After the parting Jesus further tested his chosen ones to confirm their call and said, "Do you also want to leave me?" With this question he constrained his disciples to decide their future course. In this way he asks you and your friends in anxious times and hours of persecution, do you wish to leave him or to stick by him? Which is more vital, traditions, emotions, logic or material security on the one hand, or your relation with Jesus?
- Kwa njia hii Yesu anakuuliza na wewe na rafiki zako, je, wakati wa hofu au saa za mateso, utataka kumwacha au utanang’ania kwake? Mambo gani kwako ni muhimu zaidi: mapokeo, shauku za kujisikia furaha, elimu ya juu au usalama kwa ajili ya mali, hayo yote kwa upande moja, au upande wa pili uhusiano kamili na Bwana Yesu?
