Akukho ke uthi, esibanekile isibane, asibeke endaweni efihlakeleyo, nokuba kuphantsi kwesitya; usibeka esiphathweni saso, ukuze abo bangénayo bakubone ukukhanya. Isibane somzimba liliso. Xa sukuba iliso lakho lingenakumbi, umzimba wakho uphela uyakhanyiseleka; xa lithe lakhohlakala, nomzimba wakho ububumnyama. Ngoko xunela ekuthini ukukhanya okukuwe kungabi bubumnyama. Ukuba ngoko umzimba wakho uphela ukhanyiselekile, ungenandawo imnyama, úya kukhanyiseleka uphela, njengaxenikweni sithe isibane sakukhanyisela ngokudangazela kwaso.
Ke kaloku, akuba ethethile, umFarisi othile wayemcela ukuba aye komulela kuye. Ungenile ke wahlala phantsi. Uthe ke akubona oku, umFarisi wamangaliswa kukuba engathanga kuqala ahlambe, phambi kokuba adle.
Yathi ke iNkosi kuye, Kaloku nina baFarisi nihlambulula umphandle wendebe nesitya, ukanti wona umbilini wenu uzele kukuphanga nokungendawo. Basweli-kuqonda, owakwenzayo okungaphandle akakwenzanga na nokungaphakathi? Kanye ke izinto ezingaphakathi, lizani ngazo; niyabona, zosuka zonke izinto zihlambuluke kuni.
Yeha, nina baFarisi! Ngokuba ninikela izishumi zetyeleba nezenxina nezemifuno yonke, nize nidlule kuwo umgwebo nokuthanda uThixo; ezi ndawo ke benimelwe kukuthi nizenze, nithi neziya ningazishiyi.
Yeha, nina baFarisi! Ngokuba nithanda isihlalo sobukhulu ezindlwini zesikhungu, nemibuliso ezindaweni zembutho.
Yeha, nina babhali, baFarisi, bahanahanisindini! Ngokuba ninjengamangcwaba angabonakaliyo, abathi nabantu abahamba phezu kwawo, bangawazi.
Waphendula ke othile wakubaqondisi-mthetho, wathi kuye, Mfundisi, uzithetha nje ezo zinto, usiphatha kakubi nathi.
Uthe ke yena, Yeha, nani baqondisimthetho! Ngokuba abantu nibathwalisa imithwalo enzima, nibe nina ngokwenu ningayichukumisi imithwalo leyo nangamnye umnwe wenu.
Yeha, nina! Ngokuba niyawakha amangcwaba abaprofeti, babe ke ooyihlo bebabulele. Kambe niyayingqinela niyithakazela imisebenzi yooyihlo; ngokuba bona okunene bababulala, niyawakha ke nina amangcwaba abo. Ngenxa yoko nobulumko bukaThixo bâthi, Ndiya kubathumela abaprofeti nabapostile;• kubo abo ke baya kuyibulala inxenye, bayitshutshise inxenye; ukuze limenywe kwesi sizukulwana igazi labo bonke abaprofeti elaphalazwayo, kuseloko lasekwayo ihlabathi; lithabathela egazini lika-Abheli, lide lizise egazini likaZekariya, owatshabalalela phakathi kwesibingelelo nendawo eyingcwele. Ewe, ndithi kuni, liya kumenywa kwesi sizukulwana.
Yeha nina, baqondisi-mthetho! Ngokuba nasisusa isitshixo sokwazi; nina anangena, nabangénayo nabaléla.
Ke kaloku, akubon' ukuba uyazithetha ezi zinto kubo, baqala ababhali nabaFarisi ukuba nenqala enkulu nokumcofa ngemibuzo emininzi, bemlalele, befuna ukunqakula into ephuma emlonyeni wakhe, ukuze bammangalele.
