Muze Yesu amwene chize Maria analila, hamwe ni yinyengo yo, aye yevwa yikola yinji ku mbunge. (Yoano 11:21, 33, 35) Yesu kevwile yinyengo yize twakwivwa ni twafwisa mutu yoze twazanga.

Iye kakahindwishile wika Lazaru. Mbimbiliya yinatulweza hakutwala kuli umwe mwana-pwo wa miaka 12 yoze te unayiza chinji. Tato, Yaru, kalipikalile chinji, nawa yaliumba kuli Yesu hanga amuuke kama. Te mwanenyi wa wika. Muze te anahanjika ni Yesu, umwe lunga yeza, yamulweza ngwenyi: “Mwane hafwa.

Muze te anakundama ku zuwo, Yesu kamwene ni kwivwa zungo lia atu waze te analili.

Angahi e no? Yesu kambile ngwo te mapwa akehe, waze avuluka ngwo “mbunga yikepe ya mapanga.” (Luka 12:32) Postolo Yoano kanasolola unji wa atu jacho muze amwene Yesu “kanamana ha Mulundu wa Zaione [malilu], ni hamwe nenyi 144,000.”—Usolwelo 14:1.

²⁴ Ha shimbu lika akwa-Kristu 144,000 te maputuka kwahindwisa? Mbimbiliya yinambe ngwo, chino te muchilingiwa muze Kristu maputuka kuyula mu malilu.
