This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The shared core 'arm of mercy is extended towards you' — singular 'arm', present tense 'is extended', second person — stands verbatim at both ends; the one change is the possessive: 'mine' (the risen Lord speaking of his own arm, 9:14) for Jacob's 'his' (of the Lord's arm). Jacob 6:5 is the tightest far end. Abinadi's own leg had pluralized and past-tensed the figure into a verdict on the damned — 'the arms of mercy were extended towards them, and they would not' (Mosiah 16:12, registered mos-abinadi-arms-of-mercy); 3 Nephi 9:14 returns the figure to Jacob's singular-present form, now spoken by the owner of the arm as invitation ('whosoever will come, him will I receive'). Chain: Jacob 6:5 (plea) -> Mosiah 16:12 (Abinadi's verdict) -> Mosiah 29:20 ('extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him') -> 3 Nephi 9:14 (the Lord's invitation at the advent). Extends the mos-abinadi-arms-of-mercy chain. The chain also runs through Alma 5:33 - 'the arms of mercy are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I will receive you' - which already casts the figure as divine invitation and anticipates 9:14's 'whosoever will come, him will I receive'; what is new at 9:14 is the first person ('mine arm of mercy'). Full distribution: Jacob 6:5, Mosiah 16:12, Mosiah 29:20, Alma 5:33, 3 Nephi 9:14 (five verses).
