Mazuva matanhatu akati apfuura, Jesu akatora Petirosi, naJakobho, naJohani, akaenda navo mugomo refu kurutivi vari voga; akasanduka pamberi pavo. Nguo dzake dzikapenya, dzikachena zvikuru; hakuna musuki pano panyika, angagona kudzichenesa kudaro. Ipapo Eria naMosesi vakaonekwa navo, vachitaurirana naJesu. Petirosi akati kuna Jesu, “Rabhi, zvakanaka zvatiri pano; ngativake matumba matatu, rimwe renyu, rimwe raMosesi, rimwe raEria.” Nokuti akanga asingazivi chaanotaura, nokuti vakatya zvikuru. Zvino gore rikauya rikavafukidza, izwi rikabuda mugore, richiti, “Uyu Mwanakomana wangu mudiwa, mumunzwei!” Kamwe, vakati vachiringaringa, havana kuzoona munhu, asi Jesu bedzi anavo. Zvino vakati vachiburuka mugomo, akavarayira kuti, varege kuudza munhu zvavakanga vaona kusvikira Mwanakomana womunhu amuka kuvakafa. Vakarichengeta shoko iro, vachiita nyaya pakati pavo, kuti, “Kumuka kwavakafa chinyiko?” Vakamubvunza, vachiti, “Vanyori vanotaurireiko vachiti, ‘Eria anofanira kutanga kuuya?’ ” Akati kwavari, “Eria achatanga kuuya hake, avandudze zvinhu zvose, asi kwakagonyorwa seiko zvoMwanakomana womunhu, kuti achatambudzika zvikuru nokuzvidzwa? Asi ndinoti kwamuri, Eria akatosvika, vakamuitira zvose pavakanga vachida napo, sezvazvakanyorwa pamusoro pake.” Vakati vasvika kuvadzidzi, vakaona vanhu vazhinji-zhinji, vakavakomba, navanyori vachiita nyaya navo. Pakarepo vazhinji vose vakati vachimuona, vakashamiswa kwazvo, vakamhanyira kwaari, vakamukwazisa. Akavabvunza, akati, “Munoita nyaya neiko navo?” Mumwe wavazhinji akamupindura, akati, “Mudzidzisi, ndauya kwamuri nomwanakomana wangu, anomweya wembeveve. Kwose kwaanomubata, anomuwisira pasi, achipupuma furo, achigeda-geda meno, uye anoonda kwazvo. Ndakataura navadzidzi venyu kuti vaubudise, vakasagona.” Akavapindura, akati, “Haiwa, rudzi rusingatendi, ndichagara nemi kusvikira riniko? Ndichakuitirai mwoyo murefu kusvikira riniko? Uyai naye kwandiri.” Vakauya naye kwaari; akati achimuona, pakarepo mweya ukamubvundisa, akawira pasi, akakunguruka, achipupuma furo. Zvino akabvunza baba vake, akati, “Yava nguva yakadiniko kubvira izvozvi zvichimuwira?” Akati, “Kubva pauduku hwake.” “Kazhinji wakamuwisira mumoto kana mumvura kuti umuparadze; asi kana muchigona kuita chinhu, mutinzwire tsitsi, mutibatsire.” Jesu akati kwaari, “Kana iwe uchigona kutenda, zvose zvingaitika kuna anotenda.” Pakarepo baba vomwana vakachema, vachiti, “Ndinotenda, ndibatsirei pakusatenda kwangu.”
