Kwathi lapho uJesu ehla entabeni, walandelwa yizixuku eziningi. Kwase kuza umuntu onochoko, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “Nkosi, uma uthanda, ungangihlambulula.”
UJesu welula isandla sakhe, wamthinta, wathi: “Ngiyathanda; hlambuluka.”
Wayesehlambuluka ngokushesha ochokweni lwakhe. UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Qaphela, ungatsheli muntu, kepha hamba uyozibonakalisa kumphristi, unikele ngomnikelo owayalelwa nguMose, kube ngubufakazi kubo.”
Kwathi lapho uJesu engena eKhaphernawume, kweza kuye induna yekhulu, yamnxusa, yathi: “Nkosi, umfana wami ulele endlini, ufe uhlangothi; usezinhlungwini ezinzima.”
