UYesu “Kwilizwe LamaYuda”
XA WAYENIKELA ubungqina kuKorneli, uPetros wakhankanya oko uYesu wakwenzayo “kwilizwe lakwaYuda naseYerusalem.” (IZe 10:39) Ziziphi iindawo ocinga ukuba ziqukiwe kubulungiseleli bukaYesu obubalulekileyo embalini?
“Ilizwe lakwaYuda” kulapho uYesu wenza khona eminye yemisebenzi kaThixo. (Luk 4:44) Emva kokubhaptizwa kwakhe, uYesu wachitha iintsuku ezingama-40 kwintlango yakwaYuda, engummandla oyinkqantosi othandwa zizikrelemnqa nezihange. (Luk 10:30) Kamva, uYesu waya kummandla ongasentla kwaYuda waza wanikela ubungqina kumSamariyakazi ngaseSikare.—Yoh 4:3-7.
Ingxelo yeencwadi zeVangeli ibonisa ukuba uYesu washumayela ubukhulu becala kwelaseGalili. Nangona wayesiya emazantsi eYerusalem ngethuba lemithendeleko, ubukhulu becala wayichitha iminyaka emibini yobulungiseleli bakhe kummandla ongasentla weLizwe Lesithembiso. (Yoh 7:2-10; 10:22, 23) Ngokomzekelo, washumayela esenza nemimangaliso emininzi ehlab’ umxhelo ngakuLwandle lwaseGalili. Khumbula ukuba wadambisa isaqhwithi esasikolo lwandle wada wahamba phezu kwalo. Wayekhwela ephenyaneni aze ashumayele kwizihlwele ezikunxweme lolo lwandle. Abalandeli bakhe bokuqala nabona babesondelelene naye babengabalobi nabalimi ababehlala kuloo mmandla.—Mar 3:7-12; 4:35-41; Luk 5:1-11; Yoh 6:16-21; 21:1-19.
Eyona ndawo wayeshumayela kakhulu kuyo uYesu apho kwelaseGalili kwakuselunxwemeni lwaseKapernahum, “isixeko sakowabo.” (Mat 9:1) Wayekwinduli ekufuphi nalapho xa wanikela iNtshumayelo edumileyo yaseNtabeni. Ngezinye izihlandlo, wayehamba ngephenyane ukusuka kummandla waseKapernahum aye eMagadan, eBhethesayida, nakwezinye iindawo ezikufuphi.
Phawula ukuba ‘isixeko sakuloYesu’ sasingekude kakhulu ukusuka eNazarete, apho wakhulela khona; yaye sasingekude neKana, apho wajika amanzi aba yiwayini; singekude naseNayin, apho wavusa unyana womhlolokazi; yaye singekude naseBhethesayida, apho wondla ngokungummangaliso amadoda angama-5 000 waza wavula namehlo endoda eyimfama.
Emva kwePasika yowama-32 C.E., uYesu waya emantla ngaseTire naseSidon, amazibuko aseFenike. Ukusuka apho wabandisa ubulungiseleli bakhe baya kufikelela nakwezinye zezixeko ezilishumi zamaGrike ezazibizwa ngokuba yiDekapoli. UYesu wayengaseKesareya Filipi (F2) xa uPetros wavumayo ukuba unguMesiya, yaye kungabanga thuba lide emva koko wenziwa kumila kumbi, mhlawumbi kwiNtaba yeHermon. Kamva, uYesu washumayela kummandla wasePereya, ongaphesheya kweYordan.—Mar 7:24-37; 8:27–9:2; 10:1; Luk 13:22, 33.
UYesu wayichitha iveki yakhe yokugqibela emhlabeni ekunye nabafundi bakhe kufuphi nangaphakathi eYerusalem, “isixeko soKumkani omkhulu.” (Mat 5:35) Unokuzibona kule maphu iindawo ezikufuphi nalapho ofunde ngazo kwiincwadi zeVangeli, njenge-Emawusi, iBhethani, iBhethefage, neBhetelehem.—Luk 2:4; 19:29; 24:13; bona imaphu encinane enomxholo othi “Ummandla WaseYerusalem,” kwiphepha 18.
