UJesu ebona isixuku simzungezile, wayala ukuba kuwelelwe ngaphesheya. Esinye isazimthetho seza kuye, sathi: “Mfundisi, ngizakukulandela, nomaphi lapho uya khona.”
UJesu wayesethi kuso: “Izimpungushe zinemigodi, nezinyoni zezulu zinezidleke, kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayinandawo lapho ingacamelisa khona ikhanda.”
Kepha omunye wabafundi bakhe wathi kuye: “Nkosi, ngivumele ngihambe ngiyombela ubaba kuqala.”
Kepha uJesu wathi kuye: “Ngilandele, yekela abafileyo bambele abafileyo babo.”
UJesu wayesengena esikebheni, abafundi bakhe bamlandela. Nakho-ke sekuvuka isiphepho esikhulu olwandle, isikebhe saze sambozwa ngamagagasi, kodwa uJesu wayelele. Basondela, bamvusa, bethi: “Nkosi, sisindise, siyabhubha.”
UJesu wayesethi kubo: “Yini nesabe kangaka, nina eninokukholwa okuncane na?”
Wavuka wayesewukhuza umoya nolwandle, kwaba nokuthula okukhulu.
Abantu bamangala, bathi: “Unhloboni lo muntu olalelwa umoya nolwandle na?”
Kwathi esefikile ngaphesheya ezweni lamaGadara, wahlangana nabantu ababili abanamadimoni, bephuma emathuneni. Babeyingozi kakhulu kangangokuthi kwakungekho muntu owayengalokotha adlule ngaleyo ndlela. Bezwakala sebememeza bethi: “Ufunani kithi Ndodana kaNkulunkulu na? Uze lapha ukuzosizwisa ubuhlungu, kungakabi yisikhathi na?”
Kwakukhona buqamama umhlambi omkhulu wezingulube, ziklabile. Amadimoni amncenga, athi: “Uma usikhipha, sithumele singene emhlanjini wezingulube.”
UJesu wathi kuwo: “Hambani.”
Ayesephuma, angena ezingulubeni. Bheka, umhlambi wonke wakhalakathela esiweni, waphonseka olwandle, wafela emanzini. Ababezelusile babaleka, baya emzini, babika konke okwakwenzekile, nalokho okwakwenzeke kwabanamadimoni. Umuzi wonke waphuma ukuyobona uJesu; kwathi lapho bembona, bamncenga ukuba aphume aphele emingceleni yakwelakubo.
