Ove umanya liokumphundukisa, mokonda omalusoke ove ha Huku, mahi o ovanthu.” (Mat. 16:23; Mar. 8:32, 33) Monondaka mba Jesus muna elondolo pala onthwe atuho.

20, 21. (a) Popiapo emonekelo Petulu amuene. (b) Oñgeni etompho liakalele pemonekelo liakuatesako okuviyula Petulu?

²¹ Jesus ahimbika nokupiluluka otyo vemutala. Otyipala tyae atyihimbika okuliaima alo tyakala ngekumbi. Ovikutu viae tupu avihimbika okutuela nokuliaima. Konyima ponthele yae apamoneka ovanthu vevali umwe ukahi nga Moisesi omukuavo o Eliya.

22, 23. (a) Oñgeni Petulu alekesa okuti ondyandyi nokuapama? (b) Petulu na Tiago na João vatambula ondyambi patyi motyinthiki tyina?

Moluotyo, Petulu ati: “Mulongesi, otyiwa tukale pano, tulinge omakaka etatu, limwe oliove, ekuavo olia Moisesi, iya ekuavo olia Eliya.” Mahi tyotyili ovaumbili vevali va Jeova vamoneka memonekelo olio ankho vankhiale kohale kavesukisa vali omakaka. Tyotyili Petulu ankho ketyii etyi ekahi nokupopia. Mahi ove kuhambukilwa omulume oo ondyandyi nokuapama?​—Luc. 9:33.

²³ Petulu na Tiago na João vatambula vali ondyambi onkhuavo motyinthiki otyo. Keulu akutundu ekaka alilapela kuvo. Mekaka olio amutundu ondaka, ankho ondaka ya Jeova Huku! Aiti: “Ou Omona wange, una naholovona. Mutehelelei.” Konyima emonekelo alimanuhuka, avesala vala na Jesus komphunda.​—Luc. 9:34-36.

24. (a) Oñgeni emonekelo liakuatesako Petulu? (b) Oñgeni hono emonekelo lipondola okutukuatesako?

Omanima amwe konyima Petulu wahoneka konthele yelao akala nalio motyinthiki tyina, etyi alekeswa Jesus ngatyina ekahi keulu ngohamba iya Petulu akala nelao “liokutala omunkhima wae”. Emonekelo lina liapameka omaulo omanyingi ekahi Mondaka ya Huku nokupameka ekolelo lia Petulu, akoleleye etyi konyima alolwa. (Tanga 2 Pedro 1:16-19.) Tupu nonthwe malipameka ekolelo lietu, inkha tulinga nga Petulu, okukala ovakuatyili Komulongesi wetu una Jeova etuholovonena, nokulilongesila kwe, nokuviyulwa nokumulandula nomutima weliola nthiki na nthiki.
