Section 35

Sidney Rigdon was an early convert to the church.  He was commanded by the Lord to be a scribe and spokesman for Joseph Smith.  He worked as a scribe for Joseph as he translated the Bible.  This work became known as the Joseph Smith Translation. Most of this translation is included in the footnotes and appendix of the LDS Version of the Bible.  Sidney was promised that he could do great miracles if he was obedient to the commandments. He was also taught how to become a son of God through the Atonement.  And he was warned of the Lord’s second coming. The Lord addresses Sidney this way:

1 Listen to the voice of the Lord your God, even Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, whose course is one eternal round, the same today as yesterday, and forever.

 2 I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, even as many as will believe on my name, that they may become the sons of God, even one in me as I am one in the Father, as the Father is one in me, that we may be one.
