Akuba uYesu ebuye wawela uLwandle lwaseGalili ngesikhitshana, kwahlanganisana ngaselwandle apho isihlwele esikhulu. Kwathi ke kwafika igosa lendlu yesikhungo, eligama linguJayiro, elathi lakumbona, lakhahlela, laza lambongoza, lisithi: “Intombi yam isindekile. Khawuze ubeke izandla zakho phezu kwayo, ukuze ichache, iphile.”
UYesu ke wahamba nalo, ephahlwe yindimbane enkulu eyayimxinile.
Kwakukho nomfazi owayehlamba engaphezi iminyaka elishumi elinambini esifa, ephatheke kabuhlungu kumagqirha amaninzi. Wayedleke konke awayenako, engancedakali, kodwa eya egula ngakumbi. Evile ke ngoYesu, wasondela kuye ngasemva esesihlweleni apho, wayichukumisa ingubo yakhe; kuba wayesithi: “Ukuba ndithe ndachukumisa nokuba yingubo yakhe le, ndophila.”
Lanqamka kwangoko igazi, waziva emzimbeni wakhe ukuba uphilile kweso sifo. Ngoko nangoko uYesu waqonda ukuba kukho amandla aphumileyo kuye, wabheka ngasemva esendimbaneni apho, wathi: “Ngubani lo uchukumise ingubo yam?”
Abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: “Ubona nje ukuba isihlwele sikuxinile, ungáthini ke ukuthi: ‘Ngubani lo undichukumisileyo?’ ”
Noko yena wasinga-singa ukuba ambone lowo uyenzileyo le nto. Uthe ke umfazi lowo, ekuqondile okwenzeke kuye, weza esoyika, engcangcazela, wazikhahlela phambi kwakhe, wamxelela inyaniso yonke. UYesu wathi kuye: “Ntombi yam, ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile. Hamba ngoxolo, uphile kweso sifo sakho.”
Kwathi uYesu esathetha, kwafika abakulogosa lendlu yesikhungo, besithi: “Intombi yakho ibhubhile; usamkhathazelani na uMfundisi?”
UYesu yena, eyivile loo nto, wathi kwigosa lendlu yesikhungo: “Musa ukoyika; kuphela kholwa wena.” Ke akavumela mntu ukuba ahambe naye, ngaphandle koPetros noYakobi noYohane, umninawe kaYakobi. Bafika ke emzini wegosa lendlu yesikhungo, waza uYesu wasibona isiphithi-phithi sabalilayo nabenza isijwili esikhulu. Akungena, wathi kubo: “Yini na ukuba nenjenje ukuphithizela nokulila? Akafanga umntwana; ulele.”
Basuka bamwa ngentsini. Wabakhuphela phandle ke bonke, wathatha uyise womntwana nonina, nâbo bafundi babenaye, wangena apho wayekhona umntwana. UYesu ke wambamba ngesandla umntwana, wathi kuye: “Talita, kum;” oko kukuthi: “Ntombazana, vuka!”
Yavuka kwangoko intombazana leyo, yahamba-hamba. (Yayineminyaka elishumi elinambini izelwe.) Bamangaliswa abantu, bakhwankqiswa. UYesu wabayala kakhulu ukuba bangaxeleli mntu, waza wathi mayinikwe into etyiwayo intombazana leyo.
