Korihor, when he was brought before Alma and the Chief Judge in Zarahemla continued to accuse the Priesthood bearers of treachery toward the people and with great swelling words reviled the prophets as he had done in Gideon. He argued against the existence of the Father and the coming of His Only Begotten. Alma accused him of arguing against his convictions, but this Korihor stoutly denied.
In verse 31 it is noted the vehemence with which Korihor accused the Presiding High Priest, and his subordinate priests and teachers of "glutting on the labors of the people." This charge is a familiar complaint lodged against the leaders of the Saints in these Last Days. It is a favorite device of the devil so as to cause dissention among the people of God. It has been used by all servants of evil.
In Alma's answer to this charge we have a pleasing insight into his private life. He labored with his own hands to provide the necessities of life, and notwithstanding his personal burdens, he travelled "round about the land to declare the Word of God unto my people," and he notes "I have never received so much as even one senine for my labor; neither has any of my brethren, save it were in the Judgment Seat; and then we have received only according to law for our time."
Alma now asked Korihor the logical questions recorded in verses 34-35, to which Korihor answered in opposition to the truth. He knew the injustice of his claims, but there are none, it has been said, so blind as those who will not see, none so deaf as those who will not hear.
