NgokukaMathewu 22:1-14

UJesu wathatha wakhuluma futhi kubo ngemifanekiso, wathi: “Umbuso wezulu ufaniswa nomuntu oyinkosi, owenzela indodana yakhe umshado. Wathuma izinceku zakhe ukubiza abamenyiweyo emshadweni; kepha abavumanga ukuza. “Waphinda wathuma ezinye izinceku, wathi: ‘Shonini kwabamenyiweyo ukuthi: Bhekani, sengilungisile ukudla kwami; izinkabi zami nokunonileyo sekuhlatshiwe; konke sekulungile, wozani emshadweni.’ “Kepha badelela, bahamba; omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye waya entengweni yakhe. Abaseleyo babamba izinceku zakhe, baziphatha kabi, bazibulala. Kepha inkosi yathukuthela, yathuma amabutho ayo, yabulala labo babulali, yashisa umuzi wabo. “Khona yathi ezincekwini zayo: ‘Umshado usulungiselwe, kepha abamenyiweyo bebengafanele; ngakho-ke hambani niye ezinhlanganweni zezindlela, nibizele emshadweni bonke eningabafumana.’ Lezo zinceku zaphuma, zaya ezindleleni, zabutha bonke ezabafumanayo, ababi nabahle; indlu yomshado yagcwala abahleziyo ekudleni. “Kuthe inkosi ingena ukubona abahleziyo ekudleni, yabona khona umuntu obengayembethe ingubo yomshado; yathi kuye: ‘Mngane, ungene kanjani lapha ungayembethe ingubo yomshado na?’ Kepha wathula. “Khona inkosi yathi ezincekwini: ‘Mbopheni izinyawo nezandla, nimphonse ebumnyameni obungaphandle; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.’ “Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bayingcosana abakhethiweyo.”
