Kwaiva navakomana vanomwe, mukomanomunun'una. Dangwe ravo rakaroora mukadzi. Parakafa harina kusiya mwana. Wechipiri akatorana naye ndokufawo asina kusiya mwana kunze. Wechitatu akadarowo. Vari vanomwe kudaro havana kusiya mwana kunze. Pakupedzisira mukadzi uya akafawo.

Nokuti pakumuka kwavanhu kuvafi havacharoori kana kuroorwa asi kuti vachagara savatumwa vari kudenga. Kana zviri zvokumutswa kwavakafa, hamuna kuverenga here muGwaro raMosesi paya pezvegwenzi riya, zvokuti Mwari akamutaurira achiti, ‘Ini ndini Mwari waAbhurahamu, naMwari waIsaki, naMwari waJakobho?’ Haasi Mwari wavakafa asi wavapenyu. Munokanganisa chaizvo.” Zvino mumwe wenyanzvi dzoMutemo akasvika akavanzwa vachiitirana naye nharo. Zvaakaona kuti Jesu avapindura nomazvo akamubvunza achiti, “Ko mutemo wechiposhi–poshi pane mitemo yose ndoupi?” Jesu akapindura achiti, “Mutemo wechiposhi–poshi ndouyu unoti; “ ‘Chinzwa Isiraeri, Tenzi Mwari wedu ndiye Tenzi mumwe chete oga. Uye ida Tenzi Mwari wako nomwoyo wako wose, nomweya wako wose, nepfungwa dzako dzose, nesimba rako rose.’ “Wechipiri ndouyu, “ ‘Ida mumwe wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe pachako.’ Hakuna mutemo mukuru pana iyoyi.” Zvino nyanzvi yoMutemo iya yakamuti, “Ndizvozvo chaizvo, Mudzidzisi, mataura sezvazviri kuti kuna Mwari mumwe chete, kunze kwake hakuna mumwezve. Kwouya kuti kumuda nomwoyo wose, nepfungwa dzose, nesimba rose, nokuda mumwe wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe pachako, zvinokunda zvibayiro zvose zvechinhu chinopiswa chose zvacho nemipiro.” Jesu paakanzwa kuti apindura noungwaru akamuti, “Hausiri kure noumambo hwaMwari.” Kubva ipapo hapana naakazoshinga kumubvunza kana mumwe mubvunzo zvawo.

Mukudzidzisa kwake Jesu akati, “Ngwarirai nyanzvi dzoMutemo, vanhu vanoda kufamba vakapfeka magemenzi marefu nokukwaziswa navanhu pamisika. Vanodawo zvigaro zvakanaka mumasinagogu nezvigaro zvavakuru–vakuru pamabiko. Vanodya twemba dzechirikadzi, uye vanoita minamato mirefu yokungobata zvavo vanhu kumeso.
