Dlulisela

UJesu waphendula wathi: “Owokuqala yilo othi: ‘Yizwa Israyeli, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi, yinye. Woyithanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho, nangawo wonke amandla akho.’ Owesibili yilo: ‘Womthanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.’ Awukho omunye umyalo omkhulu kunaleyo.”

Wayesebiza abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: lo mfelokazi ompofu unikele kakhulu kunabo bonke abanikele emphongolweni, ngokuba bonke bacaphune kokuningi abanakho banikela, kodwa lo mfelokazi ekusweleni kwakhe, unikele ngakho konke anakho, konke abephila ngakho.”

UJesu wayesehlala phansi, maqondana nomphongolo womnikelo, wayebuka ukuthi isixuku sinikela kanjani umnikelo emphongolweni. Abaningi abacebileyo babenikela kakhulu. Kepha kwafika umfelokazi ompofu wanikela ngamafadingi amabili, okuyisitebela.

Ukuyithanda ngenhliziyo yonke, nangengqondo yonke, nangamandla wonke, nokuthanda umakhelwane njengalokhu umuntu ezithanda yena kuyayedlula yonke iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo.”

UJesu wathi kubo: “Nikani uKhesari okukaKhesari, noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.” Bamangala ngaye.
