Acts 3:19-21: The JST Retaining the Distinction of the Persons of the Father and Son

In Acts 3:19-21, Joseph Smith made a few changes to the JST. However, he retained the distinction between God (the Father) and Jesus.

 

KJV

1867 Inspired Version (RLDS)

19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

 

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

 

 

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

 

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you, whom ye have crucified;

 

21 Whom the heavens must receive until the times of restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

 

New Testament Manuscript 2, Folio 4, p. 119:

 



 

2 =21st   heavens

3  =20th            whom ye have crucified

4  =21st               heavens
