NgokukaLuka 13:6-10

Wayesebalandisa lo mfanekiso wokuthi: “Umuntu othile wayenomkhiwane utshalwe esivinini sakhe; weza efuna isithelo kuwo, akasifumananga. Wayesethi kuso isisebenzi sesivini: ‘Bheka, sekuyiminyaka emithathu ngiza ngifuna isithelo kulo mkhiwane, ngingasifumani; wunqume; yini ukuba uyone futhi inhlabathi?’ “Sona saphendula, sathi kuye: ‘Nkosi, wuyeke nangalo mnyaka, ngize ngivukuze inhlabathi emaceleni awo, ngiwuthelele umquba; mhlawumbe ungaze uthele ngozayo; kepha uma kungenjalo, wowunquma.’ ” Wayefundisa kwelinye lamasinagoge* ngesabatha.
