Doctrine and Covenants D&C 33:10
"Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: Repent, repent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand;"
New Testament Matthew 3:3
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."

Shared words: prepare ye the way of the Lord

Nine words run together, the revelation inserting one 'and'. 'make his paths straight' stands at seven frozen verses: these two, 1 Nephi 10:8, Mark 1:3, Luke 3:4, D&C 65:1, and D&C 133:17. Divergence: in the gospel the words are the wilderness voice's own, quoted by the evangelist from a prophet; in the revelation they are given to the missionaries as words to say.
