USTEFANI waqalana namadoda anelaka. ISanhedrini njengombana beyinabahluleli abamalunga wekhotho ephakemeko yakwa-Israyeli beyinabahluleli abama-71. Bebamajaji aphuma phambili esitjhabeni. Bebahlangene kwaKhayafasi umPhristi omKhulu obekangamele ikhotho eenyangeni ezingaphambi kokubulawa kwakaJesu. (Mat. 26:57, 59; IzE. 6:8-12) Bathi nabasaphosa uStefani ngomlando omamala njalo babona into erarako ngoStefani, kazi ubuso bakhe “bebunjengobuso bengilozi.”—IzE. 6:13-15.

Alo uStefani wahlala njani anommoya ophasi ngesikhathi esibudisi ngalendlela? Ngaphambi kokuthi bamlethe eSanhedrini bekaphasi phezulu nomsebenzi kaZimu begodu siyazi bona ummoya kaZimu gade unaye. (IzE. 6:3-7) Yeke ngitjho nalokha nakalingwako ummoya kaZimu bewusolo unaye, umduduza begodu umkhumbuza izinto ebekufuze azikhumbule. (Jwa. 14:16) Njengombana uStefani bekazivikela nje bekanesibindi begodu ummoya ocwengileko wamkhumbuza imiTlolo engaba ma-20 namkha engaphezu kwaleyo. Indaba kaStefani le itlolwe encwadini yezEnzo isahluko se-7. (Jwa. 14:26) UStefani wabuye waqiniswa mbono awubonako, wabona uJesu ajame ngesandleni sokudla sakaZimu.—IzE. 7:54-56, 59, 60.

Nathi ngelinye ilanga singazifumana sigandelelwa begodu sitlhoriswa. (Jwa. 15:20) Yeke nasenza imisebenzi kaZimu njengokuya esimini nokufunda iliZwi lakhe qobe, sisuke sivumela ummoyakhe usisebenzise. Sizokukghona nokuqina nakuvela ukutjhutjhiswa begodu ngesikhathi esifanako sibe nokuthula.—1 Pit. 4:12-14.
