17UJesu waphendula wathi: “Akuhlanjululwanga abayishumi na? kodwa baphi abayisishiyagalolunye?

21futhi kabayikusho ukuthi: Khangelani nanku! noma, bheka, lapho! ngoba bhekani, umbuso kaNkulunkulu uphakathi kwenu.
22Wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Kuyakufika izinsuku, lapho niyakufisa ukubona lube lunye lwezinsuku zeNdodana yomuntu, kepha aniyikulubona.
23Bazakuthi kini: Khangelani lapha; noma, bheka laphaya: ungawalandeli, ungabalandeli.

25Kodwa kuqala imelwe ukuhlupheka ngokuningi, yaliwe yilesi sizukulwane.
26Njengoba kwenzeka emihleni kaNowa, kuyakuba njalo nasemihleni yeNdodana yomuntu.
