Mathewu 13:24-43

Wababekela omunye umfanekiso, wathi: “Umbuso wezulu ufana nomuntu owahlwanyela imbewu enhle ensimini yakhe; Kwathi abantu besalele, kwafika isitha sakhe, sahlwanyela ukhula phakathi kukakolweni, samuka. Kodwa kwathi lapho ikhaba selimile futhi selithela, khona kwabonakala nokhula. Kwase kufika izinceku zomninindlu, zathi kuye: ‘Nkosi, awuhlwanyelanga imbewu enhle ensimini yakho na? Pho, luvelaphi ukhula? Wathi kubo: Lokhu kwenzelwe yisitha. Zathi izinceku kuye: Uyathanda-ke ukuba sihambe siyokubutha na? Kodwa wathi: Hatshi; hlezi nibuthe ukhula, nisiphule namabele kanye nalo. Kuyekeni kukhule kokubili ndawonye kuze kube sekuvuneni; Wababekela omunye umfanekiso, wathi: “Umbuso wezulu ufana nembewu yesinaphi, ayithabatha umuntu, wayihlwanyela ensimini yakhe; yona incinyane kuzo zonke izimbewu, kepha nxa isikhulile, inkulu kunazo zonke phakathi kwemifino, ibe yisihlahla, kuze kufike izinyoni zezulu, zihlale emagatsheni awo. Wakhuluma kubo omunye umfanekiso; Umbuso wezulu ufana nemvubelo, ayithatha owesifazane, wayifaka ezilinganisweni ezintathu zempuphu, kwaze kwabila yonke. Lokho konke uJesu wakukhuluma emaxukwini ngemifanekiso; futhi ngaphandle komfanekiso akakhulumanga kubo; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngomprofethi ukuthi: Ngizavula umlomo wami ngemifanekiso; ngizakhuluma izinto ebezifihliwe kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba. Khona uJesu wabamukisa abantu, wangena endlini; abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi: “Sitshele umfanekiso wokhula lwensimu. Wasephendula wathi kubo: Ohlanyela inhlanyelo enhle yiNdodana yomuntu; Insimu ngumhlaba; imbewu enhle ngabantwana bombuso; kodwa ukhula lungabantwana bomubi; Isitha esawuhlwanyelayo nguSathane; ukuvuna kungukuphela kwezwe; nabavuni yizingelosi. Ngakho njengalokhu ukhula luyabuthwa lushiswe emlilweni; kuyakuba njalo ekupheleni kwalelizwe. INdodana yomuntu iyakuthuma izingelosi zayo, zibuthe, zikhiphe embusweni wayo konke okukhubekisayo, nabenza okubi; zibaphose esithandweni somlilo; lapho kuyakuba khona ukulila nokugedla amazinyo. Khona abalungileyo bayakukhanya njengelanga embusweni kaYise wabo. Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.
