3 Nephi 17:19-22

Brant Gardner

At the end of the prayer, it was not the end of the event. Jesus had all arise, and his own emotions spilled over. He declared “my joy is full,” and he wept.

Then, he focuses on the children around him. They had been around him during the prayer, and much of the prayer likely foretold the future to, and about, them. He gives each a blessing. And “he wept again.”
