3 Nephi 12:14 · Matthew 5:14
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.
The light saying. 3 Nephi 12:14 reads 'I give unto you to be' for Matthew's 'Ye are', and 'the light of this people' for 'the light of the world' (Matthew 5:14); the city-on-a-hill clause is shared ('a hill' / 'an hill'). Compare 3 Nephi 11:11, where the risen Lord claims 'the light and the life of the world' for himself.
