Dza ɔtse dɛm sii Jesus n’esuafo do wɔ No honandua somdwuma mu. Mark nwoma mu no yɛkenkan dɛ Jesus “hyɛɛ ase bio kyerɛkyerɛe wɔ mpoano: na nyimpadodow pii behyiaa ne nkyɛn.’’1 Nna wɔdɔɔ sõ ara ma dɛm ntsi Jesus “kɔr hɛn mu kɛtsenaa ase wɔ po enyi’’2 na ɔkasae fi hɛmba no mu hɔ.

Onyaa beebi wɔ hɛn n’ekyir no, Jesus tɔɔ hɔ na ntsɛm ara Ɔdae. Annkyɛr “na mframa kɛse bɔɔ huu, na asorɛkye bui bɔhwee hɛn no mu, na nsu [tɔtɔɔtɔ]’’4 yɛɛ no mã.
Nna Jesus n’esuafo mu dodow yɛ enufo a wɔawea na wonyim mbrɛ wosi wosuo hɛn mu wɔ ehum mu. Nokwar—nna wɔyɛ N’esuafo—adɔfo a Ɔwɔ gyedzi wɔ hɔn mu.

“Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɔnnyɛ wo asɛm dɛ yɛrehera?’’5
“Owura, gye hɛn: yɛrehera.’’6
Wɔfrɛɛ No “Owura,’’ na Ɔyɛ so. Ɔsan so yɛ “Jesus Christ, Nyame ne Ba, sor nye asaase Egya, adze nyina a ofi ahyɛse Bɔadze.’’7
Fi Ne gyinabew wɔ hɛn no mu no, Jesus nyanee na ɔbraa mframa no na ɔsee nsu no ne gyakagyaka no, dɛ, “Taa, dzinn. Na mframa no [gyae bɔ], na hɔ taa dzinn.’’8 Daapem Owura Kyerɛkyerɛfo no, afei Jesus nam nsɛmbisa ebien a ɔnnyɛ dzen naaso ɔyɛ ahomka do kyerɛkyerɛɛ N’esuafo no. Obisaa dɛ:

“Hom gyedzi wɔ hen?”10

Nokwar ara, wiadze Agyenkwa no tse hɛn honandua akwansiwdze ase, osiandɛ Ɔkyerɛkyerɛ hɛn mbrɛ yebesi benya asomdwee na abotɔyamu mpo mber a mframa bɔ dzendzen twa hɛnho na asorɛkye akɛse hunahuna dɛ ɔbɛmen hɛn enyidado.

Wiadze mu dze, hom wɔ ahohia: naaso hom nhyɛ dzen; medzi wiadze do konyim.”19
Mutum hu ma Jesus n’esuafo a wɔwɔ hɛn a ehum dze no ridzi akɔnaaba, ɔayɛ ehiadze ntsi, wɔrohwɛ asorɛkye a orubu fado kɔ hɔn hɛn no do na wɔresesaw nsu no fi hɛn no mu tse.

Elder Neal A.

President Russell M. Nelson akyerɛkyerɛ dɛ:
“Onnhia dɛ yɛbɛma suro ahyɛ hɛn gyedzi ananmu. Yebotum nye suro no edzi esi ber a yɛrehyɛ hɛn gyedzi dzen.
“Nye wo mba nhyɛ ase. … Ma wɔntse wo gyedzi nkã, mpo ber a nsɔhwɛ ba wo do no. Ma wo gyedzi ntsim wɔ hɛn Ɔsor Egya dɔfo na No Dɔba, Ewuradze Jesus Christ mu.

Abofra a odzi kan no kãa dɛ, “Minyim dɛ Jesus dɔ me osiandɛ Owui ma me. Ɔsan so dɔ mpanyimfo.’’ Abofra a otsĩa ebien no kãa dɛ, “Sɛ mo werɛhow anaa mubofuw a, Ɔboa me. Sɛ morodɔ so a, Ɔboa me.
Jesus paa mu kãa dɛ, “Dɛm ntsi, obiara a obonu noho na ɔayɛ dɛ abofra na ɔaba me hɔ no, ɔno na mebɛgye no, na iyinom dɛm na Nyankopɔn n’ahenman no sɛ hɔn.’’24
“Na mbrɛ Nyankopɔn dɔɔ wiadze nye yi, dɛ ɔdze ne Ba a ɔwoo no kor no mae, ama obiara a ɔgye no dzi no ɔaannhera, na oeenya onyiewiei nkwa.’’25
