Nenguva iyo vamwe vakanga varipo vakamuudza shoko ravaGariria vakanga vavenganisirwa ropa ravo nezvibayiro zvavo naPirato. Akapindura, akati kwavari, “Munoti vaGariria avo vakanga vari vatadzi here kupfuura vaGariria vose, zvavakatambudzika saizvozvo? Ndinokuudzai, kwete; asi kana musingatendeuki, imi mose muchaurawa saizvozvo. Kana vaya vane gumi navasere, vakawirwa nesvingo yeSiroami, ikavauraya, munoti vakanga vane mhosva kukunda vanhu vose vaigara Jerusaremu here? Ndinokuudzai, kwete; asi kana musingatendeuki, imi mose muchaurawa saizvozvo.” Zvino akataura mufananidzo uyu, “Mumwe munhu akanga ano muonde, wakanga wakasimwa mumunda wake wemidzambiringa; akauya achitsvaka muchero kwauri, akaushayiwa. Ipapo akati kumurimi womunda wemidzambiringa, ‘Tarira, ndauya makore matatu ndichitsvaka michero pamuonde uyu, ndikaushayiwa; uuteme, unotadzireiko pasi?’ Akapindura, akati kwaari, ‘Ishe, muuregei henyu nhaka, kusvikira ndichiurimira, nokuuisa mupfudze; kana ukazobereka michero, zvakanaka; asi kana usingabereki, mungazoutema henyu.’ ” Zvino akanga achidzidzisa mune rimwe sinagoge nomusi weSabata. Zvino tarira, kwaivapo mukadzi aiva nomweya wourwere makore ane gumi namasere; akanga akafunyana, asingatongogoni kusimuka. Jesu akati achimuona, akamudana, akati kwaari, “Mai, masunungurwa paurwere hwenyu.” Akaisa maoko ake pamusoro pake; akatasanuka pakarepo, akarumbidza Mwari. Zvino mukuru wesinagoge akatsamwa, nokuti Jesu akaporesa nomusi weSabata, akapindura, akati kuvanhu vazhinji, “Mazuva matanhatu aripo, anofanira kushandwa nawo; uyai naiwayo, muporeswe; asi musauya nomusi weSabata.” Asi Ishe akamupindura, akati, “Imi, vanyengeri! Ko mumwe nomumwe wenyu haangasununguri mombe yake kana mbongoro yake pachidyiro nomusi weSabata, akaenda nayo kundoinwisa here? Zvino mukadzi uyu, mwanasikana waAbhurahamu, akanga akasungwa naSatani makore ane gumi namasere, haaizafanira kusunungurwa nomusi weSabata pachisungo ichi here?” Zvino akati areva izvozvo, vadzivisi vake vose vakanyadziswa; asi vanhu vazhinji vose vakafara nezvinhu zvose zvakaisvonaka, zvakaitwa naye. Zvino akati, “Ushe hwaMwari hwakafanana neiko? Ndichahufananidza nei? Hwakafanana netsanga yembeu yemasitadhi, yakatorwa nomunhu, akadyara mumunda make, ikamera, ikaita muti, shiri dzokudenga dzikagara pamatavi awo.” Akatizve, “Ushe hwaMwari ndichahufananidza neiko? Hwakafanana nembiriso yakatorwa nomukadzi akaiisa muzviyero zvitatu zvoupfu, kusvikira hwose hwaviriswa.”
