Pomwe Jezu akhali ku Galileya, adacita bzinthu bzizinji pa basa lace la kupalizira. Tsono iye adalewa kuti: ‘Bzin’funika ndikadziwise bzipsa bzabwino bza Umambo bwa Mulungu m’mizinda minango.’ Pomwe adalewa bzimwebzi, iye adalatiza kuti akhakumbukirambo bza kukapalizira ku mizinda inango sikuti ku Galileya kokha. Tenepo, iye adayenda ‘kukapalizira m’masinagoga ya ku Judeya.’ (Luka 4:43, 44) Bzikhali bzakubveseseka kuti iye acite bzimwebzi thangwe pa nthawe imweyi, ikhafendera nsiku ya kucita mwambo wa paskwa omwe ukhacitikira ku Jeruzalemu.

Mabukhu ya Mateu, Marko, Luka na Juwau, yambafotokoza lini bzizinji pa nkhani ya bzomwe Jezu adacita ku Judeya pakundendemeza na bzomwe adacita ku Galileya. Napo kuti wanthu azinji wa ku Judeya akhabvesera lini mafala yace, Jezu alibe kusiya basa lace la ku palizira mwa nyongo, na kucitira bzabwino wanthu winango kuli-kwense komwe iye akhayenda.

Patsogolo pace, Jezu adacita ulendo bwa kuyenda ku Jeruzalemu mzinda omwe ukhali likulu la m’cigawo ca Judeya kuti akacite mwambo wa paskwa wa mu 31 EC. Iye adapita na pa cipata ca mabira comwe cikhali pafupi na thawale lomwe likhadziwika na dzina lakuti Betezata. Wanthu azinji wakuduwala, azimola na wanthu wakulemala, akhayenda ku thawale limwero. Thangwe ranyi? Thangwe iwo akhakhulupira kuti akapita mu thawalemo pomwe madziyo yakhabvunduka, angadalimba.

Jezu atafika ku thawaleri, adawona munthu omwe akhaduwala kwa magole 38, koma imweyi ikhali nsiku ya Malinkhuma. Ndipo Jezu adabvunza munthuyo kuti: ‘Kodi un’funa kucira?’ Munthuyo adamutawira kuti: ‘Mbuya, ndiribe munthu omwe angandibvike m’thawalemu madziya yakabvunduka, ndipo ndikafuna kukapita, wanthu winango ambandipitirira acikapita ndiwo.’—Juwau 5:6, 7.

Tenepo, Jezu adalewa mafala yomwe yadadabwisa munthuyo pabodzi na munthu ali-wense omwe adamubva ankulewalewa. Iye adamuuza kuti: ‘Lamuka! Nyamula makha yako ufambe.’ (Juwau 5:8) Ndipo munthuyo adacitadi bzimwebzo. Nthawe imweyoletu iye adalimba ndipo adanyamula makha yace aciyamba kufamba.

Tsono m’mbuto mwa kukondwa na bzinthu bzabwino bzomwe bzidacitikabzo, Ajuda pomwe adamuwona munthuyo, adayamba kulewalewa mwakumuyeruza kuti: ‘Lero ni nsiku ya Malinkhuma; mpsakubvumizidwa lini kuti unyamule makha yakoya.’ Tsono munthuyo adawatawira kuti: ‘Munthu omwe wandipozayo wandiuza kuti: “Nyamula makha yako ufambe.”’ (Juwau 5:10, 11) Ajudawo akhafuna kugumana mathangwe kwa munthu omwe adapoza nyakulemalayo pa nsiku ya Malinkhuma.

Pakufuna kudziwa omwe adamupoza iwo adabvunza munthu omwe adapozedwayo kuti: ‘Ni munthu uponi omwe wakuuza kuti: “Nyamula makha yako ufambe”? Tsono nyakupozedwayo akhadziwa lini kuti munthuyo akhali yani, pakuti Jezu adanyembereka pakati pa thimu la wanthu omwe akhali pamwepowo,’ ndipo Ajudawo akhadziwambo lini kuti akhali Jezu. (Juwau 5:12, 13) Patsogolo pace, munthu wakupozedwayo adadzagumana pomwe na Jezu ku templo. Pa nthawe imweyo ni pomwe adamudziwa munthu omwe adamupoza ku thawale kule.

Tenepo, pomwe nyakupozedwa ule adadzagumana pomwe na Ajuda wale, adawauza kuti adapozedwa na Jezu. Ndipo Ajudawo atabva bzimwebzi, adayenda komwe kukhana Jezuyo. Tsono iwo alibe kuyenda kuna Jezuko kuti akadziwe comwe cikhamucitisa kuti ambakwanise kucita bzinthu bzakudabwisabzo. M’mbuto mwace adayenda kuti akamumange mulandu thangwe ra adacita bzinthu bzabwino pa nsiku ya Malinkhuma. Ndipo iwo adayamba kumuboneresa na nkhani imweyi.
