Petulo ananena kuti: “Inunso mukudziwa bwino kuti si zololeka kuti Myuda azicheza ndi munthu wa mtundu wina kapena kumuyandikira. Koma Mulungu wandionetsa kuti ndisatchule munthu aliyense kuti wodetsedwa kapena wonyansa.” (Mac. 10:28) Pa nthawiyi, Petulo anazindikira kuti masomphenya amene anaonawo sanali chabe okhudza mitundu ya zakudya zimene munthu ayenera kudya. Koma anaona kuti sayenera ‘kutchula munthu aliyense [ngakhale wa mtundu wina] kuti ndi wodetsedwa.’

Poyamba kulankhula, Petulo ananena mawu ogwira mtima akuti: “Ndazindikira ndithu kuti Mulungu alibe tsankho. Iye amalandira munthu wochokera mu mtundu uliwonse, amene amamuopa ndi kuchita chilungamo.” (Mac. 10:34, 35) Petulo anali atazindikira kuti Mulungu sakondera anthu potengera mtundu, fuko kapena maonekedwe awo. Kenako Petulo anapitiriza kuchitira umboni pofotokoza za utumiki wa Yesu, imfa yake ndiponso kuukitsidwa kwake.

(Mac. 10:44, 45) Awa ndi malo amodzi okha m’Malemba amene amasonyeza kuti anthu analandira mzimu woyera asanabatizidwe. Petulo anazindikira kuti zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti Mulungu walandira anthu a mitundu inawo kuti azimulambira, choncho iye “anawalamula kuti abatizidwe.” (Mac. 10:48) Mulungu atavomereza anthuwo mu 36 C.E., zinasonyeza kuti wasiya kuona Ayuda ngati mtundu wake wapadera. (Dan. 9:24-27) Potsogolera ntchito yochitira umboni pa tsikuli, Petulo anagwiritsa ntchito kiyi wachitatu yemwenso anali womaliza pa “makiyi a Ufumu.” (Mat. 16:19) Kiyi ameneyu anatsegula mwayi woti anthu osadulidwa a mitundu ina akhale m’gulu la Akhristu odzozedwa ndi mzimu.

Choncho, tingachite bwino kudzifunsa kuti: ‘Kodi ineyo ndinachotsa maganizo a tsankho aliwonse mumtima mwanga? Popeza kuti anthu ambiri m’dzikoli amachita zinthu zogawanitsa anthu, monga kukonda kwambiri dziko lawo, mtundu wawo, chikhalidwe chawo ndiponso kusankhana mitundu, kodi ineyo ndinatsimikiza ndi mtima wonse kuti sindidzalola zinthu zimenezi kundipangitsa kuchitira abale anga a Chikhristu zinthu zosayenera?’ Kumbukirani zimene Petulo (Kefa) anachita patapita zaka zingapo kuchokera pamene anthu a mitundu ina anayamba kukhala otsatira a Khristu. Chifukwa choopa anthu ena atsankho, iye “anadzipatula” pakati pa Akhristu a mitundu ina moti anachita kudzudzulidwa ndi Paulo.
