NgokukaLuka 14:15-23

Esekuzwile lokho omunye wababehlezi naye esidlweni, wathi kuye: “Ubusisiwe lowo oyakudla isinkwa embusweni kaNkulunkulu.” Kepha uJesu wathi kuye: “Umuntu othile wenza isiphihli sedili, wamema abaningi, wayesethumela inceku yakhe ngesikhathi sedili, kulabo abamenyiwe, ukuyokuthi: ‘Wozani, ngokuba sekulungisiwe konke.’ “Kepha bonke ngothi lwabo, baqala ukuzilandulela, bebeka izaba; owokuqala wathi kuye: ‘Ngithenge insimu, kudingekile ukuba ngihambe ngiyoyibona; ngiyakucela, ngixolisele impela.’ “Omunye wathi: ‘Ngithenge amabhanqa ezinkabi eziyisihlanu, ngisayozihlola; ngiyakucela, ngixolisele impela.’ “Omunye wathi: ‘Ngisanda kuthatha umfazi, ngalokho-ke angiphumeleli ukuza.’ “Inceku isibuyile, yayibikela inkosi yayo ngalokho. Umninindlu wathukuthela, khona wayesethi encekwini yakhe: ‘Phuthuma, uye emigwaqweni nasemihubheni yomuzi; ungenise lapha abampofu, abakhubazekile, izimpumputhe, nezinyonga.’ “Yathi inceku: ‘Nkosi, sekwenziwe lokho obuyale ngakho, kepha isekhona indawo.’ “Inkosi yathi encekwini: ‘Phuma uye emigwaqweni nasezindleleni, ubanxenxe ukuba beze ukuze indlu yami igcwale phama.’
