Ko e ʻuhinga ʻe taha ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fakamamafaʻi ai ʻa e kolosí ko ha fakaʻilongá, ʻoku tupu ia mei hotau tupuʻanga he tohi tapú. Koeʻuhí ko e tutukí ko e taha ia e ʻū tautea mate fakamamahi taha ʻo e Puleʻanga Lomá, naʻe fili ai ha kau ʻuluaki muimui tokolahi ʻo Sīsū ke ʻoua te nau fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e meʻangāue fakamamahi ko ia ʻo e faingataʻaʻiá. Ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻi he uhouhonga ʻo ʻenau tuí ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e pekia ʻa Kalaisí, ka ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 300 nai, naʻa nau feinga pē ke talaki honau tuʻunga he ongoongoleleí ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehe. …

ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻeni ki he ngaahi mafasia ʻoku tau fuesiá kae ʻikai ko e fakaʻilonga fakatuʻasino ʻoku tau tuí. Ke hoko ko ha muimui ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, kuo pau ke te fuesia ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ha kavenga—ʻaʻau pē, pe ko ha taha kehe—pea ʻalu ki he potu ʻoku fiemaʻu ai e feilaulaú pea ʻoku pau ke foua ai ʻa e faingataʻaʻiá. Ko e Kalisitiane moʻoní he ʻikai ke lava ia ʻo fili ke muimui pē ki he ʻEikí ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ē ʻoku loto ki aí. ʻIkai. ʻOku tau muimui kiate Ia ʻi he potu kotoa, kau ai, ʻo ka fiemaʻu, ʻi he ngaahi taimi ʻoku fakatupu tangi mo fonu palopalema aí, ʻa ia ko e taimi ʻe niʻihi te tau ala tuʻu toko taha pē.
