Kwathi ukuba lisweleke iwayini, unina kaJesu wathi kuye: “Kabanalo iwayini.”
UJesu wathi kuye: “Mame, ungene ngani kokwami na? Isikhathi sami asikafiki.”
Wathi unina ezincekwini: “Nayikuphi akusho kini anokwenza.”
Kwakukhona lapho izimbiza zamatshe eziyisithupha zibekwe ngesiko lokuhlamba labaJuda, ziphethe yileso naleso izilinganiso ezimbili noma ezintathu.
UJesu wathi ezincekwini: “Gcwalisani izimbiza ngamanzi;” zazigcwalisa-ke.
Wayesethi kuzo: “Yikhani manje, niyise kumphathi wokudla;” zayisa-ke. Umphathi wokudla ezwa amanzi aphenduke iwayini, engazi ukuthi livelaphi, kepha izinceku ezaziwakhile amanzi bezazi, umphathi wokudla wabiza umyeni, wathi kuye: “Wonke umuntu ubeka iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi lapha sebephuze kakhulu, akhiphe elibi kunalo; wena ugcinile elimnandi kuze kube manje.”
Lokho ukuqala kwezibonakaliso wakwenza uJesu eKhana laseGalile ebonakalisa inkazimulo yakhe; abafundi bakhe bakholwa nguye.
Ngasemva kwalokho wehlela eKapernawume, yena, nonina, nabafowabo, nabafundi bakhe, bahlala khona izinsuku ezingeziningi.
Lalisondele iPhasika labaJuda; uJesu wakhuphukela eJerusalema. Wafumana ethempelini abathengisa ngezinkomo nangezimvu nangamajuba, nabahlezi beshintsha imali. Wayesenza inkalivasi* ngezintambo, waxosha bonke ethempelini, nezimvu nezinkomo, wachitha imali yabashintshayo, wagumbuqela amatafula, wathi kwabathengisa ngamajuba: “Susani lokhu lapha, ningayenzi indlu kaBaba indlu yokuthengelana.”
Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuba kulotshwe ukuthi: “Ukushisekela indlu yakho kuyangidla.”
Ngakho-ke abaJuda baphendula, bathi kuye: “Usitshengisa isibonakaliso sini ukuba wenze lokhu na?”
UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Bhidlizani leli thempeli, ngizakulivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu.”
Ngakho bathi abaJuda: “Leli thempeli kwaba yiminyaka engamashumi amane nesithupha lakhiwa, wena-ke uzakulivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?” Kepha wayekhuluma ngethempeli lomzimba wakhe. Kuthe esevukile kwabafileyo, abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi washo njalo kubo; bakholwa ngumbhalo nezwi abelishilo uJesu.
