3 Nephi 28 The Three Nephites are Translated


Christ’s twelve disciples were interviewed individually by Jesus.  Nine of them wanted to come directly to Jesus when there ministry on earth was completed.  Jesus touched these nine with his finger and told them they would live to be seventy two and then they would come unto him.  The other three were caught up into heaven and were translated.  They saw things they were not allowed to mention or write.  They were to remain on the earth ministering to God’s children until Christ would come again.  As translated beings they could not be injured or killed, neither could they be detained in prison.  If they desired to travel, they could pray and God would deliver them there instantly.  They have become known to Mormon history as the “Three Nephites.”  Their main role is missionary work.
