Emkile apho, uYesu waya kwelakwaJuda naphesheya kweJordan. Kwabuya ke kwahlanganisana izihlwele ngakuye, waza wathi ngokwesiqhelo sakhe wazifundisa.
Bafika *abaFarasi, bathi ngokumlinga bambuza ukuba kuvumelekile na ukuba indoda imale umfazi wayo. Waphendula wathi kubo: “UMosis waniwisela mthetho mni na?”
Bathi bona: “UMosis uyayivumela indoda ukuba ibhale incwadi yokuqhawula umtshato, ize ke imale umfazi wayo.”
Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo: “Wanibhalela lo mthetho ngenxa yokuba lukhuni kweentliziyo zenu, kodwa kwasekuqalekeni kokudalwa ‘uThixo wabenza bayindoda nomfazi. Yiyo ke loo nto indoda ishiya uyise nonina nje, inamathele kumkayo, baze bamanyane.’ Ngako oko ke àbasebabini; banye. Abo ke ngoko uThixo abamanyileyo mabangahlulwa mntu.”
Endlwini abafundi bakhe babuya bambuza uYesu ngayo loo nto. Wathi ke kubo: “Othe wamala umfazi wakhe, wazeka omnye, uyakrexeza. Nokuba umfazi uthe wayala indoda yakhe, wendela kwenye, uyakrexeza.”
Kwathi xa kwakuziswa abantwana kuYesu ukuba abachukumise, basuka abafundi babakhalimela abo babazisayo. Ke kaloku ekubonile oku uYesu, wakhathazeka, wathi kubo: “Bayekeni abantwana beze kum, ningabanqandi, kuba ábalawulwa nguThixo ngabanjengabo. Ndithi kuni, inene, othe akakuthobela njengomntwana ukulawulwa nguThixo, soze abuve ubuncwane bolo lawulo.” Waza wabasingatha abantwana, wabasikelela ebabeka izandla.
Xa wayephuma uYesu ehamba, umntu othile weza ebaleka, waguqa phambi kwakhe, wambuza esithi: “Mfundisi olungileyo, ndingenza ntoni ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade?”
UYesu ke wathi kuye: “Kutheni usithi ndilungile nje? Akukho mntu ulungileyo. Mnye kuphela olungileyo: nguThixo. Uyayazi le mithetho ithi: ‘Uze ungabulali; uze ungakrexezi; uze ungebi; uze ungangqini ubuxoki; uze ungaqhathi; beka uyihlo nonyoko.’ ”
Waphendula yena wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, zonke ezo zinto ndazenza kwasebuncinaneni bam.”
UYesu wathi akumondela, weva emthanda, wathi kuye: “Kukho nto inye uyisweleyo: hamba uye kuzithengisa zonke izinto onazo, uyiphe amahlwempu imali leyo; woba nobutyebi ezulwini; uze kum ke, undilandele.” Wadana akukuva oko, wemka ebuhlungu, kuba wayesisinhanha.
UYesu ke esinga-singile, wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Hayi ubunzima bokuba izityebi zikuxhamle ukulawulwa nguThixo!”
Ke abafundi bakhe bamangaliswa ngala mazwi akhe. Waza uYesu waphinda wathetha nabo, wathi kubo: “Bantwana bam, hayi ubunzima bokuxhamla ukulawulwa nguThixo. Kungálula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi sixhamle ubuncwane bokulawulwa nguThixo.”
Bamangaliswa kunene, bathi omnye komnye: “Ngubani ke onokusindiswa?”
Ondele kubo, uYesu wathi: “Kubantu oku akunakwenzeka, kodwa kuThixo akunakungenzeki, kuba zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuThixo.”
Waza uPetros wathi kuye: “Khangela, thina sishiye zonke izinto sakulandela.”
Waphendula uYesu wathi: “Ndithi kuni, inene, akukho namnye ushiye indlu, nokuba ngabantakwabo, nokuba ngoodade wabo, nokuba ngunina, nokuba nguyise, nokuba ngabantwana, nokuba ngamasimi, ngenxa yam nangenxa yeendaba ezimnandi, ongayi kuthi amkele kalikhulu: izindlu, nabantakwabo, noodade wabo, noonina, nabantwana, namasimi, zikunye neentshutshiso kweli phakade; aze ke athi kwelizayo iphakade amkele ubomi obungunaphakade. Baninzi ke phofu abaya kuthi bengabokuqala babe ngabokugqibela, nabokugqibela abaya kuba ngabokuqala.”
