Lwanima, Jesus okwa ka longifa efaneko omo Omufarisai umwe oo e lishii ouyuki a ilikana ta ti: “Kalunga, ohandi ku pandula eshi inandi fa ovanhu vamwe . . . Ohandi lidilike oikulya luvali moshivike.” (Lukas 18:11, 12) Ovahongwa vaJohannes otashi dulika va li have lidilike oikulya shi li onghedindjikilile. Ile tashi dulika va kala tave lidilike oikulya molwaashi ova li va nyika oluhodi eshi Johannes a tulwa modolongo. Ovo va li ve shi mona otashi dulika navo va li va kumwa eshi ovahongwa vaJesus ihave lidilike oikulya, tashi dulika tave shi ningi okuulika kutya ova nyika oluhodi omolwoshinima osho sha ningilwa Johannes.

Natango, ovanhu ihava tula omaviinyu mape momakutu makulu. Ngeenge ova ningi ngaho, omakutu otaa pomboka ndele omaviinyu taa tika mo, nomakutu otaa nyonauka. Ndele ovanhu ohava tula omaviinyu mape momakutu mape.” (Mateus 9:16, 17) Jesus okwa li a hala okutya shike?
