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.
Internal pair within the prison theophany: the protective fire that shields Nephi and Lehi from their would-be killers (5:23) becomes the shared fire that encircles their converted persecutors 'every soul' (5:43-45). The chapter's own arc -- the besiegers join the encircled. 5:45's 'they were filled as if with fire' carries the fire-baptism vocabulary (doctrine-of-christ.md cross-link; the 2 Nephi 31:13-14 baptism-of-fire chain is the doctrinal far end). The divine voice cites this event as the type of fire-baptism (3 Nephi 9:20; record 3ne-doc-fire-baptism-lamanites-cited), and the fire-encircling imagery recurs at 3 Nephi 17:24 and 19:14.
