Kwasekusiza kuye abafundi bakhe bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, sisindise, siyabhubha. Wathi kubo: “Nesabelani nina bokukholwa okuncane na? Wasevuka, wayikhuza imimoya nolwandle; kwaba khona ukuthula okukhulu. Kepha abantu bamangala, bathi: “Umuntu onjani lo ukuthi nemimoya nolwandle kuyamlalela na? Esefike ngaphesheya ezweni lamaGergasi, kwahlangana naye ababili ababenamademoni, bephuma emathuneni, benolaka olukhulu, kwaze kwangadlula muntu ngaleyondlela. Bheka, bamemeza bathi: “Sinamsebenzi muni nawe Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu na? Uze lapha ukusihlupha singakafiki isikhathi? Kwakukhona khatshana labo umhlambi wezingulube ezinengi usidla.
