Book of Mormon Mosiah 15:8
"giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 2:9
"he shall make intercession for all the children of men"

Shared words: the children of men

Near-verbatim - the clauses diverge only by Lehi's 'all'. Distribution of 'intercession': 2 Nephi 2:9, 2:10 ('because of the intercession for all'), Mosiah 14:12 ('made intercession for the transgressors' - Abinadi quoting Isaiah 53:12 one chapter earlier), and 15:8. Reported fact: 15:8's object-phrase follows Lehi's form ('the children of men'), not the Isaiah form Abinadi has just read aloud. Corpus disclosure: Christ's intercession is stated in the New Testament too - Romans 8:34 ('who also maketh intercession for us') and Hebrews 7:25 ('he ever liveth to make intercession for them').
