Shared words: were rent in twain

The charter enacted: the same three, the same deliverance, recorded again. The phrase 'the disciples of Jesus who did tarry with them' (4 Nephi 1:30 — the three, cf. 1:37) are cast into prison, and 'the prisons were rent in twain', echoing 3 Nephi 28:19 'the prisons could not hold them, for they were rent in twain'. Applied to a prison, 'rent in twain' occurs at exactly three loci in the corpus — Alma 14:27, 3 Nephi 28:19, 4 Nephi 1:30. The 3 Nephi 28:19 / Alma 14:27 leg is the separate record 3ne-three-prison-rent, which already carries the full phrase distribution and the four-generation prison-deliverance chain. Distinct verse-pair; no collision.
