Waza wababizela kuye abafundi bakhe abalishumi elinababini, wabanika igunya koomoya abangcolileyo, ukuze babakhuphe, nelokuphilisa izifo nezikhuhlane zonke.
Amagama ke abapostile• abo balishumi elinababini ngawo la: owokuqala, uSimon ekuthiwa nguPetros, noAndreya umzalwana wakhe; uYakobi kaZebhedi, noYohane umzalwana wakhe; uFilipu noBhartolomeyu; uTomas noMateyu, umbuthi werhafu; uYakobi ka-Alifeyu, noLebheyu, ogama limbi linguTadeyu; uSimon umKanan noYuda Sikariyoti, lowo wamngcatshayo.
Abo bashumi linababini wabathuma uYesu, akuba ebayalile, wathi, Ze ningasingi endleleni yeentlanga, ningangeni nasemzini wamaSamariya; yiyani ke kanye kwizimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaSirayeli. Ekuhambeni kwenu ke vakalisani, nisithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu busondele. Philisani imilwelwe, hlambululani abaneqhenqa, vusani abafileyo, khuphani iidemon; namkéle ngesisa, yiphani ngesisa. Ningaziqwebeli golide nasilivere nalubhedu emibhinqweni yenu; nangxowa yandlela, nangubo zangaphantsi ngambini, nambadada, namsimelelo; kuba umsébenzi ufanelwe kukudla kwakhe.
Emzini ke enithe nangena kuwo, nokuba kusemzaneni, ize nibúzise ukuba ngubani na kuwo ofanelekileyo; nihlale ke khona apho nide nimke. Ekungeneni kwenu ke endlwini, ize niyibulise. Ukuba ke ifanelekile indlu leyo, malube phezu kwayo uxolo lwenu; ukuba ayifanelekile, uxolo lwenu malubuyele kwakuni. Nóthe àkawamkela, akaweva amazwi enu, nàkuphuma kuloo ndlu nakuloo mzi, vuthululani uthuli lweenyawo zenu. Inene ndithi kuni, Koba nokunyamezeleka okomhlaba waseSodom nowaseGomora ngomhla womgwebo, kunokwaloo mzi.
Yabonani, mna ndinithuma njengezimvu phakathi kweengcuka; ngoko yibani nobulumko njengeenyoka, nibe njengamahobe ukungabi nabuqhinga. Balumkeleni ke abantu; kuba baya kuninikela ezintlanganisweni zamatyala, banityakatye ezindlwini zabo zesikhungu; náye ke niya kusiwa phambi kwabalawuli nookumkani ngenxa yam, ze kube bubungqina kubo, nakuzo iintlanga.
Xa sukuba ke beninikela, ize ningaxhaleli ukuba nothetha ngakuphi na, nokuba nothetha ntoni na; kuba niya kunikwa ngelo lixa oko nothetha khona. Kuba asinini abathethayo, nguMoya kaYihlo othethayo ngaphakathi kwenu. Ke kaloku umzalwana uya kunikela umzalwana ekufeni, aze uyise anikele umntwana; bathi nabantwana basuke phezu kwabazali bababulalisise; niya kuthiywa ngabantu bonke ngenxa yegama lam; ke onyamezelayo kwada kwaba kwasekupheleni, uya kusindiswa yena. Xa sukuba ke benitshutshisa kuloo mzi, sabelani kuwumbi; kuba inene ndithi kuni, Aniyi kukha niyigqibe imizwi yakwaSirayeli, engekafiki uNyana woMntu.
