Esakhuluma lokho kubo; kwafika umphathi othile, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “Indodakazi yami isanda kufa khona manje, kodwa woza, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, izakuphila.”
UJesu wayesesuka-ke, wamlandela, ekanye nabafundi bakhe.
Kwakukhona owesifazane owayenesifo somopho iminyaka eli-12, wasondela emuva kukaJesu, wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe. Ngokuba wayezindla, ethi: “Uma nje ngingathinta ingubo yakhe, ngizakusindiswa.”
UJesu waphenduka, wambona, wathi: “Yima isibindi, ndodakazi; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.”
Owesifazane wasinda ngaleso sikhathi.
UJesu esefikile endlini yomphathi, ebona khona ababethi bemitshingo nesixuku esethukile, wathi kubo: “Dedani, ngokuba intombazane ayifile, kodwa ilele.”
Bamhleka usulu. Kuthe isixuku sesikhishiwe, wangena, wayibamba ngesandla; yavuka intombazana. Umbiko ngalokhu wasabalala kulo lonke lelo lizwe.
Ngenkathi uJesu edlula lapho, walandelwa yizimpumputhe ezimbili ezazimemeza zithi: “Ndodana kaDavide, sihawukele!”
Esefikile endlini, izimpumputhe zeza kuye. UJesu wathi kuzo: “Niyakholwa yini ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu na?”
Zathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi.”
Wayesethinta amehlo azo, wathi: “Makwenzeke kini njengokukholwa kwenu.”
Ayesevuleka amehlo azo. UJesu wazidonsa ngendlebe, wathi: “Qaphelani ukuba lokhu kungaziwa muntu.”
Kepha zathi ziphuma nje, zamdumisa kulo lonke lelo lizwe.
