“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.
“Nizwile, nganitshela ngathi: ngiyahamba, kodwa ngiyakubuya ngize kini. Uma ningithanda beniyojabula, ngokuba ngiya kuBaba, lokhu uBaba mkhulu kunami. Manje senginitshelile kungakenzeki, ukuze nikholwe lapho sekwenzekile. Angisezukukhuluma nani ngenabe, ngokuba umbusi waleli lizwe uyeza, nokho-ke akanamandla kimi, kepha ukuze izwe lazi ukuthi ngiyamthanda uBaba, nokuthi ngenza njengalokhu uBaba engiyalile.
“Sukumani, sihambe lapha.”
