Joseph Smith

Are there really multiple accounts of the First Vision?

The Short Answer

Yes. Joseph told the story several times to different people, and he focused on different details each time — which is normal for any big experience. The Church's essay walks through all of them. They all agree on the main thing: God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him.
