3 Nephi 17:1-8

After Jesus finished saying these things, He looked around again at the people and said to them, "Now, my time is near. I see that you are weak and can't understand all my words that the Father has commanded me to tell you now. Therefore, go home and think about what I have said. Ask the Father, in my name, so you can understand and prepare your minds for tomorrow when I come back. But now I go to the Father and also to show myself to the lost tribes of Israel. They are not lost to the Father. He knows where He was taken them."

After Jesus said this, He again looked around at the people. They were in tears and looked constantly at Him as if they would ask Him to stay a little longer.

He said to them, "I feel great compassion for you in my heart. Do you have any sick people with you? Bring them here. Do you have any that are crippled, blind, injured, diseased, deaf, or troubled in any way? Bring them here and I will heal them, because I have compassion for you. My heart is filled with mercy. I see that you wish me to do for you what I have done for your brothers and sisters at Jerusalem. Your faith is strong enough for me to heal you."
