Umthetho wanikezwa ngoMose, umusa neqiniso kweza ngoJesu Khristu. Akekho osewake wabona uNkulunkulu; nguNkulunkulu, iNdodana ezelwe yodwa, esesifubeni sikaYise embonakalisile. Lokhu kungubufakazi bukaJohane, lapho abaJuda bethumele abaphristi nabaLevi bevela eJerusalema ukuba bambuze, bathi: “Wena ungubani na?” Wavuma, kahlonizanga; wavuma wathi: “Angisiye uKhristu mina.” Bambuza bathi: “Kanti pho ungubani na? Ungu-Eliya na?” Wathi: “Qha, angisiye.” Bathi: “UnguMphrofethi na?” Wathi: “Qha.” Base bethi kuye: “Kanti ungubani na? Ukuze sibaphendule abasithumileyo; zichaze ukuthi ungubani.” Wathi: “Ngiyizwi lomemeza ehlane, ethi: “ ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, njengalokhu asho u-Izaya, umphrofethi.’ ” Labo ababethunyiwe babevela kubaFarisi. Bambuza bathi: “Pho ubhabhadiselani uma ungesiye uKhristu, noma u-Eliya noma uMphrofethi na?” UJohane wabaphendula, wathi: “Mina ngibhabhadisa ngamanzi, kepha kumi phakathi kwenu eningamaziyo. Lo ozayo emuva kwami, angifanele ngisho nokuthukulula umchilo wezicathulo zakhe.” Konke lokhu kwenzeka eBhethani, ngaphesheya komfula iJordani, lapho uJohane wayebabhabhadisa khona. Ngakusasa uJohane wabona uJesu eza kuye, wayesethi: “Bheka, iWundlu likaNkulunkulu elisusa isono somhlaba. Nguye lo ebengikhuluma ngaye, ngithi: ‘Emva kwami kuza owavela ngaphambi kwami, owayekhona kuqala kunami.’ Nami bengingamazi, kodwa ukuze abonakaliswe ku-Israyeli, ngizile, ngibhabhadisa ngamanzi.” UJohane wafakaza wathi: “Ngibonile uMoya ehla njengejuba evela ezulwini; wahlala phezu kwakhe. Bengingamboni mina, kodwa owangithumayo ukuba ngibhabhadise ngamanzi, wathi kimi: ‘Lowo oyakubona uMoya ehla, ahlale phezu kwakhe, nguyena obhabhadisa ngoMoya oNgcwele.’ Ngibonile futhi ngiyafakaza, ngithi: lo uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.” Nangakusasa uJohane wayemi nabafundi bakhe ababili. Kuthe ebona uJesu edlula, wathi: “Nanti iWundlu likaNkulunkulu.” Abafundi ababili bamuzwa ekhuluma, base bemlandela uJesu. UJesu waphenduka, wababona bemlandela, wathi kubo: “Nifunani na?” Bathi: “Rabi,” okusho ukuthi Mfundisi: “Uhlala kuphi na?” Wabaphendula wathi: “Wozani nibone.” Ngakho-ke bahamba, babona lapho ehlala khona, bahlala naye ngalolo lusuku; cishe kwase kuyihora leshumi. U-Andreya, umfowabo kaSimoni Phethro, wayengomunye walabo ababili abathi ukumuzwa uJohane, bamlandela uJesu. U-Andreya waqala wafumana umfowabo uSimoni, wathi kuye: “Simtholile uMesiya,” okungukuthi uma lihunyushwa, uKhristu. Wamyisa kuJesu. UJesu wambheka, wathi: “Wena unguSimoni kaJona; usuzakubizwa ngokuthi uKhefase,” okusho ukuthi ngokuhunyushwa, uPhethro. Ngangomuso uJesu wanquma ukuya eGalile. Wafica uFiliphu, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.” UFiliphu wayedabuka eBhethsayida, umuzi okwakuhlala kuwo u-Andreya noPhethro. UFiliphu wafumana uNathaniyeli, wathi kuye: “Simtholile lowo uMose aloba ngaye emthethweni, kanye nabaphrofethi, uJesu waseNazaretha, indodana kaJosefa.” UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: “Kukhona yini okuhle okungavela eNazaretha na?” UFiliphu wathi: “Woza uzozibonela!” UJesu wambona uNathaniyeli eza kuye, wakhuluma ngaye wathi: “Nangu-ke umIsrayeli woqobo, ongenankohliso.” UNathaniyeli wathi kuye: “Ungazelaphi na?” UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “Ngaphambi kokuba uFiliphu akubize phansi komkhiwane, ngakubona.” UNathaniyeli wamphendula, wathi: “Rabi, Wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uyiNkosi ka-Israyeli.” UJesu wamphendula, wathi kuye: “Uyakholwa ngokuba ngithe kuwe ngakubona uphansi komkhiwane na? Uzakubona okukhulu kunalokho.” Wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: nizakubona izulu livuliwe nezingelosi zikaNkulunkulu zenyuka zehla phezu kweNdodana yomuntu.”
