Luka 11:1-13

Kwasekusithi ekhuleka endaweni ethile, eseqedile, omunye wabafundi bakhe wathi kuye: Nkosi, sifundise ukukhuleka, njengoba uJohane laye wafundisa abafundi bakhe. Wathi kubo: “Nxa nikhuleka, anothi: ‘Baba wethu osezulwini, malingcweliswe igama lakho. Umbuso wakho mawuze. Mayenziwe intando yakho emhlabeni njengasezulwini. Usiphe isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla; Usithethelele izono zethu; ngoba lathi sibathethelela bonke abalecala kithi. Ungasingenisi ekulingweni; kodwa usikhulule kokubi. Wathi kubo: “Ngumuphi kini ongathi enomngane, aye kuye phakathi kobusuku, athi kuye: ‘Mngane, ngiboleke izinkwa ezintathu; Ngokuba kufike kimi umngane wami ohambweni, kepha ngingenalutho engingambeka phambi kwakhe na? Ophakathi aphendule athi: Ungangihluphi; anginakuvuka ngikunike. Ngithi kini: Noma engazukuvuka amnike, ngokuba engumngane wakhe, nokho ngenxa yokuphikelela kwakhe uyakuvuka amnike konke akudingayo. Lami ngithi kini: Celani, lizaphiwa; funani, niyakufumana; ngqongqothani, lizavulelwa. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo ocelayo uyaphiwa; nalowo ofunayo uyathola; lalowo oqoqodayo uzavulelwa. Uma indodana icela isinkwa kunoma ubani kini onguyise, ayinike itshe na? noma icela inhlanzi, ayinike inyoka esikhundleni senhlanzi na? Noma uma icela iqanda, ayinike ufezela na? Ngakho-ke uma nina enibabi nikwazi ukubapha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, kakhulu kangakanani uYihlo osezulwini uzakubapha abacela kuye uMoya oNgcwele na?
