Uhiya commo, Yesu ahowoopana mwaha namanle, kontha ancuwela wiira maapostolu  yampheela upanka itthu yomaana.

Waahookhalaru commo, Yesu ahowoonihera unamaana aawaaceraka saana.—Mark. 9:34; Luka 22:24.

Aholeli ottiini ya ayuuta ciicammo yeecona ukhalana ifayita waapwaha akhwaaya. i (Luka 18:9-12) Yesu ancuwela wiira nnyo citthunyo canhala uwiiriha attharyaawe upheela ulemelihiya waapwaha akhwaaya. (Miru. 19:11) Yesu ancuwela wiira attharyaawe yanhala upanka citthu coohiloka ni anaavilela. Uyo ancuwela wiira attharyaawe yahaana nrima womaana. Phimaana, ankumiha ukati wiira awiitthucihe ukhala atthu owiiyeviha ni wooniherana nifento, uhiya upheela ukhala ofayita waapwaha akhwaaya.
