Akazvizivisa nokutumira mutumwa wake kumuranda wake Johani uyo akapupurira izwi raMwari, akapupurawo uchapupu hwaJesu uye zvose zvaakaona. Akakomborerwa zvake uyo anoverenga mazwi okuporofita aya. Vakakomborerwawo vanonzwa uye vanochengeta zvakanyorwamo nokuti nguva yavapedyo. Ndini Johani ndinokunyorerai imi masangano manomwe okuAsia ndichiti: Dai chikomborero chokuitirwa nyasha nokuwaniswa rugare changova nemi chichibva kuna iye aripo, akanga aripo uye achazovapo, uyewo chichibva kumweya minomwe iri pamberi pechigaro chake choumambo, uyezve chichibva kuna Jesu mupupuri akatendeka, dangwe ravafi, mutongi wamadzimambo apanyika.

Ndakanga ndiri pachitsuwa chinonzi Patimosi pamusana peshoko raMwari uye pamusana pokupupurira Jesu. Ndaiva naMweya pazuva raTenzi ndikanzwa necheshure kwangu kurira kukuru kunenge kwebhosvo richiti, “Nyora mubhuku zvauchaona uzvitumire kumasangano manomwe aya anoti, reEfesusi nereSimuna nerePerigamumu nereTiatira nereSadhisi nereFiradefia nereRaodhekia.” Ndipo pandakatendeuka kuti ndione kuti izwi rani raitaura neni. Pandakatendeuka ndakaona zvigadzikiro zvomwenje zvendarama zvinomwe.

Pandakamuona ndakawira pasi patsoka dzake sokunge ndafa, asi iye akaisa ruoko rwake rworudyi pandiri achiti, “Usatye, ndini Wokutanga noWokupedzisira. Ndini mupenyu uya, hongu ndakambofa zvangu asi tarisa uone ndava mupenyu nokusingaperi uye ndine kii dzorufu nedzokunzvimbo yavafi. Zvino chipota uchinyora zvaunoona zviripo nezvichazovapo.
