“Uma ningithanda, niyakuyigcina imiyalo yami. Ngiyakucela kuBaba ukuba aniphe omunye uMduduzi ukuba ahlale kini kuze kube phakade; uMoya weqiniso, izwe elingemamukele, ngokuba lingamboni, futhi lingamazi. Nina niyamazi Yena, lokhu uhlala nani, uyakuba kini.
“Angiyukunishiya niyizintandane, kodwa ngiyakubuya ngize kini; kungesikhathi eside, izwe ngeke lisangibona, kepha nina niyangibona, ngokuba ngiyaphila, nani nizakuphila. Ngalolo suku niyakukwazi ukuthi Mina ngikuBaba, nani nikimi, nami ngikini.
“Lowo onemiyalo yami ayigcine, nguyena ongithandayo. Ongithandayo uyakuthandwa nguBaba; nami ngiyakumthanda, ngizibonakalise kuye.”
UJuda, ongesiye u-Iskariyothe, wathi kuye: “Nkosi, kungani ukuba uthi uyakuzibonakalisa kithi, kodwa ungazibonakalisi kulo izwe na?”
UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Uma umuntu engithanda, uyakugcina izwi lami. UBaba uyakumthanda; siyakuza kuye, sihlale naye. Ongangithandiyo akawagcini amazwi ami. Izwi enilizwayo akusilo elami, kodwa ngelikaBaba ongithumileyo.
“Nginitshelile lokhu ngisahleli nani. Kepha uMduduzi, uMoya oNgcwele, uBaba ayakumthumela egameni lami, uyakunifundisa konke, anikhumbuze konke enginitshele khona.
“Ukuthula ngikushiya kini, ukuthula kwami nginipha khona. Ukunipha kwami akufani nokupha kwezwe. Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki, futhi ingesabi.
