Diakamue padibu bakuata Yezu mu budimi bua Getesemane, bapostolo badi bamushiya banyema bua buôwa. Pashishe babidi ba kudibu badi bimana. Bayidi abu ke Petelo “ne muyidi mukuabu,” bimueneka ne: mmupostolo Yone. (Yone 18:15; 19:35; 21:24) Badi mua kuikala bapete Yezu padibu benda baya nende kua Ana. Padi Ana utuma Yezu kudi muakuidi munene Kayifa, Petelo ne Yone badi benda balonda pa bule. Badi mua kuikala bapange tshia kuenza bua buôwa ne bua tshidi mua kufikila Mfumuabu.

Yone mmumanyike kudi muakuidi munene, nunku udi ubuela mu lubanza lua Kayifa. Petelo udi ushala pambelu ku tshiibi too ne padi Yone upingana ne utuadija kuakula ne nsongakaji muena mudimu udi mulame ku tshiibi. Pashishe badi bitabila Petelo bua kubuela.

Kuvua mashika butuku abu, nunku bantu bavua mu lubanza mbatemeshe kapia ka makala. Petelo udi usomba nabu bua kuota kapia eku muindile “bua kumona muvua malu mua kupita” bua tshilumbu tshia Yezu. (Matayi 26:58) Mpindieu, bua bukenke bua kapia, mulami wa ku tshiibi uvua mubueje Petelo udi umumona bimpe. Udi webeja ne: “Wewe pebe kuena umue wa ku bayidi ba muntu eu anyi?” (Yone 18:17) Pa kumumbusha yeye, bantu bakuabu pabu badi bamanya Petelo ne bamuamba muvuaye ne Yezu.​—Matayi 26:69, 71-73; Mâko 14:70.

Bualu ebu buakatekesha Petelo bikole. Uvua ujinga bua kabamumanyi to, ke kupinganaye too ne ku tshiibi. Nunku Petelo uvua muvile ne: kavua ne Yezu to, mufike too ne ku diamba ne: “Tshiena mumumanye to, tshiena ngumvua nansha tshiudi wamba to.” (Mâko 14:67, 68) Udi utuadija “kuela milawu, uditshipa,” mmumue ne: udi uditshipa wamba ne: mêyi ende mmalelela ne mmusue bua mulawu umukuata wowu kaayi malelela.​—Matayi 26:74.

Dilumbuluisha dia Yezu divua dienda dienzeka, pamuapa mu tshimue tshibambalu tshia kuulu kua nzubu wa Kayifa. Petelo ne bantu bakuabu bavua bindile panshi bavua pamuapa bamone muvuabu babuela ne bapatuka ne bantemu bua kujadika.

Bu muvua Petelo ne ngakuilu uvua uleja ne: mmuena Galela bivua bileja ne: uvua bushuwa uvila. Bualu bukuabu, mu tshisumbu tshia bantu amu, muvua mulela wa Malako, uvua Petelo mukose ditshi. Nunku wakela Petelo tshilumbu wamba ne: “Mvua mukumone nende mu budimi, ki mmuomu?” Padi Petelo uvila bua musangu muisatu, tshitala tshidi tshisama anu mukavua Yezu muambe.​—Yone 13:38; 18:26, 27.

Musangu eu, Yezu uvua mua kuikala mu lutanda mutangile mu lubanza. Mukalenge wakakudimuka ne kutangilaye diakamue Petelo, bualu ebu buvua ne bua kuikala butonde Petelo bikole. Udi uvuluka tshivua Yezu muambe mu mêba makese kumpala pavuabu mu nzubu wa kuulu. Fuanyikija muvua Petelo mudiumvue pakajingululaye tshivuaye muenze! Ke Petelo kupatuka ne kutuadija kudila bikole menemene.​—Luka 22:61, 62.

Mmunyi muvua bualu ebu mua kuenzeka? Mmunyi muvua Petelo, eu uvua udimona ne makanda a mu nyuma ne lulamatu mua kuvila Mfumuende? Bakakonyangaja mêyi a Yezu, kumukuatabu bu muena tshibawu munene. Dîba divua Petelo mua kuikala muakuile muntu eu uvua kayi ne bualu, udi umuela nyima Yeye uvua ne “mêyi a muoyo wa tshiendelele.”​—Yone 6:68.

Bualu bubi buvua bufikile Petelo ebu budi buleja ne: nansha muntu udi ne ditabuja ne mulamate Nzambi udi mua kutenkakana yeye kayi mudilongolole bimpe bua mateta anyi ntatu bidiye kayi mutekemene. Bualu buvua bufikile Petelo ebu budi didimuija kudi batendeledi ba Nzambi bonso!
