Those of you facing this temptation need to ask yourselves whether you have definite proof of their power - e.g. have you seen (not just heard about) a man with his arm sawn off in a saw mill go to a witch and return with a new arm working perfectly? This is the kind of evidence we need before we can give them any credibility at all. Deut.13:1-3 is even more powerful: Israel were taught that if a witch did a sign or wonder which appeared to be a miracle, they were still not to believe that person unless they spoke true doctrine according to God's word.
Ninyi kati yenu mnaokabiliana na majaribu haya mnatakiwa mjiulize wenyewe ikiwa mnaushahidi bayana wa uweza wao - k.m. umewahi kuona (hujawai kusikia kuhusu) mtu aliyekatwa mkono na msumeno amekwenda kwa mchawi na kurudi na mkono mwingine unaofanya kazi sawa sawa?. Huu ni aina ya ushahidi tunaouhitaji kabla ya kuwapa lolote la kuwasadikisha kabisa. K/Torati 13: 1-3 ni lenye nguvu sana: Israeli waliambiwa kwamba kama mchawi akitoa ishara au ajabu ambayo inaonekana kuwa muujiza, hawakutakiwa bado kumwamini mtu huyo isipokuwa wakinena mafundisho ya kweli kama yaliyodhihirika ndani ya Biblia.
