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.
UJesu wasuka lapho, waya ngasolwandle iGalile, wenyukela entabeni, wahlala phansi lapho. Isixuku esikhulu seza kuye silethe izinyonga, izimpumputhe, izimungulu, izilima, nabanye abaningi. Bababeka ngasezinyaweni zakhe; wabaphulukisa. Isixuku saze samangala sibona izimungulu zikhuluma, abakhubazekile besinda, izinyonga zihamba, nezimpumputhe zibona. Base bemdumisa uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
UJesu wababiza abafundi bakhe, wathi: “Ngiyasihawukela isixuku, ngokuba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu sihleli nami, singenakho esingakudla. Angithandi ukubamukisa belambile, funa baphelelwe ngamandla endleleni.”
Abafundi bathi kuye: “Pho singazitholaphi lapha ehlane izinkwa eziningi ezingenela isixuku esingaka na?”
UJesu wathi kubo: “Ninezinkwa ezingaki na?”
Bathi: “Eziyisikhombisa, nezinhlanzana ezimbalwa.”
Wayala isixuku ukuba sihlale phansi, wathatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa nezinhlanzi, wabonga, wazihlephula, wanika abafundi bakhe, bona baphakela izixuku. Badla bonke, basutha, babutha imvuthuluka eseleyo, yagcwala iziqabetho eziyisikhombisa. Abadlayo kwakungamadoda ayizi-4 000, ngaphandle kwabesifazane nezingane.
