1 Nephi 12:9 · Revelation 21:14
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 compound 'the twelve apostles of the Lamb' stands at exactly nine verses in the corpus — 1 Nephi 11:35, 11:36, 12:9, 13:26, 13:39, 13:40, 13:41, 14:20, and Revelation 21:14 — and at no other verse in the Bible; the shorter 'apostles of the Lamb' adds only 1 Nephi 11:34. Both verses set the twelve apostles of the Lamb beside the twelve tribes of Israel: 1 Nephi 12:9 has them judge the twelve tribes; Revelation writes the twelve tribes on the city's gates (21:12) and the twelve apostles of the Lamb on its foundations (21:14). The corpus accounts for the title's origin inside its own world: 'for thus were the twelve called by the angel of the Lord' (1 Nephi 11:34). That is an account of how the phrase entered Nephi's vision, not an account of the correspondence with Revelation, and it names no source text or author — so it does not lift this record out of class (c). Reported without scoring: the apostles judging the twelve tribes is also a Gospels saying (Matthew 19:28, Luke 22:30), so the judging clause is not distinctive to this pair; the compound title is. The record is deliberately anchored at 1 Nephi 12:9 rather than 14:20: the singular 'apostle of the Lamb' occurs only at 1 Nephi 14:24, 14:25, 14:27, inside the pericope whose identification question is reserved for later treatment, and no part of this record touches it. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
