NgokukaMakhu 9:14-24

Kwathi lapho sebefikile kubafundi, babona isixuku esikhulu sibangungile nezazimthetho ziqagulisana nabo. Isixuku sathi singambona uJesu samangala, sagijima saqonda kuye, sambingelela. Wayesebabuza ethi: “Yini eniphikisana ngayo nabo na?” Omunye wesixuku wamphendula, wathi: “Mfundisi, ngilethe kuwe indodana yami enomoya wobumungulu. Njalo lapho uyibamba, uyiqumba phansi, ikhihlize amagwebu, igedle amazinyo, futhi yome ibe luqhotho. Ngikhulumile nabafundi bakho ukuba bawukhiphe, kodwa behluleka.” UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Maye, sizukulwane esingenakukholwa, kuyoze kube nini nginibekezelela na? Yiletheni kimi.” Base beyiletha kuye. Kwathi umoya ungambona, wayihlukumeza kakhulu ngokushesha, yafumbeka phansi emhlabathini, yazigingqa ikhihliza amagwebu. UJesu wambuza uyise wathi: “Sekunesikhathi esingakanani kwenzeka kuyo lokhu na?” Wathi: “Kusukela isengumntwana. Lo moya usuyiphonse kaningi emlilweni nasemanzini ukuba uyibhubhise, kodwa uma unamandla okwenza okuthile, sihawukele, usisize.” UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Uthi: ‘Uma unamandla!’ Konke kuyenzeka kulowo okholwayo.” Uyise womntwana wayesememeza masinyane, wathi: “Ngiyakholwa, siza ukungakholwa kwami.”
