Jesus had promised that He would build His church (Matthew 16:18), and with the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), the church—ekklesia (the “called-out assembly”)—officially began.
Yesu aliahidi kwamba angelijenga kanisa lake (Mathayo 16:18), na kwa ujio wa Roho Mtakatifu siku ya Pentekoste (Matendo 2:1-4), kanisa - ekklesia ("kuitwa toka kwa mkusanyiko") – ilianza rasmi.
