4Make una stay for any house wey una enter until una komot for dat aria.

5Anywhere wey dem nor welkom una, make una shake di san from una leg as una dey komot and dis go bi witness against dem.”

6Di disciples kon travel go all di village dem, dey prish di Good News and heal pipol for evriwhere.

7Wen Herod wey bi ruler hear about evritin wey dey happen, e konfuse, bikos some pipol sey John don wake-up from deat

8and odas sey Elijah don appear, some still sey one old profet don wake-up.

9Herod kon sey, “I orda make dem kut John head komot, but who bi dis one wey I dey hear all dis tins about so?” Bikos of dat, Herod kon try to find out more about Jesus.

10Wen di apostles kom back, dem tell Jesus evritin wey dem don do. Den Jesus take only dem follow body go Betsaida.

11But wen pipol know, dem kon follow Jesus and en disciples go der. E welkom dem, den tell dem about God Kingdom and e heal doz wey nor well.

12Wen day don dey dark, di disciples kon tell Jesus, “Tell dis pipol make dem go, so dat dem go-go di village and farm wey near dis aria go fine food chop kon sleep for der, bikos dis place na wildaness.”

13But Jesus ansa, “Make una give dem food chop.” Dem kon sey, “Na only five bread and two fish wi get, unless yu wont sey make wi go buy food for all of dem.”

14(Di men wey dey der alone rish 5,000). Jesus tell en disciples, “Tell di pipol make dem sidan fifty-fifty.”

15Di disciples do as Jesus tok and all di pipol kon sidan.

16Den Jesus take di five bread and two fish, e look heaven, tank God, den e kon divide dem. E give di bread and fish to en disciples, make dem share am for di pipol.

17Evribody chop beleful and wen dem gada di food wey remain, e full twelf basket.

18As Jesus dey pray alone and en disciples dey near am, e kon ask dem, “Na who pipol dey tok sey I bi?”

19Dem ansa, “Some sey yu bi John di Baptist, odas sey yu bi Elijah and odas still sey yu bi one old profet wey wake-up from deat.”

20Den Jesus ask dem, “But who una tok sey I bi?” Pita kon ansa, “Yu bi di Mezaya wey God send.”

21But Jesus warn dem well-well sey make dem nor tell anybody about am.

22Den Jesus tell dem, “God Pikin go sofa many tins: di eldas, di priest oga dem and di law tishas go rijet am, dem go kill-am and afta three days, God go wake am up.”

23So Jesus tell all of dem, “If pesin won follow mi, e must forget ensef, karry en cross evriday, dey follow mi.

24Bikos anybody wey won save en life, go luz am and anybody wey luz en life bikos of mi, go save am.

25Wetin pesin go gain if e get di whole world, but e luz en soul?

26Anybody wey dey shame for mi and my word, Man Pikin go shame for am wen e go kom back for en glory and di glory wey en Papa and di angels get.

27But I tell una true word, some pipol wey stand for here nor go die, before dem go si God Kingdom.”

28One week afta Jesus tok all dis tins, e kon take Pita, John and James go on-top one mountin go pray.

29As e dey pray, en face shange and en klot kon dey shine like lite.

30At wons, Moses and Elijah kon dey tok with am.

31As dem appear with glory, dem kon tell Jesus how e go sofa and die for Jerusalem, as dem rite for God word.

32Pita and di odas wey dey with am dey sleep before, but at wons sleep komot from dia eye and dem si Jesus glory and di two men wey stand with am.

33Den as Moses and Elijah won go, Pita kon tell Jesus, “Oga God, e good make wi stay here. Make wi build three tent, one for yu, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (Pita nor even know wetin e dey tok.)

34As e still dey tok, one kind kloud surround dem, fear kon katch di disciples, as Moses and Elijah enter di kloud.

35One vois from di kloud kon sey, “Dis na my pikin wey I choose. Make una listin to am!”

36Afta di vois don tok finish, Jesus kon dey alone for di place, but di disciples kwayet and dem nor tell anybody wetin dem si.

37Di next day wen dem kom down from di mountin, many pipol kom meet Jesus.

38Den one man among di pipol kry kom, “Tisha, Abeg yu, si my pikin, na-im bi di only boy wey I get!

39Evil spirit dey worry am and e dey make am shaut. Di spirit dey shake am and foam dey komot for en mout. Di spirit nor gri leave am and e dey trobol am well-well.

40Abeg yor disciples make dem drive di demon komot, but dem nor fit.”

41Jesus kon tell dem, “Una wey dey do bad tins and nor gri bilive, how long I go stay with una?” Den e tell di man, “Bring yor pikin kom here.”

42As di boy dey kom, di demon trow am for groun, e start to dey shake and foam kon dey komot from en mout. Den Jesus kommand di demon make e komot and e heal di boy, kon gi-am to en papa.

43Den evribody wey dey der kon sopraiz as dem si God pawa. But as di pipol still dey sopraiz, Jesus kon tell en disciples,

44“Make una nor forget wetin I won tell una, dem go sell God Pikin give human being.”

45But dem nor undastand dis word, bikos God hide am from dem make dem for nor know wetin di word mean. Di disciples demsef dey fear to ask Jesus about di matter.

46Di disciples kon dey ask demsef, “Who big pass among us for God Kingdom?”

47Wen Jesus know wetin dem dey tok, e bring one small pikin near am

48kon tell dem, “Anybody wey welkom dis small pikin bikos of mi, don welkom mi and anybody wey welkom mi, don welkom God wey send mi, bikos di pesin wey small pass among una, na-im big pass for God Kingdom.”

49John tell Jesus, “Oga God, wi si one man dey drive demon with yor name and wi tell am make e stop, bikos e nor dey with us.”

50Jesus kon ansa am, “Nor stop am, bikos anybody wey nor dey against us, dey awa side.”

51Wen di time wey God go take Jesus go heaven don near, Jesus tink for en mind sey, e go-go Jerusalem.

52E kon send messenjas go for front and dem enter one village for Samaria go prepare evritin before e go rish der,

53but di villagers nor gri welkom am, bikos dem si sey, e won go Jerusalem.

54Wen James and John si wetin happen, dem kon sey, “Oga God, yu wont make wi koll fire down from heaven kon kill dis pipol?”

55But Jesus turn warn dem,

56den en and dem kon go anoda village.

57As Jesus dey go for road, one man kon tell am, “I won follow yu go anywhere wey yu dey go.”

58Jesus kon tell am, “Rabbits get whole, birds get nest, but Man Pikin nor get anywhere to put en head!”

59Jesus kon tell anoda man, “Make yu follow mi,” but dat one sey, “Oga God, make I first go beri my papa.”

60Jesus kon tell am, “Make doz wey don die, beri who don die. But make yu go prish about God Kingdom.”

61Anoda pesin kon sey, “Oga God! I go like to follow yu, but make I first go tell my family bye-bye.”

62Jesus tell am, “Pesin wey put hand for dis work, den e kon dey look back, nor get part for God Kingdom.”
