NgokukaJohane 8:12-30

Ngakho uJesu waphinda wakhuluma kubo, wathi: “Mina ngingukukhanya kwezwe; ongilandelayo kasoze ahamba ebumnyameni, kodwa woba nokukhanya kokuphila.” Khona bathi kuye abaFarisi: “Uyazifakazela wena; ubufakazi bakho ubuqinisile.” UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Noma ngizifakazela mina, ubufakazi bami buqinisile, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi ngavelaphi nokuthi ngiyaphi; kepha nina anazi ukuthi ngivelaphi nokuthi ngiyaphi. Nina nahlulela ngokwenyama, kepha mina angahluleli muntu. Nakuba ngahlulela, ukwahlulela kwami kungokuqinisileyo, ngokuba ngingengedwa, kodwa yimina nongithumileyo. Yebo, kulotshiwe nasemthethweni wakini ukuthi ubufakazi babantu ababili bungobuqinisileyo. Mina ngingozifakazelayo; noBaba ongithumileyo ufakaza ngami.” Base bethi kuye: “Uphi uyihlo na?” UJesu waphendula ngokuthi: “Anazi nami naBaba; uma beningazi mina, nga nimazi noBaba.” Lawo mazwi wawakhuluma ngasemphongolweni weminikelo efundisa ethempelini; akubangakho ombambayo, ngokuba isikhathi sakhe sasingakafiki. Khona waphinda wathi kubo: “Ngiyamuka mina, niyakungifuna, nifele ezonweni zenu; lapho ngiya khona mina, ningeze nina.” Base bethi abaJuda: “Imbala uzakuzibulala yini, lokhu ethi: ‘Lapho ngiya khona mina, ningeze nina,’ na?” Wathi kubo: “Nina ningabaphansi, mina ngingowaphezulu; nina ningabaleli zwe, mina angingowaleli zwe. Ngakho-ke ngathi kini nizakufela ezonweni zenu; ngokuba uma ningakholwa ukuthi nginguye, nizakufela ezonweni zenu.” Base bethi kuye: “Wena ungubani na?” Wathi kubo uJesu: “Lokho enganitshela khona kwasekuqaleni. Nginezinto eziningi enginokuzikhuluma nokwahlulela ngani, kepha ongithumileyo uqinisile, nami engakuzwa kuye ngikukhuluma ezweni.” Kabazanga ukuthi ukhuluma kubo ngoYise. Wayesethi uJesu: “Nxa seniyiphakamisile iNdodana yomuntu, khona-ke nizakwazi ukuthi nginguye nokuthi angenzi lutho ngokwami, kodwa ngikhuluma lokhu njengokuba uBaba engifundisile. Ongithumileyo unami, kangishiyanga ngedwa, ngokuba ngenza njalo okuthandeka kuye.” Esakhuluma lokho, abaningi bakholwa nguye.
