Bephumile apho, babehamba becanda kwelaseGalili; wayengathandi ukuba kwazi bani oko; kuba wayebafundisa abafundi bakhe, esithi kubo, uNyana woMntu unikelwa ezandleni zabantu; baya kumbulala; aze emveni kokuba ebulewe, abuye avuke ngomhla wesithathu. Baye bengakuqondi oko kuthetha; baye besoyika nokumbuza. Weza kufika eKapernahum. Akuba esekhaya, wayebabuza esithi, Nibe nicamanga ntoni na phakathi kwenu endleleni? Bahlala bathi cwaka ke; kuba endleleni babebambene ngokuthi, ngubani na omkhulu phakathi kwabo. Akuba ehleli phantsi, wababiza abalishumi elinababini, wathi kubo, Ukuba ubani uthanda ukuba ngowokuqala, woba ngowokugqibela kwabo bonke, nomlungiseleli wabo bonke. Uthabathe umntwana, wammisa phakathi kwabo, wamwola, wathi kubo. Othe wamkela noko amnye wabantwana abanje, egameni lam, wamkela mna; nothe wamkela mna, akamkeli mna, wamkela lowo wandithumayo. uYohane wamphendula wathi: “Mfundisi, sabona umntu ekhupha iindimoni egameni lakho, kodwa samalela ke, kuba engasilandeli thina. Wathi ke uYesu, Musani ukumalela; kuba akukho namnye uya kwenza umsebenzi wamandla egameni lam, aze abe nako ukuthetha kakubi ngam. Kaloku ongachasiyo ungecala lethu. Kuba othe waniseza nendebe le yamanzi egameni lam, ngokuba ningabakaKristu, inene ndithi kuni, akasayi kuphulukana nomvuzo wakhe. Nothe wakhubekisa noko amnye waba bancinane bakholwayo kum, ngekumlungele kanye ukuba ubegangxwe ilitye lokusila entanyeni yakhe, waphoswa elwandle. Nokuba isandla sakho siyakukhubekisa, sinqumle; kukulungele kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisilima, kunokuba uthi, unezandla zozibini, uye esihogweni, emlilweni ongacimiyo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacimiyo. Nokuba unyawo lwakho luya kukhubekisa, lunqumle; kukulungele kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, kunokuba uthi, uneenyawo zombini, uphoswe esihogweni, emlilweni ongacimiyo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacimiyo. Ukuba iliso lakho liya kukhubekisa, linyothule; kukulungele kanye ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo, apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacimiyo. Kuba bonke baya kugalelwa ityuwa ngomlilo, athi onke amadini agalelwe ityuwa ngetyuwa. Ityuwa ilungile yona, kodwa ukuba ithe ityuwa ayaba nabutyuwa, noyivakalisa ngantoni na? Yibani netyuwa phakathi kwenu, nihlale ninoxolo omnye komnye.
