NgokukaJohane 6:60-69

Lapho abaningi kubafundi bakhe bekuzwa lokho, bathi: “Leli lizwi lilukhuni, pho ngubani ongaliqonda na?” Kepha uJesu, azi ukuthi abafundi bakhe bayakhononda ngalokho, wathi kubo: “Ngabe lokho kuyanicasula yini na? Pho-ke niyakuthini lapho nibona iNdodana yomuntu yenyukela lapho yavela khona na? NguMoya ongophilisayo, inyama ayisizi ngalutho. Amazwi engiwakhulume kini angumoya, futhi angukuphila. Kepha bakhona abanye kini abangakholwayo.” UJesu wayazi kwasekuqaleni ukuthi ngobani abangakholwayo, nokuthi ngubani ozakumkhaphela. Wayesethi: “Yingakho-ke ngithe kini: akekho ongeza kimi uma engakuphiwe lokho nguBaba.” Kusukela lapho, abaningi kubafundi bakhe babuyela emuva, ababe besahamba naye. Ngakho-ke uJesu wathi kwabayishumi nambili: “Nani senifuna ukungihlamuka yini na?” USimoni Phethro wamphendula, wathi: “Nkosi, siyakuya kubani na? Amazwi okuphila okuphakade akuwe. Thina siyakholwa, futhi siyazi ukuthi Wena ungoNgcwele kaNkulunkulu.”
