uMateyu 20:17-34

Ke kaloku, enyuka uYesu esiya eYerusalem, wabathabatha abafundi abalishumi elinababini ngasese endleleni, wathi kubo, Niyabona, siyenyuka siya eYerusalem; waye uNyana woMntu eya kunikelwa kubabingeleli abakhulu nakubabhali, kwaye baya kumgweba ukuba afe, bamnikele kuzo iintlanga ukuba zidlale ngaye, zimtyakatye, zimbethelele emnqamlezweni, athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke. Ngelo xesha kweza kuye unina woonyana bakaZebhedi, enoonyana bakhe, equbuda, ecela into kuye. Wathi ke yena kuye, Uthanda ntoni na? Athi kuye, Yithi aba nyana bam bobabini bahlale, omnye ngasekunene kwakho, omnye ngasekhohlo, ebukumkanini bakho. Uphendule ke uYesu wathi, Aniyazi into eniyicelayo. Ninako na ukuyisela indebe endiza kuyisela, nibhaptizwe ngobhaptizo endibhaptizwa ngalo mna? Bathi kuye, Sinako. Athi kubo, Okunene indebe yam niya kuyisela, nobhaptizo endibhaptizwa ngalo mna niya kubhaptizwa kwangalo; kodwa kona ukuhlala ngasekunene kwam nangasekhohlo kwam asikwam ukupha ngako, asikwam ukupha ngako; kwabo kulungiselwe bona nguBawo. Bekuvile ke oko abalishumi, babacaphukela abo bazalwana bobabini. Ke yena uYesu, ebabizele kuye, wathi, Niyazi ukuba abaphathi beentlanga bayazigagamela, nabo bazizikhulu benza ngegunya kuzo. Ze kungabi njalo ke phakathi kwenu; osukuba enga angaba mkhulu phakathi kwenu, makabe ngumlungiseleli wenu; nosukuba efuna ukuba ngowokuqala phakathi kwenu, makabe ngumlungiseleli wenu; kwanjengokuba uNyana woMntu engezanga kulungiselelwa; weza kulungiselela, nokuncama ubomi bakhe, bube yintlawulelo yokukhulula abaninzi. Bakubon’ ukuba bayaphuma eYeriko, walandelwa yindimbane enkulu. Nanko kuhleli iimfama zimbini ngasendleleni, zathi, zakuva ukuba kudlula uYesu, zadanduluka, zisithi, Senzele inceba, Nkosi, nyana kaDavide. Ke kaloku indimbane yazikhalimela ukuba zithi tu; kwaba kukhona ke zidandulukayo, zisithi, Senzele inceba, Nkosi, nyana kaDavide. Wema uYesu, wazibiza wathi, Ninga ndinganenzela ntoni na? Zithi kuye, Nkosi, ukuba kuvulwe amehlo ethu. Wasikwa ke yimfesane uYesu, wawachukumisa amehlo azo, zaba nokubona kwaoko ngamehlo azo, zamlandela.
