UMARKO 3:1-6

Waphinda uYesu wangena *endlwini yesikhungo. Apho kwakukho umntu owayome isandla. Babemlalele ke befuna ukubona ukuba womphilisa na *ngoMhla woPhumlo, ukuze bammangalele. UYesu wathi kuloo mntu wayome isandla: “Phakama, uze ngaphambili.” Waza wathi kubo: “Okuvumelekileyo ngoMhla woPhumlo kukwenza okulungileyo, kukwenza okubi; kukuphilisa, kukubulala; kusini na?” Kwathi cwaka. Akuba ebasingasingile, ebuhlungu ngenxa yokuqaqadeka kweentliziyo zabo, wathi kumntu lowo: “Solule isandla sakho.” Wasolula, saza saphila isandla sakhe. Kwangoko ke baphuma *abaFarasi, baya kubhunga *namaHerode, becebisana ngokubulala uYesu.
