Liji yilituhuka mu malilu ngwo, Yono mwe Mwanami, ngunamuzange chikolo, muli iye ngunawahilila.” (Mateu 3:16, 17) Muze Yoano amwene ni kwivwa chilaya chacho, yanyingika ngwenyi, Yesu mwe Mesaya.

Mumu te kananyingika ngwenyi che Zambi azangile hanga iye alinge nawa mumu te kakwononokena Tato mashimbu eswe. (Yoano 8:28, 29) Yesu nawa kambulwile sango lipema mumu te kakwivwila atu keke.
