Book of Mormon Mosiah 3:8
"he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 25:19
"his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God"

Shared words: Jesus Christ, the Son of God

The record's two full name-prophecies, both angel-credited: Benjamin's prophecy is 'made known unto me by an angel from God' (Mosiah 3:2); Nephi cites 'the word of the angel of God' (2 Nephi 25:19). The six-word string 'Jesus Christ, the Son of God' is identical; frames differ ('he shall be called' vs 'his name shall be'). Mosiah 3:8 alone adds the mother's name - 'and his mother shall be called Mary.' Mary occurs at exactly two verses in the record: Mosiah 3:8 and Alma 7:10 'he shall be born of Mary' (corpus-wide the name pervades the frozen New Testament). Whether the two angels are one is not stated by either text.
