8. Mosiah 14
Mosiah 14:3 What does “we hid as it were our faces from him” mean?
Mosiah 14:4 According to this verse, what did Jesus suffer for in addition to our sins?
“Jesus’ daily mortal experiences and His ministry included a sample of human sicknesses, grief, pains, sorrows, and infirmities which are ‘common to man’. Since not all human sorrow and pain is connected to sin, the full intensiveness of the Atonement involved bearing our pains, infirmities, and sicknesses, as well as our sins. Whatever our sufferings, we can safely cast our ‘care upon him; for he careth for [us]’ (1 Peter 5:7)” (Elder Maxwell, “Not My Will, But Thine” [1988], 51).

9. Mosiah 14
Mosiah 14:7 Opened not his mouth – at what point would you have blown it if you were the Savior?
Mosiah 14:8 - Read Doctrine and Covenants 19:16–18

10. Remember, David prophesied Jesus’ death
Psalms 22:6
Jesus is a worm???
(Hebrew) TOLA’ATH,: “Crimson worm” or “Scarlet worm”.
The Crimson worm [coccus ilicis] is a very special worm. When it is time for the mother Crimson worm to have babies, she finds the trunk of a tree, a wooden fencepost, or a stick. She then attaches her body to that wood and makes a hard crimson shell.  She is so strongly and permanently stuck to the wood that the shell can never be removed without tearing her body completely apart and killing her.
The Crimson worm then lays her eggs under her body and the protective shell. When the larvae hatch, they stay under the shell. Not only does the mother’s body give protection for her babies, but it also provides them with food – the babies feed on the LIVING body of the mother!
After just a few days, when the young worms grow to the point that they are able to take care of themselves, the mother dies. As the mother Crimson worm dies, she oozes a crimson or scarlet red dye which not only stains the wood she is attached to, but also her young children. They are colored scarlet red for the rest of their lives.
After three days, the dead mother Crimson worm’s body loses its crimson color and turns into a white wax which falls to the ground like snow.

11. Remember, David prophesied Jesus’ death
Psalms 22:14-18
“I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My strength is dried up…and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws.
“They pierced my hands and my feet. They look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.”

19. Mosiah 17:1
What examples do you have of people who have stood up for the truth and been “burned” (ridiculed, persecuted)?

20. Mosiah 17
“Be strong—in standing for the right. We live in an age of compromise and acquiescence. In situations with which we are daily confronted, we know what is right, but under pressure from our peers and the beguiling voices of those who would persuade us, we capitulate. We compromise. We acquiesce. We give in, and we are ashamed of ourselves. … We must cultivate the strength to follow our convictions” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Building Your Tabernacle,” Ensign, Nov. 1992, 52).
