NgokukaMathewu 19:23-30

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. Nalowo oshiye izindlu, noma abafowabo, noma odadewabo, noma uyise, noma unina, noma abantwana, noma amazwe ngenxa yegama lami, uyakwamukeliswa okuphindwe kaningi, adle ifa lokuphila okuphakade. Kepha abaningi abokuqala bayakuba ngabokugcina, nabokugcina babe ngabokuqala.
