I am fully aware of the Messianic Secret in Mark, but I don't understand why Martin Harris would feel as though he should be punished for revealing the pages he recorded from Smith's translation of the Golden Plates. After their loss, it is my understanding that Harris never again served as scribe. Furthermore, according to my tour guide, Smith also claimed responsibility for this loss, stating that "God had to humble him" by "giving into" Smith's desire to let Harris have the pages.

What was so sacred about these 116 pages that revealing them was so bad? Was the theology contained therein of particular importance, or was the problem simply that Smith felt he should not have betrayed the command of the Angel?
