5. Many people listened to them and believed. God blessed Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah as they taught the gospel.

6. He was also the leader of the Church. Before King Mosiah died, the Nephites chose judges to lead them. Alma the Younger became the first chief judge.

7. They obeyed the commandments, and God blessed them. The Church members shared everything they had with the poor, and they cared for the sick.

8. Not all of the Nephites were righteous. • These people loved riches and would not obey God’s commandments.

9. The wicked Nephites listened to men who did not believe the gospel. They made fun of the Church members and argued and fought with them.

10. Alma worried about the Nephites’ wickedness, so he decided to spend all of his time preaching the gospel. He chose Nephihah to replace him as chief judge.

11. When he tried to preach in Ammonihah, the people would not listen. • They threw him out of the city. Alma taught the gospel throughout the land.

12. He left to go to another city. • An angel appeared and comforted Alma. Alma was sad that the people of Ammonihah were so wicked.

13. Alma hurried back. The angel told him to go back to Ammonihah and preach again.

14. As he entered the city, he asked a man for some food. • An angel had told the man that Alma would come and that Alma was a prophet of God. Alma was hungry.

15. Alma stayed with Amulek and his family for many days. He thanked God for Amulek’s family and blessed them. This man, Amulek, took Alma to his home and fed him.

16. Alma told Amulek about his calling to teach the people of Ammonihah. • Amulek went with Alma to teach the people. The Holy Ghost helped them.

17. He said Jesus Christ would come and save those who had faith in Him and repented. Alma told the people to repent or God would destroy them.

18. They tried to throw Alma into prison, but the Lord protected him. The people of Ammonihah became angry.

19. He told them about the angel he had seen. Then Amulek began to teach. Many of the people knew Amulek; he was not a stranger as Alma was.

20. The people were surprised to hear Amulek’s testimony. Amulek said Alma was a prophet of God and spoke the truth.

21. They tried to trick Amulek with questions, but he told them he knew about their plan. Some of the people became angry, especially one wicked man named Zeezrom.

22. He would cause problems, and then people would pay him money to solve the problems he had created. Zeezrom wanted to destroy everything that was good.

23. Amulek knew God lives and said Zeezrom knew it too but loved money more than God. Zeezrom could not trick Amulek, so he offered him money to say there is no God.

24. The people were amazed. • Zeezrom began to shake with fear. Then Amulek taught Zeezrom about Jesus and about the Resurrection and eternal life.

25. Zeezrom asked questions and listened as Alma taught him the gospel. Zeezrom knew that Alma and Amulek had the power of God because they knew his thoughts.

26. Alma and Amulek continued teaching the gospel. Some people believed Alma and Amulek and began to repent and study the scriptures.
