The Book of Mormon

1 Nephi 4:26

1830 Edition

And he, supposing that I spake of the brethren of the church, and that I was truly that Laban whom I had slain, wherefore he did follow me.

Simple English

He thought I was talking about the church brothers. He thought I really was Laban, who I had killed. So he followed me.

Paraphrase

He assumed I meant the church leaders and that I really was Laban, the man I had just killed. So he followed.
