Chinamukwatiwu Yesu mwitempa daÑesemani, apostolu anamushiyi nawa anatemuki muloña wawoma. Hela chochu, ayedi anemani. HiPetulu “nakambanji mukwawu,” chakadi nikujina hikapostolu Yowanu. (Yowanu 18:15; 19:35; 21:24) Akumuwana cheñi Yesu chinakumutwalawu kwitala daAnasi. Anasi chinamutemeshiyi Yesu kudi Kapristu Muneni Kayafwasi, aPetulu naYowanu anakulondela hahalehi. Hadaha anakwakama muloña anakutiya woma nichuma chikumwilawu Mwanta wawu.

Yowanu amwiluka kudi kapristu muneni nawa dichi neñili mukachi kalubanza lwetala daKayafwasi. Ilaña Petulu nashali hanji hachiisu sampu Yowanu nafunti nakumuhoshelaku kudi ñamba wamumbanda wunakuhemba hachiisu. Kuhiñahu, Petulu anamwiteji kwiñila.

Haniwu wufuku, kunatuuti nankashi, dichi antu munilu lubanza anakoota kesi. Petulu nashakami nawu hamu kulonda atiyiku iyena niyena hampinji yinakuhembelelayi “amoni yuma yikumwekana” hakumusompeshañawu Yesu. (Matewu 26:58) Chineli chejeji chinakutoñeka, nhembi wahachiisu wamwiteja Petulu kwiñila namushinshikishi. Namwihuli nindi: “Nineyi wudi kambanji kaniwu muntu, netu?” (Yowanu 18:17) Nawa bayi neyi yena kankawindi hohu diyi wunamwiluki Petulu nawu wadiña naYesuku.—Matewu 26:69, 71-73; Maku 14:70.

Chumichi chinamuneñeshi Petulu. Nakukeña abuli kumwiluka nawa nafumi nikuchiisu. Dichi Petulu nakaani nindi wadiña wanyi naYesu, nawa mpinji yimu nahoshi nindi: “Iwu muntu hinamwilukaku nawa ami kwami nsañu yiwunakuhosha nayiluki wanyi.” (Maku 14:67, 68) Natachiki cheñi “kudishiña nikusanyika,” chinakumwekesha nawu nateli nikusanyika kulonda amwekeshi nindi nakuhosha mwalala nikumubabeshelahu neyi atwamba.—Matewu 26:74.

Haniyi mpinji, Yesu anakumusompesha hadaha mwitala daKayafwasi mukapeka kahewulu. Petulu niantu amakwawu anakumuchiñilila mwishina nawa anakumona antu anakuya nakushimuna wunsahu chinakwilawu eñila edika, eñila edika.

Petulu namwekeshi nindi chinakuhoshayi nakutwamba muloña nakuhosha neyi chahoshañawu antu amuÑaliliya. Kubombelahu, muntu wumu hezanvu hintaña yaMalikusa, aketulawu itu. Dichi namwihuli Petulu nindi: “Nakumona wadiña hamu nindi mwitempa, netu?” Petulu chinamukaaniyi ipampa damuchisatu ikombu dinateli, neyi chashimwineñahu dehi.—Yowanu 13:38; 18:26, 27.

Haniyi mpinji, hadaha Yesu wudi hewulu nakutala mulubanza. Mwanta nashetumuki nakumutala Petulu, nawa chumichi chinamukati nankashi Petulu. Nanuki chamulejayi Yesu mumaora antesha hohu anahitihu mukapeka kahewulu. Fwikijenu Petulu chinatiyiyi nakwanuka chuma chineliyi. Petulu nediki hanji nawa nadili nankashi.—Luka 22:61, 62.

Muloñadi chuma chamuchidiwu chichinamwekeni? Indi Petulu wadiña wakola kuspiritu nawa washinshika nakaaninidi Mwanta windi? Awa antu anamutwambili Yesu, nawa anakumumona nawu hikapondu. Petulu chatela amwimeniku iwu iyala wakadi muloña, ilaña yena namufutaleli Muntu wukweti “mazu awumi wahaya nyaaka.”—Yowanu 6:68.

Chuma chamumwekeneni Petulu chinakumwekesha nawu nimuntu wukweti chikuhwelelu chakola nawa wadihana nateli kufuukula mwaheña neyi chakwila namoni kukala kwabula kukuhwelelayi hela kweseka. Dichi ambuña aNzambi ejima atela kudizila kuchuma chamumwekeneni Petulu!
