UJesu waphendula, wathi kuwo: “Akungabe kusadla muntu isithelo kuwe kuze kube phakade. Abafundi bakhe bezwa lokho. Bafika eJerusalema; uJesu wangena ethempelini, waqala ukuxosha ababethengisa nababethenga ethempelini, wagumbuqela amatafula abashintshela imali, nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamajuba; Wayengavumeli muntu ukuthi adabule ithempeli ethwele isitsha. Wafundisa, wathi kubo: “Akulotshiwe yini ukuthi: ‘Indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuthi yindlu yokukhuleka yezizwe zonke’? kepha nina niyenze umhume wabaphangi.
