요나라¹

Jonas was a figure of spiritual significance in the Book of Mormon narrative, particularly known for his holy calling as one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus Christ selected during His ministry to the Nephites. As the son of Nephi, who was himself one of the chosen disciples, Jonas upheld a lineage of sacred service and leadership among his people (3 Nephi 19:4). His inclusion among the twelve denotes a responsibility to minister and teach the gospel, as well as to organize and administer the Church of Christ newly established in the Promised Land following His resurrection.

Though the scriptural record concerning Jonas is brief, the position he occupied as a disciple was of the utmost importance in preserving and perpetuating the doctrines and ordinances introduced by the Savior (3 Nephi 12:1; 28:3). These disciples, including Jonas, were known to be endowed with great faith and spiritual gifts, serving as special witnesses of Jesus Christ and His divine mission among their compatriots in the aftermath of His atoning sacrifice. Their roles would have crucially supported the spread of Christian teachings and the maintenance of ecclesiastical order during a transformative period in Nephite history.
