Asi iye akapindura achiti, “Muri kuona zvose izvi handiti, zvechokwadi ndinoti kwamuri hapachazosara dombo riri pamusoro perimwe risingazokoromotserwa pasi.” Paakanga akagara pagomo roMuorivhi, vadzidzi vakauya kwaari vari voga pachavo vachiti, “Tiudzei, zvichaitika rinhi izvi uye chii chicharatidza kuti mavakuuya, uyewo kuti nyika yava kuguma?” Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Chenjerai kuti murege kurasiswa naani zvake. Nokuti kuna vazhinji vachauya nomuzita rangu vachiti ndini, ‘Kristu.’ Vacharasisa vazhinji. Muchanzwa zvehondo namarehwarehwa ehondo. Musanyanye kutya zvenyu. Izvi zvinofanira kuti zviitike asi magumo anenge asati asvika. Rudzi ruchamukirana norumwe rudzi noumambo huchamukirana nohumwe humambo. Kuchava nedzinzara nokundengendeka kwapasi munzvimbo dzakasiyana–siyana. Iri rinenge riri romoromo chete ramatambudziko okusununguka. Vachakupinzai mudambudziko vachikuurayai.

Nokuda kokuti uipi hunenge hwawanda, rudo rwavazhinji ruchatonhora. Asi uyo anotsungarara kusvikira kumagumo achaponeswa. Shoko iri Rakanaka roumambo richaparidzwa pasi pose souchapupu kumarudzi ose. Ndipo panozouya kuguma. “Naizvozvo kana moona chiya choumharadzi chinon'oresa chakarehwa nomuporofita Dhanieri chamira munzvimbo inoera (anoverenga ngaanzwisise.) Ipapo vari muJudhea ngavatizire kumakomo. Uyo anenge ari pamusoro pemba ngaarege kuburikira pasi kuti andotora zviri mumba make. Anenge ari kumunda ngaarege kudzokera kundotora jasi rake.
