23 Ko e fakauku kakato ʻi he vaí ko e founga papitaiso totonu ia ki he kau tuí. Hili hono papitaiso ʻo Sīsū ʻi he Vaitafe Sioataní, naʻá ne ‘ʻalu hake leva mei he vaí.’ (Maake 1:10) Ko e ʻIunoke ʻItiopeá naʻe papitaiso ia ʻi “ha vai [lahi].” Ko ia mo Filipé naʻá na “ō hifo . . . ki he vai” pea hili ia naʻá na “ō hake mei” ai. (Ngāue 8:36-40) Ko hono fakafelāveʻi ko ia ʻa e papitaisó mo e tanu fakaefakatātaá ʻokú ne toe fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e fakauku fakaʻaufuli ʻi he vaí.—Loma 6:4-6; Kolose 2:12.
24 ʻOku pehē ʻe he The Oxford Companion to the Bible: “Ko e ngaahi fakamatala fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi papitaiso pau ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ko e tokotaha naʻe papitaisó naʻe fakauku ʻi he loto vaí.” Fakatatau ki he tohi Falanisē ko e Larousse du XXe Siècle (Pālesi, 1928), “ko e ʻuluaki kau Kalisitiané naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e papitaisó ʻi hono fakauku ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ai ha vai.” Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe he tohi After Jesus—The Triumph of Christianity: “ʻI hono founga tefito tahá, ko e [papitaisó] naʻe fiemaʻu ai ha fakahāhā ʻo e tuí ʻe he tokotaha kanititeití, pea hoko atu ai hono fakauku fakaʻaufuli ʻi he vaí ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsuú.”
