Akavadzidzisa zvizhinji nemifananidzo, akati kwavari pakudzidzisa kwake, “Teererai, Mukushi akabuda kundokusha. Akati achikusha, dzimwe mbeu dzakawira panzira; shiri dzikauya dzikadzidya. Dzimwe dzakawira parukangarabwe, padzakanga dzisina ivhu zhinji; dzikamera pakarepo, nokuti dzakanga dzisina ivhu rakadzika; asi zuva rakati rabuda, dzikapiswa; dzikaoma, nokuti dzakanga dzisina mudzi. “Dzimwe dzakawira muminzwa; minzwa ikamera, ikadzivhunga, dzikasaita vana. Dzimwe dzakawira muvhu rakanaka, dzikaita vana, nokuti dzakakura, dzikawanza; dzikabereka makumi matatu, namakumi matanhatu, nezana.” Akati, “Ane nzeve dzokunzwa, ngaanzwe.” Akati ari oga, vakanga vanaye vane gumi navaviri vakamubvunza zvemifananidzo. Akati kwavari, “Imi makapiwa kuziva zvakavanzika zvoushe hwaMwari, asi kuna ava, vari kunze, zvose zvinoitwa nemifananidzo, kuti, kuona vaone, asi varege kuonesesa, nokunzwa vanzwe, asi varege kunzwisisa, kuti zvimwe varege kutendeuka, vakaregererwa zvivi zvavo.” Zvino akati kwavari, “Hamuzivi here mufananidzo uyu? Muchaziva seiko mifananidzo yose? Mukushi ndiye anokusha shoko. Vari munzira panokushwa shoko ndivo vanoti kana vanzwa, pakarepo Satani anouya, ndokubvisa shoko rakakushwa mavari. Navakakushwa parukangarabwe vakaita saizvozvo, ndivo vanoti kana vanzwa shoko rakakushwa, vanorigamuchira pakarepo nomufaro, asi havana mudzi mavari, asi ndivo vechinguva chiduku; pashure kana kutambudzika nokuvengwa zvichiuya nokuda kweshoko, pakarepo vanogumburwa. “Vamwe vanokushwa muminzwa, ndivo vanonzwa shoko, asi kufunganya kwenyika nokunyengera kwepfuma, nokuchiva zvimwe, kunopinda, kuchivhunga shoko, rikashaiwa zvibereko. “Vakakushwa muvhu rakanaka, ndivo vanonzwa shoko, vakarigamuchira, vakabereka, mumwe makumi matatu, mumwe makumi matanhatu, mumwe zana.”
