Johani 12:23-32

Jesu akavapindura achiti, “Nguva yasvika yokuti Mwanakomana womunhu zvino achiwana mukurumbira. Zvechokwadi chaizvo ndinoti kwamuri kusatoti tsanga yekoroni yawira muvhu ikafa inoramba ichingova yoga asi ikafa inobereka muchero wakawanda. Anoda upenyu hwake anorasikirwa naho, asi uyo anovenga upenyu hwake pasi pano anohuchengeta kusvikira kuhupenyu husingaperi. Anoda kundishandira, anofanira kunditevera, kwandinenge ndiri, mushandi wangu ndokwaanofanirawo kuva. Munhu akandishandira, Baba vachamukudza. “Iye zvino ndiri kushushikana mumwoyo Ndoti kudiiko? Baba ndipunyutseiwo kunguva iyi asi aiwa, inga zvenguva iyi ndizvo zvandakavinga wani. Baba rumbidzai zita renyu.” Ipapo izwi rakabva kudenga richiti, “Ndakarirumbidza uye ndicharirumbidzazve.” Chikwata chavanhu chakanga chiripo chakazvinzwa. Vakati, “Kwatinhira,” vamwewo vakati, “Mutumwa waMwari ataura kwaari.” Jesu akapindura achiti, “Izwi iri rauyira imi kwete ini.” Zvino kutongwa kwapasi pano kwasvika. Zvino mutongi wapasi pano ava kudzingirwa kunze. Iniwo kana ndarembedzwa pamusoro payo nyika, ndichakwezvera vanhu vose kwandiri.
