Yesu papagwíte mushilambo shapai, ashinauka annola Lashalu pamo na valumbuvake, Malita namu Maliya. Vatatu ava uti vavele vambodi vambone vamwe Yesu.

Myombe Patulu andítangola kenga Yesu ‘kwashimunu vanimpedya, kanji vanindyuwa kwa imumu.’ (1 Patulu  3:18) Yesu andyujila kuwa ndanama kenga munu wa imumu yadimongo!
