15 Da bi, awofo bi de wɔn mma nketewa brɛɛ Yesu se ɔmfa ne nsa nka wɔn nhyira wɔn. Asuafo no huu awofo no, wɔkaa wɔn anim. 16 Yesu frɛɛ mmofra no awofo no baa ne nkyɛn na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma mmofra nketewa no mmra me nkyɛn na munnsiw wɔn kwan, na eyinom sɛɛ na Onyankopɔn ahenni no yɛ wɔn dea. 17 Mereka akyerɛ mo se obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn Ahenni no sɛ abofra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛn mu.”

19 Yesu buaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wofrɛ me onipa pa? Obiara nyɛ papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn. 20 Wunim Mose mmara no: ‘Mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!’ ”

21 Osikani yi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Madi saa mmara yi nyinaa so fi me mmofraase.”

22 Yesu tee nea osikani no kae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ade baako pɛ na aka wo a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ. Kɔ na kɔtɔn wʼahode nyinaa na kyɛ sika no ma ahiafo na wubenya agyapade wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu, na afei bra bedi mʼakyi.”

23 Osikani yi tee saa asɛm yi no, anyɛ no dɛ koraa efisɛ na ɔwɔ ahode pii. 24 Yesu huu sɛ ne werɛ ahow no, ɔkae se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ahonyafo sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu! 25 Mereka akyerɛ mo se, ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yoma bewura pane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔdefo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu.”

27 Yesu buae se, “Onipa fam de, ɛyɛ den, na Onyankopɔn fam de, biribiara betumi aba mu.”

28 Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Yagyaw nea yɛwɔ nyinaa hɔ abedi wʼakyi.”

29 Yesu buaa Petro se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obiara nni hɔ a, esiane Onyankopɔn ahenni no nti, wagyaw ne fi anaa ne nuanom anaa nʼawofo anaa ne mma 30 na ɔrennya mma ɛmmoro nea wahwere no so saa bere yi mu, na daakye nso, ɔrennya nkwa a enni awiei.”

31 Yesu frɛɛ asuafo dumien no gyinaa nkyɛn baabi ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yɛrekɔ Yerusalem, na biribiara a adiyifo no aka afa Onipa Ba no ho no bɛba mu. 32 Wobeyi no ama amanamanmufo ama wɔadi ne ho fɛw, na wɔabɔ no adapaa, ate ntasu agu ne so, 33 aka no mpire, akum no na ne nnansa so no, wasɔre.”

34 Asuafo no ante nea Yesu kaa no biara ase, efisɛ na asɛm no boro wɔn adwene so.
