The eye hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard, before, so great and marvelous things as we saw and heard Jesus speak unto the Father; and no tongue can speak, neither can there be written by any man, neither can the hearts of men conceive so great and marvelous things as we both saw and heard Jesus speak; and no one can conceive of the joy which filled our souls at the time we heard him pray for us unto the Father.

3 Nephi 17:16-17

The story behind We Heard Him Pray For Us

This painting is the first in a series illustrating the ancient American ministry of Jesus Christ.  Soon after His resurrection He visited descendants of ancient Israel, whose ancestors, centuries earlier, fled the destruction of Jerusalem and subsequent captivity in Babylon.

His ministry among the ancient inhabitants of the Americas included the teachings, miracles, and organization of the church that had been part of His ministry in Palestine.  Among the many things He did was to show the people how to pray.  The account, which frequently mentions prayer, records something of the profound influence His example and teachings had upon the people.
