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.”
UJesu ebona ukuthi isixuku sigijima siya ndawonye, wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wathi kuwo: “Wena moya oyisimungulu nesithulu, ngiyakuyala, ngithi kuwe: phuma kuye, ungaphindi futhi ungene kuye.”
Umoya wamemeza, wamhlukumeza kakhulu, waphuma kuye; umntwana waba njengofileyo, baze bathi abaningi: “Usefile.”
Kepha uJesu wambamba ngesandla, wamphakamisa; wayesesukuma.
Sebengenile endlini, abafundi bakhe bambuza ngasese, bathi: “Kungani thina sehlulekile ukuwukhipha na?”
UJesu wathi kubo: “Lolu hlobo lungephume ngalutho, kuphela ngokukhuleka.”
