UMARKO 4:26-34

Kwakhona uYesu wathi: “Ukulawula kukaThixo kunokufaniswa nokuthi umntu ahlwayele imbewu entsimini, aze alale avuke imihla ngemihla, ibe yona imbewu intshula ikhula ngohlobo angalwaziyo. Kaloku umhlaba uvelisa iziqhamo ngokwawo: kuqala iba likhaba, ize ibe yindubulo, ize ibe sisikhwebu esivuthiweyo. Xa ke ithe yavuthwa ingqolowa, ingenwa ngerhenqe kwangoko, kuba ixesha lokuvuna lifikile.” Kwakhona uYesu wathi: “Singakufanekisa nantoni na ukulawula kukaThixo? Singakuzekelisa ngamzekeliso mni? Kunjengokhozo lwembewu yemostade. Ukhozo lwemostade lulolona luncinane kuzo zonke iintlobo zembewu emhlabeni, kodwa xa luthe lwatyalwa, lukhula lube lukhulu kunazo zonke izityalo, lube namasebe amakhulu kangangokuba iintaka zibe nokwakhela iindlwane zazo kuwo zisemthunzini.” UYesu wayelithetha kubo ilizwi ngemizekeliso emininzi elolu hlobo, ebafundisa kangangoko babenako ukuqonda. Ebethetha nabo ngemizekeliso kuphela, kodwa akuba yedwa nabafundi bakhe wayebacacisela yonke into.
