I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

And a large crowd from the town was with her.

Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

31. 31BKWYezu eebaazɛke náá: «Mɛ gek bot ɛ mɛlu mak nɛ bɛzɛ? Bɛ baakɔa nɛ zɛ é?BSBBSB: “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

40. 40BKWYezu eezɛke nɛ mot Falizyɛ yenɔk náá: «Simɔŋ, mɛ ɛ́ nɛ sa wat mɛ di kwyɛl ɛlɛɛ wɔ.» Simɔŋ eezɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «Bela, liia lyoel.»BSBBSB: But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
