NgokukaJohane 4:46-53

Ngakho-ke waphinda waya eKhana eGalile, lapho aguqula khona amanzi aba yiwayini. Kwakukhona induna ethile yenkosi eyayigulelwa yindodana yayo eKhaphernawume. Kwathi ukuba izwe ukuthi uJesu ufikile eGalile evela eJudiya, yaya kuye, yamncenga ukuba ehlele eKhaphernawume aphilise indodana yayo, ngokuba yayisizokufa. Ngakho-ke uJesu wathi enduneni: “Ngaphandle kokuba nina nibone izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, anisoze nakholwa.” Induna yenkosi yathi kuye: “Nkosi, yehla engakafi umntanami.” UJesu wathi kuyo: “Hamba, indodana yakho isiphilile.” Induna yakholwa yizwi uJesu alikhuluma kuyo, yahamba. Kwathi isehla, izinceku zayo zayihlangabeza, zathi: “Umntanakho uphilile.” Yazibuzisisa izinceku isikhathi aqale ngaso ukuba ngcono. Zathi-ke kuyo: “Umkhuhlane umyeke izolo ngehora lesikhombisa.” Ngakho-ke wazi ukuthi yilelo hora uJesu asho ngalo kuye wathi: “Indodana yakho isiphilile.” Wakholwa nomndeni wakhe wonke.
