NgokukaMathewu 16:21-26 ZUL20

Kusukela lapho, uJesu waqala ukubachazela abafundi bakhe ukuthi kufanele aye eJerusalema, ahlushwe ngokuningi ngamalunga, nabaphristi abakhulu nezazimthetho, abulawe, kepha avuswe ngosuku lwesithathu. UPhethro wagudluka naye, wayeseqala ukumkhuza, ethi: “Phinde, Nkosi, lokho akusoze kwenzeke kuwe.” Kepha uJesu waphenduka wathi kuPhethro: “Buyela emuva kwami, Sathane; uyisikhubekiso kimi, ngokuba awukuqondi okukaNkulunkulu, kepha okwabantu.” UJesu wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Uma umuntu ethanda ukuza emuva kwami, makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe, uyakulahlekelwa yikho; kepha olahlekelwa ngukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yami, uyakukufumana. Ngokuba kuyakumsiza ngani umuntu, uma ezuza izwe lonke, kepha alahlekelwe ngukuphila kwakhe na? Yini angayikhipha umuntu, ibe yisihlengo sokuphila kwakhe na?
