Kana akaiwana, zvechokwadi ndinokutaurirai kuti anoifarira kupinda makumi mapfumbamwe ane pfumbamwe dzisina kumborasika. Saizvozvo Baba vangu vari kudenga havadi kuti mumwe wavadiki ava arasike. “Kana hama yako ikakutadzira, enda undotaurirana naye mhosva yake muri moga. Akakuteerera, watodzora hama yako. Asi akaramba kukuteerera, enda kwaari nomumwe kana vaviri kuti zvose zvamunotaura zvitsigirwe noumbowo hwezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu. Kana akaramba kuvateerera, pira nyaya iyoyo kusangano. Kana akaramba kuteerera kunyange sangano, mutorei somuhedheni nomuteresi. “Zvechokwadi ndinoti kwamuri, chose chamuchasunga pasi pano chichasungwawo kudenga. Uye chose chamuchasunungura pasi pano nokudenga chichasunungurwawo. Chimwezve chandinokutaurira, ndechokuti, kana vaviri venyu panyika pano vakawirirana kukumbira chimwe chinhu vachachiitirwa naBaba vangu vari kudenga. Nokuti panenge paungana vaviri kana vatatu muzita rangu, ini ndiri pakati pavo.” Pita akauya akati kuna Jesu, “Tenzi hama yangu ingandikanganisire kangani ndichiiregerera; tingati kanomwe here?” Jesu akati kwaari, “Handikuti kanomwe asi makumi manomwe akapetwa kanomwe.” Saizvozvo umambo hwedenga hungafananidzwe namambo akanga achida kupedzerana navaranda vake vaiva nezvikwereti naye. Paakatangisa kutaura nezvezvikwereti izvozvo, pakauiswa mumwe kwaari akanga aine chikwereti naye chegumi rezviuru zvemari yamatarenda. Nokuda kokuti akanga asingakwanisi kubhadhara, tenzi wake akati ngaatengeswe pamwechete nomudzimai wake navana nezvose zvaaiva nazvo kuti chikwereti chiripwe. Nezvo muranda uya akagwadama pasi achimuteterera achiti, “Tenzi ndiitireiwo mwoyo murefu. Ndichakudzorerai zvose zvazvo.” Tenzi womuranda uyu akamunzwira tsitsi ndokubva amuti aende zvake ndokumuregerera chikwereti chake chiya. Asi muranda mumwecheteyo paakanga avakubuda, akasangana nomumwe mushandi pamwe naye, akanga ane chikwereti kwaari chezana remari yamadhenari. Akabva amuti dzvi pahuro, achiti, “Ndibhadhare chikwereti changu.” Mumwe muranda uya mumwe wake akati pasi gwadagwa achimuteterera achiti, “Ingondiitirawo mwoyo murefu ndinokudzorera.” Asi iye akaramba ndokuenda ondomuisa mujeri kusvikira abhadhara chikwereti.

Ipapo tenzi wake akamudaidza, akati kwaari, “Iwe muranda wakaipa, ndakakuregerera chikwereti chose chiya nokuti wakanditeterera. Wanga usingafaniriwo here kunzwira urombo muranda pamwe newe sokukunzwira tsitsi kwandakakuitira?” Tenzi wake akashatirwa akamuendesa kuvarangi mujeri, “Kusvikira abhadhara chikwereti chake chose.
