UMARKO 16

₁Ekupheleni *koMhla wokuPhumla ooMariya waseMagadala noMariya unina kaYakobi, noSalomi, bathenga iziqholo, ukuze baye kuwuqhola umzimba kaYesu. ₂Bona ke bathi, ukuthi chapha kwelanga, kusekusasa kakhulu ngeCawe, baya engcwabeni. ₃Babethetha bodwa, besithi: “Ngubani na oya kusiqengqela ilitye lisuke engcwabeni?” ₄Elo litye lalilikhulu kakhulu, baza bathi bakukhangela babona ukuba liqengqiwe lesuka engcwabeni. ₅Bangena ke engcwabeni, babona indodana ehleli ngasekunene, izithe wambu ngengubo ende emhlophe, baza bamangaliswa.

₆Yathi ke yona kubo: “Musani ukumangaliseka. Nifuna uYesu umNazarete, owayebethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Uvukile; akakho apha. Nantsi indawo abebembeke kuyo. ₇Hambani niye kubaxelela abafundi bakhe noPetros ukuba uyanandulela ukuya kwelaseGalili. Nombona khona apho njengoko wayetshilo kuni.”

₈Baphuma ke engcwabeni bebaleka, bengcangcazela besoyika. Abathetha nto ke nakubani, kuba babesoyika.

[ ₉Ekuseni ngeCawe, akuba uYesu evukile ekufeni, wabonakala kuqala kuMariya waseMagadala. Ke yena ngulo uYesu wayekhuphe iindimoni ezisixhenxe kuye. ₁₀UMariya ke waya kubaxelela abalandeli bakaYesu, ababekhedamile belila. ₁₁Bona ke, bakuva ukuba uYesu uhleli, nokuba ukhe wabonwa nguMariya, basuka àbakholwa.]

[ ₁₂Emva koko wabonakaliswa ngolunye uhlobo kubafundi ababini ababehamba besiya emaphandleni. ₁₃Kwanabo ke baya kubaxelela abanye abafundi, kodwa àbakholwa nangabo.]

[ ₁₄Emva koko uYesu wazibonakalisa kubafundi abalishumi elinanye besetafileni. Wabakhalimela ngenxa yokungakholwa kwabo nangenxa yokuba lukhuni kweentliziyo zabo, kuba bengakholwa kubo abo babembonile evukile. ₁₅Wathi ke kubo: “Hambani niye kulo lonke ihlabathi, nizivakalise iindaba ezimnandi kulo lonke elimiweyo. ₁₆Lowo ukholwayo abhaptizwe wosindiswa; ke yena ongakholwayo wogwetywa. ₁₇Nantsi imiqondiso eya kulandelana nâbo bakholwayo: baya kuthi egameni lam bakhuphe iindimoni; baya kuthetha ngeelwimi ezintsha; ₁₈baya kuziphatha ngesandla iinyoka; nokuba bathe basela into ebulalayo, ayiyi kukha ibenzakalise; baya kuyibeka izandla imilwelwe, iphile.”]

[ ₁₉Emva kokuthetha nabo, iNkosi uYesu yanyuselwa ezulwini, yaya kuhlala ewongeni kwaThixo. ₂₀Ke bona abafundi bâya kushumayela kuzo zonke iindawo, iNkosi isebenza kunye nabo, iwangqina amazwi abo ngemiqondiso.]
