22 Yudafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛhe na ɔrekɔ a ɔse ‘obi rentumi nkɔ hɔ bi no?’ Gyama ɔrekɔkum ne ho?”

23 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo deɛ, mofiri asase so ha, nanso me deɛ, mefiri ɔsoro na mebaeɛ. Mo deɛ, mofiri ewiase, nanso me deɛ, memfiri ewiase, 24 Ɛno enti na meka kyerɛ mo sɛ mobɛwu wɔ mo bɔne mu no. Na sɛ moannye anni sɛ, mene deɛ mene a, mobɛwu wɔ mo bɔne mu.”

34 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ obiara a ɔyɛ bɔne no yɛ bɔne akoa. 35 Akoa biara nni kyɛfa wɔ abusua mu nanso ɔba deɛ, daa ɔwɔ kyɛfa wɔ abusua mu. 36 Ɛno enti, sɛ ɔba no ma mode mo ho a, mobɛde mo ho ampa. 37 Megye tom sɛ moyɛ Abraham asefoɔ nanso morehwehwɛ me akum me, ɛfiri sɛ, monni ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so. 38 Deɛ mʼAgya ayi akyerɛ me no na meka ho asɛm, na mo deɛ, deɛ mo agya aka akyerɛ mo no na modi so.”

39 Nnipa no kaa sɛ, “Yɛn agya ne Abraham.”

Nnipa no sane kaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn nko ara ne Agya a yɛwɔ na yɛyɛ ne mma ankasa.”

42 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ mo Agya ampa ara a anka mobɛdɔ me, ɛfiri sɛ, ne nkyɛn na mefiri baeɛ na mewɔ ha.

48 Yudafoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Sɛ yɛka sɛ woyɛ Samariani a honhommɔne ahyɛ wo ma a, na yɛboa anaa?”

49 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Menni honhommɔne. Medi mʼAgya ni na mo deɛ monni no ni. 50 Memmpere nhwehwɛ animuonyam mma mʼankasa me ho. Obi wɔ hɔ a ɔhwehwɛ ma me na ɔno nso na ɔdi ma me. 51 Meka nokorɛ pefee kyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔdi mʼasɛm so no renwu da.”

52 Yudafoɔ no nso ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Afei na yɛahunu ampa ara sɛ wowɔ honhommɔne! Abraham wuiɛ. Adiyifoɔ no nso wuwuiɛ. Nanso, wo deɛ woka sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔdi mʼasɛm so no renwu da.’ 53 Woyɛ kɛse sene yɛn agya Abraham anaa? Ɔwuiɛ; saa ara nso na adiyifoɔ no wuwuiɛ. Wosusu sɛ woyɛ hwan?”

54 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ mʼankasa mehyɛ me ho animuonyam a, mʼanimuonyam no nka hwee. MʼAgya a mo nso moka sɛ ɔyɛ mo Onyankopɔn no, ɔno na ɔhyɛ me animuonyam. 55 Mo deɛ, monnim no, nanso me deɛ, menim no. Sɛ meka sɛ mennim no a na meyɛ ɔtorofoɔ sɛ mo ara.

57 Yudafoɔ no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Wonnii mfeɛ aduonum koraa na ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wohunuu Abraham?”

58 Yesu buaa sɛ, “Mereka nokorɛ pefee akyerɛ mo sɛ, ansa na wɔrebɛwo Abraham no, na mete ase.” 59 Yudafoɔ no tasee aboɔ sɛ anka wɔde rebɛsi no, nanso Yesu kɔhintaeɛ. Yei akyi no, ɔfirii asɔredan no mu hɔ kɔeɛ.
