“Ushe hwedenga hwakafananazve nousvasvi hunokandirwa mugungwa, hunounganidza marudzi ose ehove; kana hwazara vanohukwevera pamhenderekedzo, vakagara pasi, vakaunganidzira dzakanaka mumidziyo, asi dzakaipa vanodzirasa. Ndizvo zvichaitwa pakuguma kwenyika; vatumwa vachabuda, vachabudisa vakaipa pakati pavakarurama, vachavakandira muvira romoto; ipapo pachava nokuchema nokugeda-geda kwameno.”
(Jesu akati kwavari), “Manzwisisa izvozvo zvose here?” Vakati kwaari, “Hongu, Ishe.”
Akati kwavari, “Naizvozvo munyori mumwe nomumwe wakadzidziswa zvoushe hwekudenga, akafanana, mwene weimba, anobudisa zvinhu zvitsva nezvekare papfuma yake.”
Jesu akati apedza mifananidzo iyo, akabvapo. Akasvika kunyika yake, akavadzidzisa musinagoge ravo, nokudaro vakakatyamara, vakati, “Munhu uyu awanepiko kuchenjera uku namabasa esimba? Ko haasi mwanakomana womuvezi here? Ko mai vake havazonzi Maria here, vakoma navanun'una vake havanzi Jakobho, naJosefa, naSimoni, naJudhasi here. Nehanzvadzi dzake hadzisi pakati patiri dzose here? Ko iye akagowanepi zvinhu izvozvo zvose?”
Vakagumburwa naye. Asi Jesu akati kwavari, “Muporofita haangashayiwi kukudzwa, asi munyika yake, nomumba make.” Akasaita mabasa esimba mazhinji ipapo nokusatenda kwavo.
