Sebefikile esixukwini, kweza kuye umuntu, waguqa ngamadolo phambi kwakhe, wathi: “Nkosi, hawukela indodana yami, ngokuba inesithuthwane, iyahlukumezeka kakhulu; kukaningi iwela emlilweni nasemanzini. Ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bahluleka ukuyiphulukisa.”
UJesu waphendula wathi: “Maye, kinina, sizukulwane esingakholwayo nesiphambeneyo; kuyoze kube nini nginani na? Kuyoze kube nini nginibekezelela na? Yiletheni lapha kimi.”
UJesu wayeselikhuza idimoni, laphuma kuyo; umfana wasinda ngaleso sikhathi.
Abafundi base beya kuJesu bebodwa, bathi: “Kungani thina singakwazanga ukulikhipha idimoni na?”
Wayesethi kubo: “Kungenxa yokukholwa kwenu okuncane. Ngokuba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: uma ninokukholwa okungangembewu yesinaphi, niyakuthi kule ntaba: ‘Suka lapha, uye laphaya,’ iyakusuka, ngokuba akukho okuyakunahlula. Kepha lolu hlobo lwedimoni aluphumi ngaphandle kokukhuleka nokuzila ukudla.”
Besahamba eGalile, uJesu wathi kubo: “INdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa ezandleni zabantu; bayakuyibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izakuvuswa.”
Badabuka kakhulu.
Kuthe sebefikile eKhaphernawume, abaqoqi bemali yethempeli baya kuPhethro, bambuza, bathi: “Kungani umfundisi wenu engayitheli imali yethempeli na?”
Wathi: “Uyayithela.”
Esengene endlini, uJesu wamandulela ngenkulumo, wathi: “Uthini umbono wakho, Simoni ngalokhu na? Amakhosi omhlaba ayithatha kobani intela yempahla neyekhanda; emadodaneni awo noma ebafokazini na?”
Wathi: “Ebafokazini.”
UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile ukungayikhokhi. Kepha-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye olwandle, uphonse udobo, uthathe inhlanzi eyakubanjwa kuqala; kuyakuthi lapho usuyivule umlomo, ufumane imali; yithathe, ubanike yona, uthelele Mina nawe.”
