Wabizela kuye abafundi bakhe abayishumi nambili, wabanika amandla phezu kwawomoya abangcolileyo, ukuba babakhiphe, nawokuphulukisa izifo zonke nezifo zonke.
Amagama abaphostoli abayishumi nambili yilawa; owokuqala nguSimoni othiwa uPetro, loAndreya umfowabo; uJakobe kaZebedewu, noJohane umfowabo;
uFiliphu, loBartolomewu; uTomase, noMathewu umthelisi; uJakobe ka-Alfewu, noLebewu othiwa futhi uThadewu;
uSimoni umKhanani, noJudasi Iskariyothe owamkhaphelayo.
Laba abayishumi nambili uJesu wabathuma, wabayala wathi: “Ningayi endleleni yabezizwe, ningangeni emzini wamaSamariya;
Kodwa yanini kakhulu ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu kaIsrayeli.
Ekuhambeni kwenu shumayelani nithi: ‘Umbuso wezulu ususondele.’
Phulisani abagulayo, nihlambulule abanochoko, nivuse abafileyo, nikhiphe amademoni;
Ningaphathi golide, nasiliva, nathusi emixhakeni yenu;
nasikhwama sohambo, namabhantshi amabili, nazicathulo, naludondolo, ngokuba isisebenzi sifanele ukudla kwaso.
“Nakumuphi umuzi noma umuzana eniyakungena kuwo, funani ofaneleyo kuwo; nihlale khona nize nimuke.
Nxa ningena endlini, niyibingelele.
Uma indlu ifanele, ukuthula kwenu makube phezu kwayo; kepha uma ingafanele, ukuthula kwenu makubuyele kini.
Njalo loba ngubani ongayikunamukela engalaleli amazwi enu, nxa liphuma kuleyondlu kumbe kulowomuzi, thintithani uthuli lwenyawo zenu.
Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuyakuba ngcono kulo izwe laseSodoma nelaseGomora ngosuku lokwahlulelwa kunakulowo muzi.
