Doctrine and Covenants D&C 135:7
"with the innocent blood of all the martyrs under the altar that John saw, will cry unto the Lord of Hosts till he avenges that blood on the earth"
New Testament Revelation 6:9
"I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"

The announcement names the seer and the place and states as continuing what the older vision states as done: those under the altar 'cried with a loud voice' and asked 'dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?' at Revelation 6:10. Divergences: the older text's occupants are 'the souls of them that were slain', not 'martyrs'; the crying is past there and future here, and no four-word run stands verbatim in both. D&C 135 is an announcement about deaths already past, written in an announcing plural with no divine first person anywhere in the section; its claims are the announcers' and are attributed as such. The announcers are not named in the verse text. Ruled at the 2026-08-10 editorial review: stays wiki — John is named, but the shared wording is reworked description, not a verbatim run.
