Laba abayishumi nambili uJesu wabathuma, wabayala wathi: “Ningayi ngendlela yabezizwe, ningangeni emzini wamaSamariya; kodwa yanini kakhulu ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu ka-Israyeli. Ekuhambeni kwenu shumayelani nithi: ‘Umbuso wezulu ususondele.’ Phulukisani abagulayo, nivuse abafileyo, nihlambulule abanochoko, nikhiphe amademoni. Namukelisiwe ngesihle, yiphani ngesihle.
