NgokukaJohane 8:23-32

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. Khona uJesu wathi kubaJuda abase bekholiwe nguye: “Uma nimi ezwini lami, ningabafundi bami isibili; niyakulazi iqiniso, neqiniso liyakunikhulula.”
