Marku 9:17-27

Omunye wesixuku waphendula wathi: “Mfundisi, ngilethe kuwe indodana yami enomoya oyisimungulu; Nomaphi lapho embamba khona, uyamdwengula, akhihlize amagwebu, agedle amazinyo, ashwaqeke; ngikhulume nabafundi bakho ukuba bawukhiphe; kepha abakwazanga. Wasephendula wathi kuye: O sizukulwane esingakholwayo, koze kube nini nginani? koze kube nini nginibekezelela? mletheni kimi. Basebemletha kuye; kwathi embona, masinyane umoya wamdweba; yawa phansi, yagiqika ikhihliza amagwebu. Wabuza kuyise wathi: “Sekulesikhathi esinganani enze lokhu kuye? Wathi: Kusukela ebuntwaneni. Umphose kaningi emlilweni nasemanzini ukuba umbhubhise; kepha uma unamandla okwenza utho, sihawukele, usisize. UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma ukholwa, zonke izinto zingenzeka kokholwayo. Wahle wamemeza uyise womntwana, wathi ngezinyembezi: Ngiyakholwa, Nkosi; siza ukungakholwa kwami. UJesu ebona ukuthi isixuku sigijima kanyekanye, wawukhuza umoya ongcolileyo, wathi kuwo: “Wena moya oyisimungulu nesithulu, ngiyakuyala: phuma kuye, ungabe usangena kuye. Umoya wakhala, wamdwengula kabuhlungu, waphuma kuye; baze bathi: Ufile. Kodwa uJesu wambamba ngesandla, wamsukumisa; wasukuma.
