NgokukaMathewu 15:21-28

UJesu esephumile lapho, wahamba, waya ezifundeni eThire naseSidoni. Kwase kufika owesifazane waseKhanani evela emingceleni yakhona, wakhala wathi: “Ngihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide! Indodakazi yami ihlaselwe kabi yidimoni.” Kepha akamphendulanga ngazwi. Kwase kusondela kuye abafundi bakhe, bamncenga bathi: “Mmukise, ngokuba uyakhala emva kwethu.” Kepha uJesu waphendula wathi: “Angithunyelwanga kwabanye, kodwa kuphela ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakwa-Israyeli.” Owesifazane weza, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “Nkosi ngisize.” UJesu waphendula wathi: “Akukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, usiphonse ezinjeni.” Owesifazane wathi: “Yebo, Nkosi, kepha nezinjana zidla imvuthuluka ewa etafuleni labaninizo.” Khona uJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Awu mame, kukhulu ukukholwa kwakho; makwenzeke kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho.” Indodakazi yakhe yasinda ngaleso sikhathi.
