Doctrine and Covenants D&C 84:71
"And if any man shall administer poison unto them it shall not hurt them;"
New Testament Mark 16:18
"They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Shared words: it shall not hurt them

The revelation makes the poison something administered by another; the Gospel verse makes it something drunk. The revelation adds a serpent clause of its own at 84:72. 'it shall not hurt them' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two and Mormon 9:24. A limit follows at 84:73 — the signs are not to be boasted of or spoken before the world.
