Naʻe kamata ʻe Maʻake ʻene Kosipelí ʻaki e fakamatala kia Sione Papitaisó. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻAposetolo ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa Maʻake ʻo hangē ko Mātiu pe ko Sioné, ka ko ha papi ului ia kimui ange.

ʻEkitivitī A: Faʻu Tohinoa

Fakakaukau pea lekooti ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ha ngaahi aʻusia kuo nau tokoniʻi koe ke ke tali mo muimui ki he Fakamoʻuí.

Hangē ko ʻení,ʻe lava ke ke ako ʻa e ngaahi sīpinga ako ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná hangē ko e ʻĪnosi 1:2–8 ; Mōsaia 5:1–2, 5 ; ʻAlamā 22:17–18, 22–23 ; pe Hilamani 5:28–30, 40–42 .

Ko hai ʻa Maʻake?

Naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Maʻake (naʻe ui foki ko Sione Maʻake) ʻi he kau fuofua ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ka naʻá ne ului kimui ange mo ngāue vāofi mo e tokolahi ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOku lave ʻa Pita ki ai ko “Maʻake ko hoku foha” ( 1 Pita 5:13), ‘o mahino mai ai hona vā fetuʻutaki vāofí. ʻOku ngalingali naʻe hiki ʻe Maʻake ʻene Kosipeli nounoú ki he kakai Lomá, ngaahi puleʻanga senitaile kehé, mo e kau ului foʻou ki he tui faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻe ngāue foki ʻa Maʻake mo Paula ʻi ha vahaʻataimi ʻi he fuofua fononga fakafaifekau ʻa Paulá (vakai, Ngāue 12:25).

Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku makehe ai ʻa e tohi ʻa Maʻaké?

ʻOku kamata fakafokifā mo mālie ʻa e Kosipeli ʻa Maʻaké pea hokohoko toʻotoʻo konga lalahi ai pē ʻi hono fakamatalaʻi vave e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hokó.

Māʻake 1:8 . Ko e hā ʻa e papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní?

Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sione Papitaiso te ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e vai ka ko Sīsū te ne “papitaiso … ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní” ( Maʻake 1:8). ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e papitaiso ko ʻeni ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mo e afí ki he ola ʻo e hilifakinima hili ʻa e papitaisó, pea maʻu ʻa e takaua ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku fakamaʻa mo fakahaohaoaʻi leva kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi fakamaʻa mo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻo e afí.

Mātiu 3:7 . Ko hai ʻa e kau Fālesí mo e kau Sātusí?

Ko e kau Fālesí ko ha kau mēmipa kinautolu ʻo ha kulupu fakalotu ʻo e kau Siú naʻa nau pōlepole ʻi hono tauhi pau ʻa e fono ʻa Mōsesé. Naʻa nau faʻa holoki ʻa e tui fakalotú ke fakatefito ʻi hono tauhi ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga ʻulungaanga kehekehe.

Ko e “ī” ʻoku ʻuhinga ki ai ʻi he Mātiu 3:12 ko ha ī sivi mo tapili naʻe faʻa ngāue ʻaki ke puhiʻi e uité ki he ʻeá. … ʻE ngangana ʻa e uité ki he kelekelé kae puhiʻi ʻa e kafukafú naʻe maʻamaʻa angé ke mamaʻo.
