“They Did Follow Me”

Brant Gardner

Nephi's speech is sufficiently effective that his brothers accompany him to the walls of Jerusalem. Nevertheless, it is Nephi alone who enters to carry out this latest mission. Since Nephi performed the mission alone, perhaps they accompanied him to assist him in carrying the plates (taking turns, as they had to have some weight to them) or perhaps to assist should he come fleeing from Laban and his fifty.
