Wabuye wabatshela omunye umzekeliso, wathi: “Umbuso wezulu ufana nomuntu wesifazane, owathatha imvubelo wayifaka emicengezini emithathu yempuphu, kwaze kwabila konke.”
UJesu wakukhuluma konke lokhu ezixukwini ngemizekeliso, akukho lutho olunye ake walukhuluma kubo ngaphandle kwemizekeliso, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwashiwo ngomphrofethi ukuthi:
“Ngizakuvula umlomo wami,
ngikhulume ngemizekeliso.
Ngikhulume izinto ezifihlakeleyo,
selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba.”
UJesu wayesezihlakaza izixuku, waya endlini. Abafundi bakhe basondela kuye, bathi: “Sichazele ngomzekeliso wokhula ensimini.”
Wayesebaphendula, ethi: “Ohlwanyela imbewu enhle yiNdodana yomuntu. Insimu yizwe, imbewu enhle yilabo abangabantwana bombuso; ukhula ngabantwana bomubi. Kepha isitha esaluhlwanyelayo nguSathane, ukuvuna kungukuphela kwesikhathi, abavuni yizingelosi. Ngakho-ke njengalokhu ukhula lubuthwa lushiswe emlilweni, kuyakuba kanjalo ekupheleni kwezwe. INdodana yomuntu iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo, zibuthe, zikhiphe embusweni wayo konke okukhubekisayo nabenza okubi, zibaphonse esithandweni somlilo; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo. Kepha abalungileyo bayakukhanya njengelanga embusweni kaYise. Onezindlebe makezwe.
“Umbuso wezulu ufana nengcebo efihlwe ensimini, umuntu wayifumana, wayithukusa; wahamba ethokozile, wathengisa ngakho konke anakho, wayithenga leyo nsimu.
“Futhi umbuso wezulu ufana nomthengi ofuna amapharele amahle; kuthi angalithola ipharele elilodwa lenani elikhulu, ahambe athengise ngakho konke anakho, alithenge.
“Umbuso wezulu ufaniswa futhi nenetha elaphonswa olwandle, lawola inhlanganisela yezinhlanzi. Kuthe seligcwele, balidonsela ogwini, bahlala phansi, bakhetha ezinhle, bazifaka ezitsheni, kwathi ezimbi bazilahla. Kuyakuba kanjalo ekupheleni kwezwe. Kuyakuphuma izingelosi, zahlukanise ababi kwabalungileyo. Ababi zibaphonse esithandweni somlilo; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.
“Nikuqondile yini konke lokhu na?”
Bathi kuye: “Yebo.”
Wayesethi kubo: “Ngakho-ke yileso naleso sazimthetho esifundiselwe umbuso wezulu, sifana nomuntu, umnumzane okhipha engcebeni yakhe okusha nokudala.”
Kwathi lapho uJesu eseqedile ukukhuluma ngemizekeliso, wasuka lapho. Esefikile emzini wakubo, wabafundisa esinagogeni labo, baze bamangala, bathi: “Lo ngabe ukuthatha kuphi lokhu kuhlakanipha nala mandla na? Lo akasiyo yini indodana yombazi? Unina akusiye yini uMariya, nabafowabo akusibo yini oJakobe, uJosefa, uSimoni noJuda na? Odadewabo abekho yini phakathi kwethu lapha na? Pho-ke lo ukuthatha kuphi konke lokhu na?”
Base bekhubeka ngaye, kepha uJesu wathi kubo: “Umphrofethi akadelelwa ngaphandle kwasezweni lakubo nasendlini yakwabo.”
Akayenzanga lapho imisebenzi eminingi yamandla ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo.
