Prior to this, Jesus was calling the people in general; sadly, the text, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not" was confirmed in them. So was Jesus failing?
Kabla ya hapo, Yesu alikuwa anawaita watu kwa jumla; tukisoma kwa kusikitika maneno hayo, “Nuru yaling’aa gizani, wala giza halikuiweza.” Maneno hayo yalithibitika kwao. Je, basi, Yesu alishindwa?
