[20] Nkurɔfokuw no buae sɛ: Wowɔ honhommɔne; hena na ɔhwehwɛ wo akum wo?
[21] Yesu bua see wɔn sɛ: Mayɛ adwuma biako, na eyi nti na ɛyɛ mo nyinaa nwonwa.
[22] Mose maa mo twetiatwa, (ɛnyɛ sɛ efi Mose, na efi agyanom) nanso homeda mutwa onipa twetia.

[34] Mobɛhwehwɛ me, na morenhu me; na nea mewɔ no, mo de, muntumi mma hɔ.
