17 Nā, ka whakahoki tētahi i roto i te mano, ka mea, "E te Kaiwhakaako, i kawea mai e ahau tāku tama ki a koe, he wairua reokore tōna.
22 He maha āna turakanga i a ia ki te kāpura, ki te wai, kia ngaro ai: otirā ki te taea e koe te aha rānei, arohaina māua, kia puta tōu whakaaro ki a māua."
23 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te taea e koe te whakapono, ka taea ngā mea katoa e te tangata whakapono."
24 Nā, karanga tonu mai te matua o te tama, ka mea, "E whakapono ana ahau, e te Ariki; kia puta tōu whakaaro ki tōku whakapono kore."
