The change was so enormous that at first even Jesus’ disciples found it difficult to leave the old behind. Simon Peter was corrected several times, both directly by Jesus (Acts 10 and 11) and by Paul (Galatians 2), because he was seduced back to the old covenant in the face of which Jesus had already accomplished at the cross.
Mabadiliko yalikuwa kubwa kuliko kiasi mwanzoni kwamba hata wafauzi wa Yesu walipata ni ngumu kuacha ya kale nyuma. Simoni Petero alisahihishwa mara mingi, Mara mbili wazi na Yesu (Matendo 10 na 11) na pia Paulo (Wakalatia 2) maana alivutwa nyuma na agano la kale katika uso wa yale Yesu tayari alikuwa ametimiza kwa msalaba.
