As they stood in market places and synagogues speaking about this man Jesus of Nazareth, their story could have sounded bizarre - a carpenter from Israel who was perfect, who died and was then resurrected in accurate fulfilment of Old Testament prophecy, and who was now asking them to be baptized and follow His example.
Kama walivyosimama maeneo ya sokoni na katika masinagogi wakinena kuhusu mtu huyu Yesu wa Nazareti, masimulizi yao yangeonekana ya ovyo -Juu ya seremala toka Israeli aliyekuwa mkamilifu, aliyekufa kisha kufufuliwa kwa utimilifu barabara Agano la kale lilivyotabiri, ambaye sasa alikuwa anawataka wabatizwe na kufuata mfano wake.
