1 Nephi 10:9-10

9  And my father said he should baptize in ^aBethabara, beyond Jordan; and he also said he should ^bbaptize with water; even that he should baptize the Messiah with water.

10  And after he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should behold and bear record that he had baptized the ^aLamb of God, who should take away the sins of the world.

            -the specifics of John and his baptizing of the Savior appear to have a tremendous impact on Nephi.  It is a detail of the Savior’s life that seems small and yet Nephi repeats the details of it twice –once at the beginning of his record, and then again at the end.  It is almost as if he begins and ends with this detail.
