Ruka 7:7-9

koia tē tae ai tōku aro ki te haere atu ki a koe. Engari kia puaki mai tāu kupu, ā, ka ora tāku pononga. He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hōia anō āku hei whakahaunga māku, nā, ka mea ahau ki tēnei, ‘Haere,’ ā, ka haere; ki tētahi atu hoki, ‘Haere mai,’ ā, ka haere mai; ki tāku pononga anō hoki, ‘Meatia tēnei,’ ā, ka meatia e ia.” Ā, i te rongonga o Īhu ki ēnei mea, ka mīharo ki a ia, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te mano e aru ana i a ia, “Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, kāhore anō ahau i kite i te whakapono hei rite mō tēnei te nui, ahakoa i roto i a Īharaira.”
