Esịt ayat mme asua Jesus etieti sia ndondo emi ke enye osụk ọnọ uwụtn̄kpọ ndiwụt nte mmọ ẹdiọkde ẹketre. Mme Pharisee ẹdụk odu ndikọk afia mmụm enye. Mmọ ẹnyụn̄ ẹkpe ndusụk mbet mmọ ẹsịn ẹte ẹkedomo enye idomo, man enye etịn̄ ikọ edue, mmimọ inyụn̄ iyak enye isịn ke ubọk mbon Rome.—Luke 6:7.

Mbet mme Pharisee emi ẹdọhọ enye ẹte: “Andikpep, nnyịn imọfiọk ite afo etịn̄ onyụn̄ ekpep owo n̄kpọ nte enende, unyụn̄ uten̄eke owo enyịn, edi afo ekpep usụn̄ Abasi nte ekemde ye akpanikọ: Nte ibet enyịme nnyịn ikpe tax inọ Caesar m̀mê inyịmeke?” (Luke 20:21, 22) Mmọ ikemeke ndida nneminua mmọ emi mbian̄a Jesus, sia enye ọdiọn̄ọ ke mmọ ẹdi mbon n̄kari ye mbon mbubịk. Edieke enye ọdọhọde mmọ ke inenke ndikpe tax, ẹkeme ndidọhọ ke enye ọsọn̄ ibuot ye ukara Rome. Edi edieke enye ọdọhọde ke enen, yak ẹkpe tax emi, mbon emi mîmaha ukara Rome ẹkeme ndisịn ntịme ye enye sia mîdin̄wan̄ake mmọ ntak emi Jesus ọdọhọde ẹkpe. Ntem Jesus ọbọrọ mmọ didie?

Jesus obụp mmọ ete: “Ntak emi mbufo ẹdomode mi, mbon mbubịk? Ẹwụt mi okụk tax.” Mmọ ẹda denarius kiet ẹsọk enye. Ndien enye obụp mmọ ete: “Mbiet ye enyịn̄ emi ẹdi eke anie?” Mmọ ẹbọrọ enye ẹte: “Eke Caesar.” Ekem enye ọdọhọ mmọ ete: “Ẹnọ Caesar se inyenede Caesar, ẹnyụn̄ ẹnọ Abasi se inyenede Abasi.”—Matthew 22:18-21.

Nte Jesus ọbọrọde mbụme emi akpa mme owo  emi idem. Utọ ibọrọ emi ekịbi mmọ inua ndien mmọ ẹdaha ẹkpọn̄ enye. Eyo ikụtke kan̄a, mmọ inyụn̄ itreke ndisụk nsịn ukeme nyom se ẹdidade imụm enye. Sia mme Pharisee mîkekemeke ndinam Jesus etịn̄ ikọ edue, mme adaiso ke otu en̄wen ẹdi ẹbịne Jesus.

Mme Sadducee emi mînịmke ke mme owo ẹyeset ke n̄kpa ẹbụp mbụme emi aban̄ade ediset ke n̄kpa ye ndọ eyenete ebe. Mmọ ẹbụp Jesus ẹte: “Andikpep, Moses ọkọdọhọ ete, ‘Edieke owo ekededi akpade ndien mînyeneke nditọ, ana eyenete esie emen n̄wan esie ọdọ onyụn̄ obon eyen ọnọ eyenete esie.’ Nditọete itiaba ẹkedu ye nnyịn; akpan ọdọ ndọ onyụn̄ akpa, ndien inyeneke eyen, enye onyụn̄ ọkpọn̄ n̄wan esie ọnọ eyenete esie. Kpasụk ntre n̄ko ke ekedi ye udọ ye ọyọhọ ita, tutu esịm ofụri mbitiaba oro. Ke akpatre, n̄wan oro akpa. Mmọdo, ke ediset ke n̄kpa, enye edidi n̄wan anie ke otu mbitiaba oro? Koro kpukpru mmọ ẹma ẹdọ enye.”—Matthew 22:24-28.

Jesus okot se Moses ekewetde ndida mbọrọ mbụme mmọ sia mmọ mme Sadducee ẹnịmde mme uwetn̄kpọ emi. Enye ọdọhọ mmọ ete: “Nte emi idịghe ntak mbufo ẹnamde ndudue, ke emi mbufo mîfiọkke N̄wed Abasi m̀mê odudu Abasi? Koro ke ini mmọ ẹdisetde ke n̄kpa, irenowo ididọhọ ndọ owo idinyụn̄ idaha iban inọ ke ndọ, edi mmọ ẹditie nte mme angel ke heaven. Edi kaban̄a mme akpan̄kpa emi ẹnamde ẹset, nte mbufo ikokotke ke n̄wed Moses, ke mbụk emi aban̄ade eto n̄kukịm, nte Abasi ọkọdọhọde enye ete, ‘Ami ndi Abasi Abraham ye Abasi Isaac ye Abasi Jacob’? Enye idịghe Abasi mme akpan̄kpa, edi edi eke mme odu-uwem. Mbufo ẹmenam akamba ndudue.” (Mark 12:24-27; Exodus 3:1-6) Idem akpa otuowo aban̄a ibọrọ oro!

Sia Jesus ama okokụbi mme Pharisee inua, onyụn̄ anam ntre ye mme Sadducee n̄ko, otu mbiba emi ẹdiana kiet ẹdi idahaemi ndifiak ndomo Jesus. Scribe kiet obụp Jesus ete: “Andikpep, ewe edi n̄kponn̄kan ewụhọ ke Ibet?”—Matthew 22:36.

Jesus ọbọrọ ete: “Ebeiso edi, ‘O Israel, ẹkop, Jehovah Abasi nnyịn edi Jehovah kiet, ndien afo enyene ndima Jehovah Abasi fo ke ofụri esịt fo ye ke ofụri ukpọn̄ fo ye ke ofụri ekikere fo ye ke ofụri ukeme fo.’ Udiana edi emi, ‘Afo enyene ndima mbọhọidụn̄ fo nte idemfo.’ Idụhe ewụhọ en̄wen eke okponde akan mmọ emi.”—Mark 12:29-31.

Ke scribe oro ama okokop ibọrọ emi, enye ọdọhọ Jesus ete: “Andikpep, afo emetịm etịn̄ nte ekemde ye akpanikọ, ‘Enye edi Kiet, efen inyụn̄ idụhe ke mîbọhọke Enye’; ndien owo ndima enye ke ofụri esịt ye ke ofụri ifiọk ye ke ofụri ukeme ye owo ndima mbọhọidụn̄ esie nte idemesie etịm ọsọn̄ urua akan ofụri edifọp uwa ye mme uwa eken.” Sia Jesus ọfiọkde ete ke scribe oro ọbọrọ ye eti ibuot, enye ọdọhọ enye ete: “Afo uyomke usụn̄ ukpọn̄ obio ubọn̄ Abasi.”—Mark 12:32-34.

Jesus ekpep mme owo n̄kpọ ke temple usen ita idahaemi (Nisan 9, 10, ye Nisan 11). Enenem ndusụk owo nte scribe emi ndikop ikọ Jesus. Edi abiak mme adaiso ido ukpono etieti. Kpa ye oro, mmọ ndomokiet inyeneke “uko aba ndibụp enye mbụme.”
