Zvaitova nani kuti asungirirwe guyo mumutsipa make achindokandwa munyanza panze pokuti akonzere mumwe wavaduku ava kuti atadzire Mwari. Zvichenjererei imi pachenyu; kana hama yako ikakutadzira, itsiure. Kana ikapfidza iregerere. Uye kana akakutadzira kanomwe pazuva akauya kwauri kanomwe achiti ndapfidza. Unofanira kumuregerera.” Vapositori vakati kuna Tenzi, “Tiwedzereiwo chitendero chedu.” Tenzi akati, “Dai muine chitendero chakaita setsanga yemasitadhi, maigona kuti kumuonde uyu dzipuka undosimwa mugungwa uchikuteererai. “Pane mumwe wenyu here ano muranda anenge achirima kana kufudza hwai, angati kwaari kana abva kumunda, ‘Chibva wauya ugare pakudya?’ Haasi anototi here, ‘Ndigadzirire chokudya chamanheru upfeke undiperekere, kusvikira ndadya ndikanwa, iwe wozodyawo nokunwa mushure macho?’ Anotenda muranda here nokuti aita zvaaudzwa? Nemiwo, kana maita zvamunenge maudzwa itii, ‘Tiri varanda vasingakodzeri. Tangoita zvatinofanira kuita.’ ” Ari parwendo rwokuenda kuJerusaremu akapfuura napakati peSamaria neGarirea. Paakapinda mune mumwe musha, akasangana navanhu gumi vaiva namaperembudzi vakamira nechekure vakadaidzira vachiti, “Jesu, Tenzi tinzwireiwo tsitsi.” Paakavaona akati kwavari, “Endai mundozviratidza kuvapristi.” Pavaienda vakabva vaporeswa.

Jesu akati, “Ko vanatswa havasi gumi here? Ko vamwe vapfumbamwe varipi? Hapana kuwanikwa adzoka kuzorumbidza Mwari kusiya mutorwa uyu oga.” Akati kwaari, “Chisimuka uenda zvako. Chitendero chako chakuponesa.” Jesu paakabvunzwa navaFarisei kuti umambo hwaMwari huchasvika rini, akavapindura achiti, “Umambo hwaMwari hausi kuuya nezviratidzo zvinoonekwa. Hakuna munhu achati, ‘Hohuno huri pano kana kuti huri apo, nokuti izvozvi umambo hwaMwari huri pakati penyu.’ ” Akazoti kuna vadzidzi vake, “Mazuva ari kuuya pamuchasuwira kuona rimwe ramazuva oMwanakomana womunhu asi hamumboriona. Vamwe vachati kwamuri, ‘Ari kokoko kana kuti ari pano apa.’ Musaendeko kana kuvatevera. Nokuti sokuvaima kunoita mheni ichivhenekera denga kubvira kunorumwe rutivi kusvika kunorumwe, ndizvozvowo zvichaita Mwanakomana womunhu pamazuva ake. Asi anofanira kutanga atambudzika zvakanyanya agorambwa nechizvarwa ichi. Sezvazvakanga zvakaita pamazuva aNowa, ndizvozvowo zvazvichaita pamazuva oMwanakomana womunhu.
