UMSEBENZI WABATHUNYWA 1:1-8 XHO96

Kwincwadi yam yokuqala, Tiyofilo, ndabhala ndibalisa ngazo zonke izinto uYesu awasungula ngazo ukwenza nokufundisa, kude kuye kuthi gaa ngaloo mhla wanyuselwa ngawo ezulwini nguThixo. Ngaphambi kokuba anyuswe uYesu, wathi ngoMoya oyiNgcwele wawayala loo madoda awawanyulayo ukuba abe *ngabathunywa. Emva kokubandezelwa nokufa kwakhe wazibonakalisa kuloo madoda ngeziganeko ezininzi ukuba uvukile. Kwithuba leentsuku ezingamashumi amane abathunywa babemana bembona, ethetha nabo ebaxelela ngezolawulo lukaThixo. Esitya kunye nabo wabayala wathi: “Ze ningemki eJerusalem. Hlalani nilinde isipho esathenjiswa nguBawo, esiya ndanixelela ngaso. Kaloku uYohane yena wayebabhaptiza ngamanzi abantu; ke nina, kungekudala, uThixo uza kunibhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.” Xa babendawonye, abathunywa bambuza uYesu besithi: “Nkosi, ngaba uza kulubuyisela kwangoku na ulawulo kumaSirayeli?” UYesu uphendule wathi: “Asiyondawo yenu ukuwazi amathuba namaxesha uBawo agqiba yedwa ngawo. Nina niya kunikwa amandla, akufika kuni uMoya oyiNgcwele, nindingqinele ebantwini baseJerusalem, nabakulo lonke elakwaJuda, nabaseSamariya, kude kuse naseziphelweni zomhlaba.”
