23Jesu akapindura akati, “Nguva yasvika yokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akudzwe. 24Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kana tsanga yegorosi ikasawira muvhu ikafa, inongoramba ichingova yoga. Asi kana ikafa, inobereka mbeu dzakawanda. 25Munhu anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi munhu anovenga upenyu hwake munyika ino achahuchengetera upenyu husingaperi. 26Ani naani anondishandira anofanira kunditevera; uye pandinenge ndiri, muranda wangu achavapowo ipapo. Baba vangu vachakudza munhu uyo anondishandira.

27“Zvino mwoyo wangu uri kurwadziwa, uye ndichati kudiniko? ‘Baba, ndiponesei kubva panguva ino?’ Kwete, ndizvo zvandakauyira panguva ino. 28Baba, kudzai zita renyu!”

30Jesu akati, “Inzwi iri harina kuuya nokuda kwangu, asi nokuda kwenyu. 31Zvino ndiyo nguva yokutongwa kwenyika ino; zvino muchinda wenyika ino achadzingwa. 32Asi ini, pandinenge ndasimudzwa kubva panyika ino, ndichakwevera vanhu vose kwandiri.” 33Akareva izvi kuti aratidze mafiro aaizoita.

34Vanhu vazhinji vakati, “Isu takanzwa kubva paMurayiro kuti Kristu achagara nokusingaperi, saka sei muchiti, ‘Mwanakomana anofanira kusimudzwa’? Ndianiko uyu ‘Mwanakomana woMunhu’?”

35Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Muchava nechiedza kwechinguva chiduku. Fambai muchine chiedza, rima risati rasvika. Munhu anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda. 36Vimbai nechiedza muchinacho, kuti mugova vanakomana vechiedza.” Akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, Jesu akabvapo akazvivanza kwavari.

VaJudha vanoramba vari pakusatenda kwavo

37Kunyange zvazvo Jesu akaita zviratidzo zvose izvi pamberi pavo, havana kutongomutenda. 38Uku kwaiva kuzadziswa kweshoko raIsaya muprofita raakareva achiti:

“Ishe, ndianiko akatenda shoko redu,

uye ruoko rwaShe rwakaratidzwa kuna aniko?”

39Nokuda kwaizvozvo havana kugona kutenda nokuti, pane imwe nzvimbo, Isaya anoti:

40“Akapofumadza meso avo

uye akaomesa mwoyo yavo,

kuti varege kuona nameso avo,

varege kunzwisisa nemwoyo yavo,

varege kudzoka ndigovaporesa.”

41Isaya akataura izvi nokuti akaona kubwinya kwaJesu uye akataura nezvake.

42Asi nenguva imwe cheteyo kunyange vazhinji pakati pavatungamiri vakamutenda. Asi nokuda kwavaFarisi, havana kupupura kutenda kwavo nokuti vaitya kudzingwa musinagoge; 43nokuti vaida kukudzwa kunobva kuvanhu kupfuura kukudzwa kunobva kuna Mwari.

44Ipapo Jesu akadanidzira akati, “Munhu anenge achitenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri bedzi, asiwo nokuna iye akandituma. 45Paanonditarisa, anoona iye akandituma. 46Ndakauya panyika sechiedza, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anotenda mandiri angagara murima.

47“Kana pane munhu zvake anonzwa mashoko angu, asi akasaachengeta, ini handimutongi. Nokuti handina kuuya kuzotonga nyika, asi kuzoiponesa. 48Pano mutongi achatonga munhu anondiramba uye asingagamuchiri mashoko angu; shoko riya chairo randakataura ndiro richamutonga pazuva rokupedzisira. 49Nokuti handina kungozvipupurira pachangu, asi Baba vakandituma ndivo vakandirayira zvokutaura namatauriro acho. 50Ndinoziva kuti murayiro wavo unotungamirira kuupenyu husingaperi. Saka zvose zvandinoreva ndizvo chaizvo zvandakanzi nditaure naBaba.”
