UMARKO 10:32-52

Ke kaloku babesendleleni, benyuka besiya eYerusalem; waye uYesu ehamba phambi kwabo; baye bethe qhiphu umbilini, balandela besoyika. Wabuya wabathabatha abalishumi elinababini waqala ukubaxelela izinto eziza kumhlela, esithi, Niyabona, siyenyuka siya eYerusalem; waye uNyana woMntu eya kunikelwa kubabingeleli abakhulu, nakubabhali; baya kumgweba ukuba afe, bamnikele kuzo iintlanga. Ziya kudlala ngaye, zimtyakatye, zimtshicele, zimbulale; aze athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke. Kuthi kuze kuye uYakobi noYohane, oonyana bakaZebhedi, besithi, Mfundisi, sithanda ukuba usenzele into esothi siyicele. Wathi ke yena kubo, Nithanda ukuba ndinenzele ntoni na? Bathi ke bona kuye, Siphe ukuhlala, omnye ngasekunene kwakho, nomnye ngasekhohlo kwakho, ebuqaqawulini bakho. Wathi ke uYesu kubo, Aniyazi into eniyicelayo: ninako na ukuyisela indebe endiyiselayo mna, nibhaptizwe ngobhaptizo endibhaptizwa ngalo mna? Bathi ke bona kuye, Sinako. Wathi ke uYesu kubo, Okunene indebe endiyiselayo mna, niya kuyisela; nobhaptizo endibhaptizwa ngalo mna, niya kubhaptizwa kwangalo; kodwa kona ukuhlala ngasekunene kwam nangasekhohlo kwam, asikwam ukupha ngako, ngaphandle kokupha abo kulungiselwe bona. Bevile abalishumi, baqala ukubacaphukela ooYakobi noYohane. Ke kaloku, uYesu ebabizele kuye, uthi kubo, Niyazi ukuba abo kuthiwa balawula iintlanga, bayazigagamela; nabo bazizikhulu zazo benza ngegunya kuzo. Ze kungabi njalo ke phakathi kwenu nina; osukuba efuna ukuba mkhulu phakathi kwenu, makabe ngumlungiseleli wenu; nosukuba efuna ukuba ngowokuqala, makabe ngumkhonzi wabo bonke; kuba noNyana woMntu engezanga kulungiselelwa; weza kulungiselela, nokuncama ubomi bakhe, bube yintlawulelo yokukhulula abaninzi. Baza kufika eYeriko. Ekuphumeni kwakhe eYeriko apho, nabafundi bakhe nendimbane elingeneyo, unyana kaTimeyu, uBhartimeyu, imfama, waye ehleli ngasendleleni engqiba. Wathi akuva ukuba nguYesu waseNazarete, waqala ukudanduluka wathi, Yesu nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Baye abaninzi bemkhalimela ukuba athi tu; kwaba kokukhona ke wadandulukayo ngakumbi, esithi, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba. Wema uYesu wathi, Makabizwe. Bayibiza ke imfama, besithi kuyo, Yomelela, suk' ume; úyakubiza. Ithe ke yona, ilahlé ingubo yayo, yesuka yeza kuYesu. Aphendule athi kuyo uYesu, Uthanda ukuba ndikwenzele ntoni na? Yathi ke imfama kuye, Rabhoni,• ndithanda ukuba ndibone. Wathi ke uYesu kuyo, Hamba uhambe; ukholo lwakho lukusindisile. Yabona kwaoko, yamlandela uYesu endleleni apho.
