Be ni Yesu kɛ esɔɔmɔ nitsumɔ lɛ baa naagbee lɛ, ekɛ nɔkwɛmɔnii tsu nii kɛkpa woloŋmalɔi lɛ kɛ osɔfoi tsiifoi lɛ ahe mama. Enɛ hewɔ lɛ, amɛmiitao amɛgbe lɛ. (Luka 20:19) Shi Yesu kɛwaaa jɛmɛ. Egba nɔkwɛmɔnɔ kroko:

Ekɛɛ akɛ: “Ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ tamɔ maŋtsɛ ko ní ŋmɛ yookpeemɔ he okpɔlɔ ehã ebinuu. Ni etsu enyɔji koni amɛyatsɛ mɛi ni afɔ̃ amɛ nine kɛhã yookpeemɔ okpɔlɔŋmɛɛ lɛ, shi amɛmiii baa.” (Mateo 22:2, 3) Yesu tsĩ “ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ” tã kɛje nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ shishi. Ŋwanejee ko bɛ he akɛ, Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ ji “maŋtsɛ” lɛ. Namɔ ji maŋtsɛ lɛ bi lɛ, kɛ mɛi ni afɔ̃ amɛ nine kɛba yookpeemɔ okpɔlɔŋmɛɛ lɛ shishi lɛ?

Namɛi ji mɛi ni afɔ̃ amɛ nine klɛŋklɛŋ? Namɛi Yesu kɛ bɔfoi lɛ shiɛ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ he sane lɛ amɛtsɔɔ? Yudafoi lɛ. (Mateo 10:6, 7; 15:24) Yɛ afi 1513 D.Ŋ.B. lɛ, maŋ nɛɛ kpɛlɛ nɔ akɛ amɛbaaye Mla kpaŋmɔ lɛ nɔ, ni amɛ amɛná hegbɛ lɛ klɛŋklɛŋ akɛ amɛtsɔmɔ “osɔfoi amaŋtsɛyeli.” (2 Mose 19:5-8) Shi mɛɛ be afɔ̃ amɛ nine kɛhã “yookpeemɔ okpɔlɔŋmɛɛ lɛ”? Afee enɛ yɛ afi 29 Ŋ.B. be ni Yesu bɔi ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ he sane lɛ shiɛmɔ lɛ.

Shi Yesu tsɔɔ akɛ abaahã Yudafoi lɛ hegbɛ ekoŋŋ, ekɛɛ akɛ: “[Maŋtsɛ lɛ saa] etsu nyɔji krokomɛi ekɛɛ, ‘Nyɛkɛa mɛi ni afɔ̃ amɛ nine lɛ akɛ: “Naa!

Nakai beiaŋ lɛ, Yudafoi lɛ yɛ hegbɛ lolo akɛ amɛtsɔmɔɔ Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ mli bii, shi amɛteŋ mɛi pii hereee tsɛmɔ lɛ nɔ, ni amɛwa ‘maŋtsɛ lɛ nyɔji lɛ’ ayi po.​—Bɔfoi 4:13-18; 7:54, 58.

Mɛni jɛ nɔ ni amɛfee lɛ mli kɛba? Yesu kɛɛ akɛ: “Maŋtsɛ lɛ mli fu, ni etsu etabilɔi, ni amɛyagbe nakai gbɔmɔgbelɔi lɛ, ni amɛshã amɛmaŋ lɛ.” (Mateo 22:7) Enɛ ba Yudafoi lɛ anɔ yɛ afi 70 Ŋ.B., be ni Romabii lɛ kpãtã “amɛmaŋ,” ni ji Yerusalem lɛ hiɛ lɛ.

Yesu tee nɔ ewie akɛ: “Kɛkɛ ni [maŋtsɛ lɛ kɛɛ] enyɔji lɛ akɛ, ‘Ato yookpeemɔ okpɔlɔŋmɛɛ lɛ he gbɛjianɔ agbe naa moŋ, shi mɛi ni afɔ̃ amɛ nine lɛ, amɛsaaa.

Nɔ ko ni sa kadimɔ ji, sɛɛ mli lɛ, bɔfo Petro ji mɔ klɛŋklɛŋ ni atsu ni yaye ebua jeŋmajiaŋbii, ni ji mɛi ni jeee Yudafoi lɛ loo mɛi ni kɛ amɛhe ebadɔmɔko Yudafoi lɛ, ni amɛbatsɔmɔ anɔkwa Kristofoi. Yɛ afi 36 Ŋ.B. lɛ, Nyɔŋmɔ mumɔ krɔŋkrɔŋ lɛ ba Roma asraafoiatsɛ ni atsɛɔ lɛ Kornelio lɛ kɛ eweku lɛ nɔ, ni no hã amɛná hegbɛ akɛ amɛtsɔmɔ ŋwɛi Maŋtsɛyeli lɛ ni Yesu tsĩ tã lɛ mli bii.​—Bɔfoi 10:1, 34-48.
