uMarko 3:1-21

Wabuya wangena endlwini yesikhungu; Kwaye kukho apho umntu onesandla esomileyo. Baye ke bemlalele ukubona ukuba womphilisa na ngesabatha; ukuze bammangalele. Athi kuloo mntu unesandla esomileyo, Phakama uze phakathi. Athi kubo, Okuvumelekileyo ngesabatha kukwenza okulungileyo, kukwenza okubi, kusini na? Kukusindisa, kukubulala, kusini na? Bathi tu ke bona. Akuba ebasingasingile ngengqumbo, ebuhlungu ngenxa yokuqaqadeka kwentliziyo yabo, wathi kumntu lowo, Solule isandla sakho. Wasolula, saphila ke isandla sakhe, saba ngesinye. Baphuma abaFarisi, benza kwaoko ibhunga namaHerode ngaye, lokuba bamtshabalalise. Wemka uYesu nabafundi bakhe, waya elwandle; yamlandela inkitha enkulu yaseGalili nakwelakwaYuda naseYerusalem, nakwaIdume, naphesheya kweYordan; NakwelaseTire neTsidon, inkitha enkulu, yakuva ukuba zininzi kwazo izinto abezenza, yeza kuye. Waza wathi kubafundi bakhe, umkhonjana umlinde ngenxa yendimbane, hleze bamxinzelele phantsi. Kuba wayephilise abantu abaninzi; ngokokude bathi ngunga phezu kwakhe, ukuze bamchukumise bonke ababenezibetho; Nabo oomoya abangcolileyo babesithi, xa sukuba bembona, bawe phantsi kuye, bakhale, besithi, Wena unguye uNyana kaThixo. Wabakhalimela ukuba bangamtyhili. Unyuke ke intaba, abizele kuye abo abethanda ukubabiza yena ngokwakhe; beza kuye. Wamisela abalishumi elinababini, ukuze babe naye, nokuba abathume baye kushumayela; nokuba negunya lokuphilisa izifo, nelokukhupha iidemon; Kwaye uSimon awamthiya ngokuba nguPetros; noYakobi kaZebhedi, noYohane umzalwana kaYakobi; Waza wabathiya igama elinguBhowanerges, oko kukuthi, oonyana beendudumo; noAndreya, noFilipu, noBhartolomeyu, noMateyu, noTomas, noYakobi ka-Alifeyu, noTadeyu, noSimon umKanan, NoYuda Sikariyoti, lowo wamngcatshayo naye, bangena endlwini. Kwabuya kwahlanganisana isihlwele, ngokokude bangabi nakutya isonka. Bakuva ke oogxa bakhe, baphuma besiya kumbamba; kuba babesithi, Uyageza.
