ndipo “khamu la anthulo linakhudzidwa moti linada-bwa ndi kaphunzitsidwe kake.” (Mateyu 5:1, 2; 7:28)M’caka ca 33 C.E.,Yesu anakamba ndi ophunzila akeawili pamene anali kuyenda pa njila yopita kumudziwina pafupi ndi Yelusalemu, ndipo ‘anawafotokozelaMalemba momveka bwino.’—Luka 24:13-15, 27, 32.Ophunzila a Yesu analinso alangizi a Mau a Mulu-
