UMARKO 3:22-35

Baye bona ababhali, ababehle bevela eYerusalem, besithi, ÚnoBhelezebhule;• besithi, Iidemon ezi uzikhupha ngaye umphathi weedemon. Uthe ebabizele kuye, wathetha nabo ngemizekeliso, esithi, Angáthini na uSathana ukukhupha uSathana? Nobukumkani, ukuba buthe bahlulelana bodwa, abunako ukuma obo bukumkani; nendlu, ukuba ithe yahlulelana yodwa, ayinako ukuma loo ndlu; noSathana, ukuba uthe wazichasa ngokwakhe, wahlulelana yedwa, akanako ukuma, uphelile. Akukho unako ukuthi impahla yegorha angene endlwini yalo ayiphange, ukuba akathanga tanci alibophe igorha elo, andule ukuyiphanga indlu yalo. Inene ndithi kuni, Zonke izono baya kuzixolelwa oonyana babantu, kwanezinyeliso abasukuba benyelisa ngazo; ke yena othe wanyelisa uMoya oyiNgewele, akanako ukuxolelwa naphakade; unetyala lokugwetywa okungunaphakade. Watsho kuba besithi, Únomoya ongcolileyo. Bafika ke kaloku abazalwana bakhe nonina; bathi, bemi ngaphandle, bathumela kuye bembiza. Zaye izihlwele zihleli zimphahlile; bathi kuye, Nanku unyoko nabazalwana bakho ngaphandle, bekufuna. Wabaphendula esithi, Ngubani na uma? Ngoobani na nabazalwana bam? Akuba ebasingasingile ngeenxa zonke ababehleli bemphahlile, uthi, Nanku uma nabazalwana bam. Kuba othe wakwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo, lowo ngumzalwana wam, nodade wethu, noma.
