Third, Daniel H. Ludlow has written: “Another possible interpretation is that Jesus Christ ... is essentially saying in Ether 3:15 that he has never had to show himself unto man before. This interpretation gains additional weight when considered in connection with the following verses: Ether 3:9, 19-20, 26. In these verses the Lord makes it very clear that the brother of Jared came before him with greater faith than any other man (Ether 3:9), that the brother of Jared’ could not be kept from within the veil’ (Ether 3:20), and that the Lord ’could not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the Lord could show him all things’ (Ether 3:26).
