Kepha uma uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalelo.” Wathi kuye: “Miphi na?” UJesu wathi: “Yile: Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga; yazisa uyihlo nonyoko; wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.” Insizwa yathi kuye: “Konke lokho ngikugcinile; ngisasilalelweni na?” UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma uthanda ukuphelela, hamba uthengise ngempahla yakho, uphe abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; uze ungilandele.” Yathi insizwa ukuba izwe leli zwi, yamuka idabukile, ngokuba yayinengcebo enkulu. Kepha uJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Onothileyo uyakungena kalukhuni embusweni wezulu. Futhi ngithi kini: Kulula ukuba ikamela lingene ngentunja yosungulo kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.” Sebezwile lokho abafundi bethuka kakhulu, bathi: “Pho, kungasindiswa bani na?” Kepha uJesu ebabheka wathi kubo: “Kubantu akunakwenzeka; kepha kuNkulunkulu kungenzeka konke.” Khona uPetru wathatha wathi kuye: “Bheka, thina sishiye konke, sakulandela. Pho, siyakutholani na?” Wathi kubo uJesu: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Nina eningilandeleyo, ngokuphindukuzalwa lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni senkazimulo yayo, nani niyakuhlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi eziyishumi nambili, nahlulele izizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli.
