John 15:5

Utangulizi: Kaa maana yake nini kweli kweli? Meno (μένω) — neno la Kigiriki linalotafsiriwa “kaa” au “baki” katika Yohana 15:1–10 — linamaanisha tu kubaki. Kushikilia mahali pako katika uhusiano. Kutokwenda. Yesu anatumia picha ya tawi linaloungana na mzabibu: bila muunganiko huo, tawi haliwezi kuzaa matunda. Yesu anatukaribisha kubaki tukiunganika — na kuwa katika mstari na anachofanya katika kila kipindi. Hebu tuone jinsi Marta wa Bethania anavyojifunza kukaa.
