UJesu waphinda wakhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso, wathi.
Umbuso wezulu ufana nenkosi ethile, eyayenzela indodana yayo umshado;
Wathuma izinceku zakhe ukuba zibize abamenyiweyo emtshadweni, kepha abavumanga ukuza.
Waphinda wathuma ezinye izinceku, wathi: ‘Tshelani abamenyiweyo ukuthi: Bhekani, sengilungisile isidlo sami, izinkabi zami nokukhuluphalisiweyo sekuhlatshiwe, konke sekulungisiwe;
Kodwa kabananzanga, basuka, omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye waya entengweni yakhe.
Abaseleyo bazibamba izinceku zakhe, baziphatha kabi, bazibulala.
Kodwa inkosi yathukuthela yathukuthela, yasithuma amabutho ayo, abhubhisa labobabulali, atshisa umuzi wabo.
Khona yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Umshado usulungile, kepha abamenyiweyo bebengafanele.
Ngakho hambani niye ezindleleni, nibizele emshadweni bonke eningabafumana;
Lezozinceku zaphuma zaya ezindleleni, zabutha bonke ezabafumanayo, ababi nabahle; umshado wagcwala abahlezi ekudleni.
Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni, yabona khona umuntu owayeyembethe isembatho somtshado.
Wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Wathula wathula.
Inkosi yathi ezincekwini: ‘Mbopheni izinyawo nezandla, nimkhiphe, nimkhiphe ebumnyameni obungaphandle; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.
Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bayingcosana abakhethiweyo.
Khona abaFarisi basuka benza icebo lokumthiya ekukhulumeni kwakhe.
Bathuma kuye abafundi babo kanye nabakaHerode, bathi: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu.
Ngakho sitshele ukuthi wena uthini? Kuvunyelwe ukuthela kuKesari noma qha?
Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, lingilingelani?
Ngiboniseni imali yokuthela. Basebeletha kuye udenariyo.
Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lomfanekiso lombhalo?
Bathi kuye: KaKesari. Wayesethi kubo: “Ngakho-ke nikani uKesari okukaKesari; nakuNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.
Sebezwile lawo mazwi bamangala, bamshiya, bahamba.
Ngalolo suku kweza kuye abaSadusi, abathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, bambuza.
Besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba indoda isifa ingelamntwana, umfowabo kamngene umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo.
Kwakukhona kithi izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala esethethe umfazi, wafa, engenanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.
Kanjalo nowesibili, nowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.
Ekugcineni kwabo bonke owesifazane wafa naye.
Ngakho-ke ekuvukeni uyakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa na? ngoba bonke babenaye.
UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: Nidukile, ningayazi imibhalo namandla kaNkulunkulu.
Ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathanga, kabendiswa, kodwa banjengezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.
Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:
Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe? UNkulunkulu kasiye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo.
Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa lokho, amangala ngokufundisa kwakhe.
Kodwa abaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubathulisile abaSadusi, babuthana ndawonye.
Omunye wabo ongumthetho wambuza, emlinga, wathi.
Mfundisi, imuphi umyalo omkhulu emthethweni na?
UJesu wathi kuye: “Woyithanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho.
Lona ngumyalo wokuqala nomkhulu.
Owesibili ofana nawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
Kuleyo miyalo emibili kubambelela umthetho wonke nabaprofethi.
Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza wathi:
esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? uyindodana kabani? Basebesithi kuye: INdodana kaDavida.
Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ngoMoya ngokuthi yiNkosi, esithi:
INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi Nkosi, uyindodana yakhe njani?
Akwabangakho-muntu owakwazi ukumphendula izwi
