NgokukaMarku 11:11-17

UJesu wangena eJerusalema, waya ethempelini; esekubukile konke waphuma, sekuhlwile, waya eBethaniya kanye nabayishumi nambili. Ngangomuso ekuphumeni kwabo eBethaniya walamba. Wabona umkhiwane ukude, unamaqabunga, wasondela ethi mhlawumbe angathola utho kuwo; esefikile kuwo akafumananga lutho, amaqabunga odwa, ngokuba kwakungesiso isikhathi samakhiwane. UJesu wakhuluma, wathi kuwo: “Akungabe kusadla noyedwa isithelo kuwe kuze kube phakade.” Abafundi bakhe bakuzwa. Bafika eJerusalema. Wangena ethempelini, waqala ukuxosha abathengisayo nabathengayo ethempelini, wagumbuqela amatafula abashintshelana imali nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamajuba; wayengavumi ukuba umuntu adabule ithempeli ethwele isitsha. Wafundisa, wathi kubo: “Akulotshiwe yini ukuthi, ‘indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuthi indlu yokukhuleka yezizwe zonke’ na? Kepha nina niyenze ‘umhume wabaphangi.’ ”
