NgokukaMathewu 13:1-9

Ngalolo lusuku uJesu waphuma endlini, wahlala ngasolwandle. Kwabuthana izixuku eziningi, waze wangena esikebheni, wahlala phansi; isixuku sonke sasimi ogwini. Wakhuluma kubo okuningi ngemizekeliso, wathi: “Kwake kwaphuma umhlwanyeli wayohlwanyela. Ekuhlwanyeleni kwakhe enye imbewu yawela ngasendleleni, kwafika izinyoni zezulu zayidla, zayiqeda. Enye imbewu yawela edwaleni, lapho kwakungenamhlabathi omningi khona. Yamila masinyane, ngokuba yayingekho emhlabathini ojulileyo. Kepha kwathi lapho seliphumile ilanga, yabuna, ngokuba ingenazimpande ezigxilileyo. Enye yawela emeveni, ameva akhula, ayiminyanisa. Enye yawela emhlabathini ovundileyo; yathela izithelo, ngekhulu, ngama-60 nangama-30. Onezindlebe makezwe.”
