Shared words: God

The two ends are the same event (the shared conversion of Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah) told by two of its participants: Ammon's account (26:17) and Alma's own recorded testimony (Mosiah 27:28). Distinctive verb: 'snatched' (26:17) / 'snatch' (Mosiah 27:28). Supporting: Ammon's 'darkest abyss… marvelous light of God' (Alma 26:3) reproduces Alma's Mosiah 27:29.
