NgokukaLuka 17:1-10

Wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Akunakwenzeka ukuba zingabi bikho izikhubekiso, kodwa maye, kulowo eziza ngaye! Kungangcono kuye ukuba itshe lokusila ligaxwe entanyeni yakhe, aphonswe olwandle, kunokuba akhubekise abe munye kulaba abancinyane.” “Qaphelani nina. Uma umfowenu ona, mkhuze, uma ephenduka, mthethelele. Uma ekona kuze kube kasikhombisa ngosuku, elokhu ebuyela kuwe kasikhombisa, athi: ‘Ngiyaphenduka,’ womthethelela.” Abaphostoli base bethi eNkosini: “Yandisa ukukholwa kwethu.” INkosi yayisithi: “Uma beninokukholwa okungangohlamvu lwesinaphi, beningathi kulesi sihlahla somthombe: ‘Zimbuka, utshaleke olwandle,’ sinilalele. “Ngubani kini ongathi enenceku elimayo noma eyelusayo, bese kuthi isanda kubuya nje endle, athi kuyo: ‘Sondela ngokushesha, uhlale phansi, udle’ na? Kunalokho akayukusho yini kuyo, athi: ‘Faka iphinifa lakho, ungilungisele engizokudla, ngidle, ngiphuze, andukuba wena udle, uphuze’ na? Uyayibonga yini inceku, ngokuba ikwenzile lokho ekuyalelweyo na? Kanjalo nani, uma senikwenzile konke enikuyalelweyo, anothi: ‘Asizinceku zalutho, ngokuba sikwenzile lokho obekufanele ukuba sikwenze.’ ”
