IzEnzo 1:1-11

Umlando wokuqala ngawenza, Theyofilu, ngakho konke uJesu aqala ukukwenza nokukufundisa, kwaze kwafika usuku akhushulwa ngalo, esebalayile ngoMoya oNgcwele abaphostoli ayebakhethile; azibonakalisa kubo ephila emva kokuhlupheka kwakhe ngobufakazi obuningi obungenaphutha, ebonwa yibo izinsuku ezingamashumi amane, ekhuluma izinto eziphathelene nombuso kaNkulunkulu; Kwathi esebuthene labo, wabalaya ukuthi bangasuki eJerusalema, kodwa balindele isithembiso sikaBaba, elasizwa ngami. Ngokuba uJohane wayebhapathiza ngamanzi; kodwa lina lizabhabhathizwa ngoMoya oNgcwele kungakadluli insuku ezinengi. Sebebuthene bambuza, bathi: “Nkosi, uyawubuyisela ngalesi sikhathi umbuso ku-Israyeli na? Wathi kubo: “Akusikhona okwenu ukwazi izikhathi nezinkathi uBaba azimise ngamandla akhe. Kepha nizakwamukeliswa amandla, uMoya oNgcwele esefikile phezu kwenu, nibe ofakazi bami eJerusalema, naseJudiya lonke, naseSamariya, kuze kube sekugcineni komhlaba. Esetshilo lezizinto, bekhangele wakhutshulwa; ifu lamsusa emehlweni abo. Kwathi besagqolozele ezulwini enyuka, bheka, amadoda amabili emi ngakubo embethe izingubo ezimhlophe; Athi futhi: Madoda aseGalile, nimeleni nigqolozele ezulwini na? UJesu lo, onyuswe kini enyuselwa ezulwini, uyakuza kanjalo njengalokho nimbonile eya ezulwini.
