About This Quote

We can only testify about what we have seen: the signs and wonders of God. The above quote is a part of a speech given by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois on December 2, 1843, as he was being charged for his religious practices. In it, he quotes from the Bible. He talks about those who have been blessed by God and those who have not been so blessed.

He also talks about those who have been given signs and wonders from God and those who have not been so blessed. He then goes on to say that these miracles can only be seen by those who seek God with their whole heart.
