Ahejeje gukiza wa mugabo amugaye, Yezu amara igihe gitoyi mu karere k’i Kaperinawumu iruhande y’Ikiyaga c’i Galilaya. Abantu barongera kuza kuri we, na we agatangura kubigisha. Igihe ariko aragendagenda, abona Matayo yitwa kandi Lewi, yicaye aho batoreza ikori. Yezu amuha ubutumire bwiza igitangaza ati: “Nkurikira.”​—Matayo 9:9.

Nka kumwe kwa Petero, Andereya, Yakobo na Yohani, bisa n’uko Matayo amaze kwumva inyigisho za Yezu n’ibikorwa yakoreye muri ako karere. Matayo na we nyene aca amukurikira adatebaganye. Matayo arigana iyo nkuru mu Njili yiwe, ati: ‘Aca arahaguruka [ni ukuvuga Matayo nyene] akurikira Yezu.’ (Matayo 9:9) Matayo aca aheba igikorwa ciwe co gutoza ikori akaba umwigishwa wa Yezu.

Mu nyuma, Matayo arategura inzimano ikomeye ku rugo rwiwe, kumbure kugira akengurukire Yezu kuri iryo teka ridasanzwe yamuteye. None uretse Yezu n’abigishwa biwe, ni bande Matayo atumira? Aratumira abatozakori batari bake bahoze bakorana. Batoza amakori y’abategetsi b’Uburoma, aho hakaba harimwo ikori ritozwa ku mato yinjira mu kivuko, ku bidandazwa bica mu mabarabara makurumakuru hamwe n’ivyinjira mu gihugu. None Abayuda babona gute abo batozakori? Abanyagihugu barabanka kubera babaca amaboko mu kubaka ikori rirenze irisabwa. Kuri urwo rubanza hariho n’‘abacumuzi,’ ni ukuvuga abantu bizwi ko baza barakora ibicumuro.​—Luka 7:37-39.

Bitegereje Yezu ari kumwe n’abo bantu kuri urwo rubanza, ba Bafarizayo bibona ubugororotsi babaza abigishwa biwe bati: “Kubera iki umwigisha wanyu asangira n’abatozakori be n’abacumuzi?” (Matayo 9:11) Yezu avyumvise yishura ati: “Abafise amagara meza ntibakenera umuganga, ahubwo abarwaye ni bo bamukenera. Nimugende rero mwige ico ibi bisobanura ngo: ‘Ico nshaka ni imbabazi, si ibimazi.’ Kuko ntaje guhamagara abagororotsi, ahubwo naje guhamagara abacumuzi.” (Matayo 9:12, 13; Hoseya 6:6) Naho abo Bafarizayo bita Yezu ngo ni “umwigisha,” ntibabigira bivuye ku mutima. Naho ari ukwo, Yezu arashobora kubigisha ico ari co ubugororotsi.

Biboneka ko Matayo yatumiye abatozakori n’abacumuzi mu rugo iwe kugira bumvirize Yezu maze bakire mu buryo bw’impwemu, narirya ‘bariko bamukurikira ari benshi.’ (Mariko 2:15) Yezu ashaka kubafasha kugiranira ubucuti bwiza n’Imana. Yezu ntabakengera nk’abo Bafarizayo bibona ubugororotsi. Arabumvira impuhwe n’ikigongwe. Arashobora kuvura abo bose bagoyagoya mu kwizera.

Ico kigongwe Yezu yumvira abatozakori n’abacumuzi si ukwirengagiza ibicumuro vyabo, ahubwo ni ukubereka ikibabarwe nka kimwe yagirira abantu barwaye ku mubiri. Ibuka nk’akarorero igihe yakora ku munyamibembe abigiranye impuhwe, akamubwira ati: “Ndabishaka. Humanuka.” (Matayo 8:3) None tweho ntidukwiye kugira impuhwe nk’izo tukongera tugafasha abari mu ngorane, canecane mu kubafasha kugiranira ubucuti bwiza n’Imana?
