NgokukaJohane 10:11-21

“Ngingumalusi omuhle. Umalusi omuhle udela ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yezimvu. Okhokhelwayo engesiye umalusi, izimvu zingesizo ezakhe, ebona impisi iza, ushiya izimvu, abaleke – impisi izibhozomele, izihlakaze – ngokuba engokhokhelwayo, engazinakekeli izimvu. “Mina ngingumalusi omuhle; ngiyazazi ezami, nezami ziyangazi, njengalokhu uBaba uyangazi, nami ngiyamazi uBaba; ngidela ukuphila kwami ngenxa yezimvu. Nezinye izimvu nginazo ezingesizo ezalesi sibaya; nalezo ngimelwe ukuziletha; ziyakuzwa izwi lami, kube mhlambi munye nomalusi munye. Ngalokho uBaba uyangithanda, ngokuba ngidela ukuphila kwami ukuba ngibuye ngikuthabathe. Akakho ongangamuka ukuphila kwami, kodwa ngikudela ngokwami; nginamandla okukudela, nginamandla okubuye ngikuthabathe. Lo myalo ngiwamukele kuBaba.” Kwaba khona futhi ukwahlukana phakathi kwabaJuda ngalawo mazwi. Abaningi kubo bathi: “Unedemoni, uyahlanya; nimlalelelani na?” Abanye bathi: “Lawo mazwi akusiwo awomuntu onedemoni; imbala idemoni lingavula amehlo ezimpumputhe na?”
