THE MORTAL MESSIAH

"He was to come down from heaven, dwell in a tabernacle of clay, work mighty miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead, cause the lame to walk and the blind to see, cure all manner of diseases, and cast out devils. He was to suffer temptations and pain, hunger, thirst and fatigue, and in his greatest ordeal he would bleed great drops of blood from every pore.

He was to teach the gospel, carry the lambs of his flock in his arms and speak in parables to the unbelieving......He was to be persecuted for righteousness' sake; to bear the infirmities of the people; to be a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.....He was to be rejected, lifted up upon a cross and crucified for the sins of the world to bring to pass the resurrection of all men."

- Bruce R. McConkie, "The mortal Messiah Book 1", p 39
