Doctrine and Covenants D&C 113:1
"Who is the Stem of Jesse spoken of in the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th verses of the 11th chapter of Isaiah?"
Old Testament Isaiah 11:1
"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:"

Shared words: the Stem of Jesse

The question names its source by book, chapter, and verses. The answer is one clause, D&C 113:2: 'Verily thus saith the Lord: It is Christ.' Divergences: in the prophecy the stem is what the rod comes out of and is not itself the subject; the question treats it as a person to be identified. Capitalization diverges, 'Stem' against 'stem'. 'stem of Jesse' stands at four distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 113:1, D&C 113:3, Isaiah 11:1, 2 Nephi 21:1 - the last already registered against Isaiah 11:1 on isaiah.md, a different verse pair.
