23 Vimilitsi hovavaga kusinda kumuvamba Yesu, vakategulaje myenda jake, vakagavasaje filundo fitayi, chilundo chimwe kwa chila mwimilitsi. Vakategulaje kaha na kantsu yake, kantsu iyo yavaga siyilahonwa, ila yavaga yifumilwe kuhuma kilanga mbaka hasi. 24 Ihyo iwo vimilitsi vakilonjelaje vene kwa vene kuta, "Tuleche kuyidemulasa lechelelo tuyitovele kula, kuta yive ya nani." Lulongwa ulu lwahumye ili Mandiko ga Mulungu gakwile goganlonga kuta,

"Vagavise myenda jangu, na mwenda gwangu vagutovye kula."

Ihyo fyo vadisile vala vimilitsi.
