Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻOku mei he meʻa ʻoku hulu ʻi he lotó ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he ngutú.” (Māt. 12:34) Ko ia ko e ʻuluaki sitepú ko hono sivisiviʻi hotau lotó tonu. ʻOku tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi ongoʻi kovi ʻokú ne tafunaki ʻa e lea fakatupu maumaú?

⁹ Ko e Kōvana Loma ko Ponitō Pailató naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko Sīsuú ko ha tangata tonuhia pea naʻe hā naʻe ʻikai te ne loto ke fai ha kovi kiate ia. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe pehē ʻe Pailato ko Sīsuú naʻe ‘halaʻatā ha meʻa te ne tuha ai mo e maté.’ Neongo ia, naʻe fakahalaiaʻi ia ʻe Pailato ki he maté. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí naʻe tō ʻa Pailato ʻi he tenge mei he fuʻu kakaí. (Luke 23:15, 21-25) “Kapau te ke tukuange ʻa e tangatá ni, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kaumeʻa koe ʻo Sisa,” ko e kalanga ia ʻa e kau fakafepaki ko iá, ʻo ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e tengé koeʻuhí ke fai honau lotó.

(Sione 18:10, 11) Kae kehe, ki mui ai, naʻe tō ʻa Pita ki he manavaheé pea aʻu ʻo fakaʻikaiʻi ʻokú ne ʻilo ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi. ʻI ha taimi nounou, naʻe maʻu ʻa e ʻapositoló ʻi he tauhele ʻo e manavahē tangatá pea fakaʻatā ʻa e meʻa ko iá ke ne taʻotaʻofi ia mei he fou ʻi ha ʻalunga loto-toʻá.—Māt. 26:74, 75.

Naʻe faingofua hono puke moʻui ia ʻe he Tēvoló. Naʻe fakatou maʻu ʻe Pita ʻa e ʻilo totonú mo e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá. Neongo ia, ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, naʻe ʻikai ke ne anga-fakanānā, hoko ʻo manavahē, pea tō ʻi he tengé. Ki muʻa ʻi hono puke ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe pōlepole ʻa Pita: “Neongo kapau ʻe tūkia kotoa ʻa e niʻihi ko ē, heʻikai te u tūkia au.” (Mk. 14:29) Naʻe mei mateuteu lelei ange ʻa e ʻapositoló ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi naʻe hanga mei muʻá kapau naʻá ne tuʻu ʻi he tuʻunga tatau hangē ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻa ia naʻe tuku ʻene falalá ki he ʻOtuá peá ne hiva: “Oku kau maaku a Jihova; e ikai teu manavahe: koeha e faa fai e ha tagata kiate au?” (Saame 118:6, PM) ʻI he pō fakaʻosi ʻo ʻEne moʻui ʻi he māmaní, naʻe ʻave ʻe Sīsū ʻa Pita mo e ongo ʻapositolo kehe ʻe toko ua ki he loto ngoue ko Ketisemaní. Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻikai ke nofoʻaki ʻāʻaá, naʻe tō ʻo mohe ʻa Pita mo hono ongo kaungāmeʻá. Naʻe fafangu kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ʻo pehē ange: “Kau tangata, mou hanganaki leʻo mo lotu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te mou hū ki ha ʻahiʻahi.” (Mk. 14:38) Ka naʻe toe tō ʻa Pita ʻo mohe pea ki mui ai naʻá ne tō ʻi he manavahē mo e tenge.
