10Kepha uJesu ekwazi ababekusho, wathi kubo: “Nimhluphelani lo wesifazane na? Ngokuba wenze umsebenzi omuhle kimi. 11 Ngokuba abampofu ninabo njalo, kodwa Mina aniyukuhlala ninami njalo. 12Ngokuba lo wesifazane, ngokuthela lawa mafutha emzimbeni wami, ukwenzele ukungilungisela ukumbelwa. 13Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: noma kuphi lapho leli vangeli liyakushunyayelwa khona, emhlabeni wonke, kuyakukhulunywa nangalokhu akwenzile lo wesifazane, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.”

Base besondela, bambamba uJesu. 51 Omunye walabo ababenoJesu wagqashula inkemba yakhe, wagenca inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wanquma indlebe yayo.
52UJesu wathi kuye: “Buyisela inkemba yakho emgodleni wayo, ngokuba bonke abaphatha inkemba bayakubhubha ngenkemba. 53Ucabanga ukuthi bengingecele yini kuBaba angithumelele amaviyo ezingelosi angaphezu kwali-12 na? 54Pho-ke ingafezeka kanjani imibhalo ethi kufanele ukuba kwenzeke kanjalo na?”
55 Ngaleso sikhathi uJesu wathi ezixukwini: “Niphume kungathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku, nizongibamba na? Nsuku zonke bengifundisa ethempelini, kodwa anizange ningibambe. 56 Kepha konke lokho kwenzekile ukuba kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaphrofethi.”
