⁹ Sɛɛ mli yɛ Getsemane abɔɔ lɛ mli lɛ, ehe bahia ni ajaje Petro fe shi kome. Yesu kɛɛ Petro, Yakobo kɛ Yohane koni amɛshi kpe beni esɔleɔ lɛ. No mli lɛ, Yesu eyaje jaramɔ shihilɛ mli, ni eetao ni aye abua lɛ, shi wɔ sɔŋŋ Petro kɛ mɛi krokomɛi lɛ wɔɔ.

(Mat. 26:47-55; Luka 22:47-51; Yoh. 18:10, 11) Petro efee nibii pii momo ni he bahia koni e-Nuŋtsɔ lɛ kɛfa lɛ. Petro sane nɛɛ haa wɔnaa akɛ wɔ fɛɛ wɔtɔ̃ɔ babaoo. (Nyɛkanea Yakobo 3:2.)
