3, 4. (a) Sathane wacalisa tilingo takhe letimbili tekucala ngemavi latsini, futsi kungenteka bekafuna kutsi Jesu angabate ini? (b) Sathane uwasebentisa kanjani emachinga lafanako lamuhla?

³ Fundza Matewu 4:1-7. Sathane uveta tilingo tekucala letimbili ngendlela lebhacile asebentisa emavi latsi, “nangabe uyindvodzana yaNkulunkulu.” Sathane bekakungabata yini vele kutsi Jesu uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu? Cha. Lengilosi yaNkulunkulu leyawa, beyati kahle kamhlophe kutsi Jesu uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu lelitibulo. (Khol. 1:15) Asingabati nekutsi Sathane abewati emavi Jehova lawasho kuJesu ngesikhatsi abhajatiswa latsi: “Lena yiNdvodzana yami letsandzekako, ngiyemukele.” (Mat. 3:17) Kungenteka Sathane abefuna Jesu angabate Babe wakhe futsi angasametsembi kutsi utawukhona mbamba kumnakekela. Kulesilingo sekucala sekutsi Sathane atsi kuJesu akashintje ematje abe sinkhwa, bekufana nekutsi utsi: ‘Njengobe uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, kungani Babe wakho angakuniki kudla kulelihlane leliligwadvule?’ Kulesilingo sesibili sekutsi Sathane atsi kuJesu akatijike phansi asuka esicongweni selithempeli, bekufana nekutsi utsi: ‘Njengobe uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu, umetsemba mbamba yini Babe wakho kutsi angakuvikela?’

5. Jesu wenta njani kuletilingo letimbili tekucala?

⁵ Cabanga ngendlela Jesu laphendvula ngayo kuletilingo letimbili tekucala. Abengangabati kutsi Babe wakhe uyamtsandza, futsi abemetsemba kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwekungabata, Jesu wamelana naSathane ngekutsi acaphune emaVi aBabe wakhe laphefumulelwe. Jesu wacaphuna imibhalo lebeyineligama laNkulunkulu, Jehova. (Dut. 6:16; 8:3) Lena yindlela lehamba embili lekhombisa kutsi iNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu iyametsemba Babe wayo, ngekutsi isebentise ligama lakhe—leli ligama lelikhetsekile lelikhombisa kutsi Jehova utatigcwalisa tetsembiso takhe.a
