Wayesebuye waqala ukufundisa ngaselwandle; kwabuthana kuye isixuku esikhulu, waze wangena emkhunjini, wahlala olwandle; isixuku sonke sasiphezu kolwandle emhlabathini.
Wabafundisa izinto eziningi ngemifanekiso, wakhuluma kubo ekufundiseni kwakhe.
Lalelani; Bheka, kwaphuma umhlwanyeli ukuyohlwanyela;
Kwathi ekuhlanyeleni kwakhe, enye yawela ngasendleleni, kweza izinyoni zezulu, zayidla zayiqeda.
Enye yawela edwaleni, lapho eyayingenamhlabathi omningi khona; yasihluma masinyane, ngoba yayingelakutshona komhlabathi;
Kodwa seliphumile ilanga, lahangulwa; futhi ngenxa yokuthi yayingenampande, yabuna.
Enye yawela phakathi kwameva, ameva akhula ayiminyanisa, kodwa ayizange ithele.
Enye yawela emhlabathini omuhle, yathela isithelo, yakhula, yanda; yazala, enye ngamashumi amathathu, enye ngamashumi ayisithupha, enye ikhulu.
Wasesithi kubo: Onezindlebe zokuzwa makezwe.
Eseyedwa, ababemphahlile kanye nabayishumi nambili bambuza ngomfanekiso.
Wathi kubo: “Nina niphiwe ukwazi imfihlakalo yombuso kaNkulunkulu;
ukuze bebona babone, bangaboni; nokuzwa, bezwe, bangaqondi; funa noma nini baphenduke, bathethelelwe izono zabo.
Wasesithi kubo: Kaliwazi yini lumfanekiso? Pho niyakuyazi kanjani imifanekiso yonke na?
Umhlanyeli uhlanyela ilizwi.
Laba ngasendleleni, lapho okuhlanyelwe khona ilizwi; kodwa nxa sebezwile, uSathane uyafika masinyane, alisuse izwi elihlwanyelwe ezinhliziyweni zabo.
Kanjalo laba ngabahlwanyelwe edwaleni; abathi sebelizwile ilizwi, balamukele masinyane ngokuthokoza;
njalo kabanampande phakathi kwabo, bahlala okwesikhathi; kuthi sekuvele ukuhlupheka kumbe ukuzingelwa ngenxa yelizwi, bahle bakhubeke.
Laba yilabo abahlanyelwe emeveni; abalizwayo izwi,
Kepha iminako yaleli zwe, nokukhohlisa kwengcebo, nezinkanuko zezinye izinto, kungena kuminyanise izwi, lingatheli.
Laba yilabo abahlwanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle; abalizwayo izwi, balamukele, bathele isithelo, omunye ngamashumi amathathu, omunye ngamashumi ayisithupha, omunye ngekhulu.
Wathi kubo: “Isibani siyalethwa ukuba sibekwe phansi kwesitsha noma ngaphansi kombhede na? futhi hhayi ukuthi ibekwe othini lwesibani?
Ngokuba akukho okufihliweyo okungayikubonakaliswa; futhi akukho okufihliwe, ngaphandle kokuthi kuvele obala.
Uma ekhona onezindlebe zokuzwa, makezwe.
Wathi kubo: “Kuqapheleni enikuzwayo;
Ngokuba onakho uyakuphiwa, kepha ongenakho uyakwamukwa nalokho anakho.
