NgokukaMathewu 21:23-27

Kuthe engena ethempelini, kweza kuye abapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe, esafundisa, bathi: “Ukwenza lokhu ngagunya lini na? Futhi ngubani okunike leli gunya na?” UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Nami ngizakunibuza izwi libe linye; uma ningitshela lona, nami ngizakunitshela ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini. Ukubhapathiza kukaJohane kwavelaphi, ezulwini nokuba kubantu, na?” Bakhulumisana bodwa, bathi: “Uma sithi: ‘Ezulwini,’ uzakuthi kuthi: ‘Pho, anikholwanga nguye ngani na?’ Kepha uma sithi: ‘Kubantu,’ siyasesaba isixuku; ngokuba bonke bathi uJohane ungumprofethi.” Base bemphendula uJesu, bethi: “Asazi.” Wayesethi kubo naye: “Nami anginitsheli ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini.”
