NgokukaLuka 12:13-21

Omunye wesixuku wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, shono kumfowethu ukuba abelane nami ifa.” Kepha wathi kuye: “Mngane, ubani ongimise ngibe ngumahluleli noma umahlukanisi phezu kwenu na?” Wayesethi kubo: “Bhekani, nixwaye ukuhaha konke, ngokuba ukuphila komuntu akumi ngobuningi bempahla yakhe.” Wabalandisa umfanekiso, wathi: “Izwe lomuntu othile onothileyo lathela kahle. Wazindla phakathi kwakhe, wathi: ‘Ngizakwenzani, lokhu ngingenandawo engingabuthela kuyo ukudla kwami, na?’ “Wayesethi: ‘Ngizakwenza lokhu: ngizakudiliza izinqolobane zami, ngakhe ezinkulu, ngibuthele khona ukudla kwami konke nempahla yami. Bese ngithi kuwo umphefumulo wami: Mphefumulo, unempahla eningi ebekelelwe iminyaka emmingi; phumula, udle, uphuze, ujabule.’ “Kepha uNkulunkulu wathi kuye: ‘Wena siwula, ngalobu busuku umphefumulo wakho uzakubizwa kuwe; pho-ke, izinto ozilungisileyo ziyakuba ngezikabani na?’ “Kunjalo kozibekelela ingcebo enganothile kuNkulunkulu.”
