UYOHANE 9:24-41

Ke ngoko amaJuda aphinda ambuza loo mntu wayezelwe eyimfama, athi kuye: “Sikufungisa uThixo ukuba uthethe inyaniso. Thina siyazi okokuba lo mntu ngumoni.” Waphendula wathi: “Ukuba ungumoni, nokuba akanguye, andazi. Ndazi nto-nye kuphela; bendiyimfama, ngoku ke ndiyabona.” Aza athi kuye: “Ukwenze ntoni kanye ukukuvula amehlo?” Wawaphendula wathi: “Sendinixelele nje, naza anaphulaphula; kutheni ukuba nifune ukuva kwakhona? Ngaba nani nifuna ukuba ngabafundi bakhe?” Aza amaJuda amthuka, atsho nokuthi: “Nguwe ongumfundi walaa mfo; thina singabafundi bakaMosis. Siyazi okokuba uMosis wathetha egunyaziswa nguThixo; kodwa yena lo mfo asimazi, singazi nalapho avela khona.” Waphendula wathi: “Simanga! Nina nithi animazi apho avela khona, kanti nguye owavulileyo amehlo am. Kuyaqondakala okokuba uThixo akabeva aboni; kuphela uva abo bamhloneleyo ngokwenza oko akuthandayo. Okoko ladalwayo ihlabathi akuzange kuviwe ngomntu owakha wavula amehlo omntu ozelwe eyimfama. Ukuba lo mntu ebengaveli kuThixo nge-engenako mpela ukwenza into enje.” Amphendula athi: “Singathini ukufundiswa nguwe, ntondini eyazalelwa esonweni!” Waza ke wasikwa *endlwini yesikhungo. UYesu weva okokuba umntu lowo usikiwe. Akumfumana wathi kuye: “Uyakholwa na kuye *uNyana woLuntu?” Waphendula yena wathi: “Ndixelele ukuba ngongubani lowo, Nkosi, ukuze nam ndikholwe kuye.” Wathi kuye uYesu: “Sewumbonile; ngulo uthethayo nawe ngoku.” Waza wathi: “Ndiyakholwa, Nkosi.” Watsho waguqa phambi koYesu. Waza wathi uYesu: “Mna ndize kweli hlabathi ukuze abantu bacaluleke: ukuze iimfama zibone, bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama.” *AbaFarasi abathile ababelapho kunye naye, bamva eyithetha le nto, baza bambuza besithi: “Nathi uthi siziimfama?” Wathi kubo uYesu: “Ukuba benizizo iimfama ngeningenatyala, kodwa ngenxa yokuba nisithi niyabona, nihlala ninalo ityala.”
