Iye ananena kuti: “Ufumu wanga ukanakhala mbali ya dziko lino, atumiki anga akanamenya nkhondo kuti ndisapelekedwe kwa Ayuda. Koma ufumu wanga si wocokela pansi pano ayi.” (Yohane 18:36) Iye analangizanso otsatila ake kuti azipewa maganizo, malankhulidwe ndiponso makhalidwe amene Mawu a Mulungu amaletsa.—Mateyu 20:25-27.
