Johani 10:7-30

Zvino Jesu akati kwavarizve, “Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri, ndini musuo wamakwai. Vose vakanditangira kuuya, imbavha namakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa. “Ndini musuo kana munhu apinda neni, achaponeswa, achapinda, achabuda, achawana mafuro. Mbavha inongouya, kuti ibe nokuuraya nokuparadza. Ini ndakauya, kuti ave noupenyu, uye ave nohwakawanda. “Ndini mufudzi akanaka; mufudzi akanaka anorasira makwai ake upenyu hwake. Muranda, asati ari mufudzi wamakwai, makwai asati ari ake, anoti kana achiona bere richiuya, anosiya makwai, ndokutiza; bere rinoabvuta, nokuaparadza; anotiza, zvaari muranda; haana hanya namakwai. Ndini mufudzi akanaka, ndinoziva makwai angu, namakwai angu anondiziva ini, Baba sezvavanondiziva, neni ndichiziva baba; ndinorashira makwai angu hupenyu hwangu. Namamwe makwai ndinawo, asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuuya nawowo, achanzwa inzwi rangu; richava boka rimwe, nomufudzi mumwe. “Saka baba vanondida, nokuti ndinorasha upenyu hwangu, ndigohutorazve. Hakuna munhu anganditorera upenyu; asi ndinohurasha ndimene. Ndine simba rokuhurasha, uye ndine simba rokuhutorazve. Uyu murayiro ndakaupiwa nababa vangu.” Ipapo kupesana kukamukazve pakati pavaJudha pamusoro pamashoko iwayo. Vazhinji vavo vakati, “Ane mweya wakaipa, anopenga; munomuteerereiko?” Vamwe vakati, “Mashoko awa haati ari omunhu akabatwa nomweya wakaipa; ko mweya wakaipa ungagona kusvinudza meso amapofu here?” Yaiva nguva yomutambo wokuvandudzwa kwetemberi paJerusaremu; chaiva chando. Jesu akafamba mutemberi pabiravira raSoromoni. Zvino vaJudha vakamukomba, vakati kwaari, “Uchatinetsa kusvikira ripiko? Kana uri Kristu iwe, tiudze pachena.” Jesu akavapindura, akati, “Ndakakuudzai, mukasatenda. Mabasa andinoita nezita rababa, ndiwo anondipupurireni. Asi imi hamutendi, nokuti hamusi vamakwai angu. Makwai angu anonzwa izwi rangu; neni ndinoaziva, uye anonditevera. Ndinoapa upenyu husingaperi; haangafi nokusingaperi, uye hakuna munhu angaabvuta muruoko rwangu. Zvandakapiwa nababa vangu zvikuru kuna zvose; hakuna munhu ungaabvuta muruoko rwababa vangu. “Ini nababa tiri vamwe.”
