NgokukaLuka 8:40-48

Kepha ekubuyeni kwakhe uJesu isixuku samthakazela; ngokuba bonke babembhekile. Bheka, kwafika indoda, nguJayiru igama layo, ingumphathi wesinagoge,* yaziphonsa phansi ngasezinyaweni zikaJesu, yamncenga ukuba angene endlini yayo. Ngokuba yayinendodakazi eyodwa kungathi ineminyaka eyishumi nambili, yona isifa. Kepha esahamba, izixuku zamminyanisa. Owesifazane owayenomopho iminyaka eyishumi nambili, esekhokhele izinyanga konke abephila ngakho, engenakuphulukiswa muntu, weza ngasemuva, wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe; kwanqamuka masinyane ukugobhoza kwegazi lakhe. UJesu wathi: “Ngubani ongithintileyo na?” Bephika bonke, wathi uPetru nababe naye: “Nkosi, izixuku ziyakuminyanisa, zikucindezele.” Kepha uJesu wathi: “Ukhona ongithintileyo, ngokuba ngizwile kuphuma amandla kimi.” Owesifazane ebona ukuthi kanakufihleka, weza ethuthumela, eziphonsa phansi phambi kwakhe, walanda phambi kwabantu bonke isisusa sokuba amthinte nokuthi usinde khona lapho. Wayesethi kuye: “Ndodakazi, ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba, ube nokuthula.”
