Xa efika kwisixeko esitsha, uPawulos ngokuqhelekileyo uqala athethe namaYuda ngenxa yokuba ukwazi kwawo iZibhalo kwakumvulela ithuba lokuba axoxe nawo ukuze awancede aqonde iindaba ezilungileyo. Omnye umphengululi bavakalelwa kukuba eli siko lakhe uPawulos lokuqala kubantu bakubo kwakubonisa inkxalabo awayenayo ngabo okanye ukuze aqalise umsebenzi wakhe kubantu beeNtlanga wayeqala ngamaYuda nabanye abantu aboyika uThixo.—IZenzo 17:2-4.

Ngoko, xa wayefika eTesalonika, uPawulos waqala waya kwindlu yesikhungo, apho “waqiqa [namaYuda] ngeZibhalo, ecacisa yaye engqina ngeembekiselo ukuba kwakuyimfuneko ngoKristu ukubandezeleka nokuvuka kwabafileyo, kwaye esithi: ‘Nguye lowo uKristu, lo Yesu ndimvakalisa kuni.’”—IZenzo 17:2, 3, 10.

Umba uPawulos awawubalaselisayo—indima kaMesiya nokuba wayengubani—wawutshis’ ibunzi. Ukubandezeleka kukaMesiya kwakungqubana nenkolelo yamaYuda yokuba uMesiya oligorha uza kuwahlangula kulawulo lwamaRoma. Ukuze aweyisele amaYuda, uPawulos “waqiqa,” ‘wacacisa,’ ‘wangqina ngeembekiselo’ esalatha eZibhalweni—ubuchule bomfundisi ophum’ izandla.a Kodwa basabela njani abaphulaphuli bakaPawulos njengoko wayebafundisa ezi zinto zimnandi?
