16. Ko e hā hono lahi naʻe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene ʻofa ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá?

Naʻe hoko ʻeni ko ha kī tefito ia ki heʻene malava ke tauhi maʻu ʻene mateaki-angatonú. ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ʻe Pita ha heletā ke feinga ke taʻofi ʻaki hono ʻEikí mei hono puké, naʻe valokiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻapositoló ʻo ne ʻeke ange: “He ʻoku ke pehe koā ʻoku faingataʻa kiate au ke kole ʻeni ki heʻeku ʻEiki, ka ne ʻomi ha kongakau angelo ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pe lahi hake, ke tapa kiate au?
