Byo papichile mulungu umo, Yesu wasendele baana banji ba bwanga ba Petelo, Yakoba ne Yoano ne kuya nabo ku mutumba walepa. Kampe bwaijile mambo bano banabalume basatu bakunukilenga.

Kiji nobe baana banji ba bwanga bamwene “Mwana muntu saka eya mu Bufumu bwanji,” byonka byalayile Yesu.

Pano bino, baana ba bwanga ba kwa Yesu bebaswishishe kumona kimwesho kya kwaluka kwa Yesu kyafikizhe bungauzhi bwa Bufumu. Palutwe kacheche, Petelo wanembele’mba: “Tuji na byambo bya bungauzhi byalumbululwa bulongo.”—2 Petelo 1:16-19.
