Mathewu 22
1UJesu waphinda wakhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso, wathi.
2Umbuso wezulu ufana nenkosi ethile, eyayenzela indodana yayo umshado;
3Wathuma izinceku zakhe ukuba zibize abamenyiweyo emtshadweni, kepha abavumanga ukuza.
4Waphinda wathuma ezinye izinceku, wathi: ‘Tshelani abamenyiweyo ukuthi: Bhekani, sengilungisile isidlo sami, izinkabi zami nokukhuluphalisiweyo sekuhlatshiwe, konke sekulungisiwe;
5Kodwa kabananzanga, basuka, omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye waya entengweni yakhe.
6Abaseleyo bazibamba izinceku zakhe, baziphatha kabi, bazibulala.
7Kodwa inkosi yathukuthela yathukuthela, yasithuma amabutho ayo, abhubhisa labobabulali, atshisa umuzi wabo.
8Khona yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Umshado usulungile, kepha abamenyiweyo bebengafanele.
9Ngakho hambani niye ezindleleni, nibizele emshadweni bonke eningabafumana;
10Lezozinceku zaphuma zaya ezindleleni, zabutha bonke ezabafumanayo, ababi nabahle; umshado wagcwala abahlezi ekudleni.
11Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni, yabona khona umuntu owayeyembethe isembatho somtshado.
12Wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Wathula wathula.
13Inkosi yathi ezincekwini: ‘Mbopheni izinyawo nezandla, nimkhiphe, nimkhiphe ebumnyameni obungaphandle; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo.
14Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bayingcosana abakhethiweyo.
15Khona abaFarisi basuka benza icebo lokumthiya ekukhulumeni kwakhe.
16Bathuma kuye abafundi babo kanye nabakaHerode, bathi: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi uqinisile, ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso, awukhathali ngamuntu, ngokuba awubheki ubuso babantu.
17Ngakho sitshele ukuthi wena uthini? Kuvunyelwe ukuthela kuKesari noma qha?
18Kodwa uJesu ebazi ububi babo wathi: Bazenzisi, lingilingelani?
19Ngiboniseni imali yokuthela. Basebeletha kuye udenariyo.
20Wasesithi kubo: Ngokabani lomfanekiso lombhalo?
21Bathi kuye: KaKesari. Wayesethi kubo: “Ngakho-ke nikani uKesari okukaKesari; nakuNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.
22Sebezwile lawo mazwi bamangala, bamshiya, bahamba.
23Ngalolo suku kweza kuye abaSadusi, abathi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, bambuza.
24Besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wathi: Uba indoda isifa ingelamntwana, umfowabo kamngene umkakhe, amvusele umfowabo inzalo.
25Kwakukhona kithi izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala esethethe umfazi, wafa, engenanzalo, watshiya umkakhe kumfowabo.
26Kanjalo nowesibili, nowesithathu, kwaze kwaba kowesikhombisa.
27Ekugcineni kwabo bonke owesifazane wafa naye.
28Ngakho-ke ekuvukeni uyakuba ngumkabani kwabayisikhombisa na? ngoba bonke babenaye.
29UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: Nidukile, ningayazi imibhalo namandla kaNkulunkulu.
30Ngoba ekuvukeni kwabafileyo kabathathanga, kabendiswa, kodwa banjengezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ezulwini.
31Kodwa mayelana lokuvuka kwabafileyo, kalifundanga yini okwakhulunywa kini nguNkulunkulu, esithi:
32Mina nginguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, loNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe? UNkulunkulu kasiye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo.
33Kwathi amaxuku ekuzwa lokho, amangala ngokufundisa kwakhe.
34Kodwa abaFarisi sebezwile ukuthi uJesu ubathulisile abaSadusi, babuthana ndawonye.
35Omunye wabo ongumthetho wambuza, emlinga, wathi.
36Mfundisi, imuphi umyalo omkhulu emthethweni na?
37UJesu wathi kuye: “Woyithanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho.
38Lona ngumyalo wokuqala nomkhulu.
39Owesibili ofana nawo uthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.
40Kuleyo miyalo emibili kubambelela umthetho wonke nabaprofethi.
41Kwathi sebebuthene abaFarisi, uJesu wababuza wathi:
42esithi: Licabangani ngoKristu? uyindodana kabani? Basebesithi kuye: INdodana kaDavida.
43Wathi kubo: Pho uDavida wambiza njani ngoMoya ngokuthi yiNkosi, esithi:
44INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
45Ngakho uba uDavida embiza ngokuthi Nkosi, uyindodana yakhe njani?
46Akwabangakho-muntu owakwazi ukumphendula izwi;
Okuqokiwe okwamanje:

Ufuna ukuthi okuvelele kwakho kugcinwe kuwo wonke amadivayisi akho? Bhalisa noma ngena ngemvume
