UYesu wabenzela umzekeliso ukubakhuthaza ukuba bahlale bethandaza bengatyhafi, wathi: “Kwidolophu ethile kwakukho umgwebi owayengamoyiki uThixo, engahloneli mntu. Ke kuloo dolophu kwakukho mhlolokazi uthile ubemana esiza kuye athi: ‘Ndikhulule kummangaleli wam.’ Kwaba mzuzu engavumi, kodwa kamva waqiqa esithi: ‘Nakuba ndingamoyiki uThixo, ndingahloneli namntu, noko, ngenxa yokuba lo mhlolokazi endikhathaza, ndomgwebela ndimkhulule, hleze ndide ndikruquke nguye.’ ”
Yaqhuba ke iNkosi yathi: “Kuveni okuthethwa ngulo mgwebi ungenabulungisa. Ngaba yena uThixo akayi kubaphindezelela na abanyulwa bakhe abakhala kuye imini nobusuku? Akayi kukhawuleza na ukubanceda? Ngenene, uya kubaphindezelela kamsinya. Kodwa ke, akufika yena *uNyana woLuntu, ngaba wolufumana na ukholo ehlabathini apha?”
Ke kaloku uYesu uthethe lo mzekeliso kwabathile, ababekholose ngokuzicingela ukuba bangamalungisa, bebadelile abanye: “Amadoda amabini enyuka aya *endlwini kaThixo, esiya kuthandaza. Enye *yayingumFarasi, enye ingumqokeleli-rhafu.
“Ke yena umFarasi wayemi ethandaza esithi: ‘Thixo, ndiyabulela kuba ndingènjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, izikhohlakali, abakrexezi, ndingènjengaye nalo mqokeleli-rhafu. Ndizila ukutya kabini ngeveki. Ndinikela ngesishumi sako konke endikuzuzayo.’
“Ke yena umqokeleli-rhafu wayemi qelele, engathandi nokuwaphakamisela ezulwini amehlo akhe. Wayemana eziphothula izandla, esithi: ‘Thixo, yiba netarhu kum, mna moni.’ Inene, wagoduka umqokeleli-rhafu lowo elilungisa kuThixo kunomFarasi lowo; kuba kaloku wonke umntu oziphakamisayo uya kuthotywa, nozithobayo uya kuphakanyiswa.”
Abantu babesiza neentsana zabo kuYesu ukuze azibeke izandla. Beyibonile loo nto, abafundi babakhalimela. Ke yena uYesu wazibizela kuye iintsana, esithi: “Bayekeni abantwana beze kum, ningabanqandi, kuba ábalawulwa nguThixo ngabanjengabo. Ndithi kuni, inene, othe akakuthobela njengomntwana ukulawulwa nguThixo, soze abuve ubuncwane bolo lawulo.”
Umphathi othile wabuza kuYesu esithi: “Mfundisi olungileyo, ndingenza ntoni na ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade?”
UYesu wathi kuye: “Kutheni usithi ndilungile nje? Akukho mntu ulungileyo. Mnye kuphela olungileyo: nguThixo. Uyayazi imithetho ethi uze ungakrexezi; uze ungabulali; uze ungebi; uze ungangqini ubuxoki; beka uyihlo nonyoko. ”
Ke yena wathi: “Zonke ezo zinto ndazigcina kwasebuncinaneni bam.”
Ekuvile oko uYesu, wathi kuye: “Kusekho into enye oyisweleyo: zithengise zonke izinto onazo, wabele amahlwempu imali leyo; woba nobutyebi ezulwini; uze kum, ube ngumlandeli wam.” Ezivile ezo ndawo, wadana, kuba wayesisinhanha.
UYesu, ekubona ukudana kwakhe, wathi: “Hayi ubunzima bokuba izityebi zikuxhamle ukulawulwa nguThixo. Kungâlula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi sixhamle ubuncwane bokulawulwa nguThixo. ”
Abo bevayo ke bathi: “Ngubani ke onokusindiswa?”
Waza uYesu wathi: “Oko aba umntu akunakwenzeka, kunokwenziwa nguThixo.”
Ke uPetros wathi: “Khangela, thina sishiye zonke izinto sakulandela.”
Waza uYesu wathi kubo: “Ndithi kuni, inene, akukho namnye ushiye indlu, nokuba ngumfazi, nokuba ngabantakwabo, nokuba ngabazali, nokuba ngabantwana, ngenxa yokufuna ukulawulwa nguThixo, ongayi kuthi ngoku ngalo eli xesha amkele ngokuphinda-phindiweyo, aze kwiphakade elizayo amkele ubomi obungunaphakade.”
