14Akufika kubafundi, wabona isihlwele esikhulu sibaphahlile, nababhali bebuzana nabo. 15Sathi kwaoko sonke isihlwele sakumbona saqhiphuka umbilini; beza kuye ngokubaleka, bambulisa. 16Wababuza ababhali, esithi, Nibuzana ntoni na nabo?
17Waphendula omnye wasesihlweleni wathi, Mfundisi, bendizise unyana wam kuwe, enomoya ongathethiyo; 18apho uthe wamqubula khona, uyamntlala, aze alephuze amagwebu, atshixize amazinyo akhe, asuke ome; ndithethé kubafundi bakho ukuba bawukhuphe; bakhohlwa. 19Amphendule ke yena athi, Sizukulwanandini singakholwayo, koda kube nini na ndikuni? Koda kube nini na ndininyamezele? Mziseni kum. 20Bamzisa kuye. Akumbona, wesuka kwaoko umoya, wambetha wee xhwenene; wawa emhlabeni, wamana eqikaqikeka, elephuza amagwebu.
21Wabuza kuyise, ukuba kumgama ungakanani na imhlile le nto.

Zonke izinto zinokwenzeka kuye okholwayo. 24Wakhala kwaoko uyise womntwana lowo, wathi eneenyembezi, Ndiyakholwa, Nkosi; síza, ususe ukungakholwa kwam.
25Uthe ke uYesu, ebone ukuba isihlwele sibalekela ndaweni-nye, wawukhalimela umoya ongcolileyo, esithi kuwo, Moyandini ungathethiyo usithulu, mna ndiyakuthethela, phuma kuye, ungabi sangena kuye. 26Wakhala wona, wambetha wee xhwenene kunene, waphuma; waba njengofileyo, bada abaninzi bathi, Ufile. 27Uthe ke uYesu wambamba ngesandla, wamvusa; wesuka wema.
28Eye kungena endlwini, bambuza abafundi bakhe ngasese, besithi, Yayiyini na ukuba singabi nako ukuwukhupha thina? 29Wathi kubo, Olu lona uhlobo alunako ukuphuma nganto, kungengako ukuthandaza nokuzila ukudla.

42Nothe wakhubekisa noko amnye wabancinane abakholwayo kum, ngekumlungele kanye ukuba ubegangxwe ilitye lokusila entanyeni yakhe, waphoswa elwandle.

45Nokuba unyawo lwakho luthe lwakukhubekisa, lunqamle lona; kukulungele kanye ukuba ungene ebomini usisiqhwala, kunokuba uthi, uneenyawo zombini, uphoswe esihogweni, emlilweni ongacimekiyo, 46apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacinywayo.
47Nokuba iliso lakho lithe lakukhubekisa, likhuphe lona; kukulungele kanye ukungena ebukumkanini bukaThixo unaliso linye, kunokuba uthi, unamehlo amabini, uphoswe esihogweni somlilo, 48apho kumpethu ingafiyo, kumlilo ungacinywayo.
49Kuba bonke baya kugalelwa ityuwa ngomlilo, athi onke amadini agalelwe ityuwa ngetyuwa. 50Ityuwa ilungile yona; ke ukuba ithe ityuwa ayaba nabutyuwa, noyivakalisa ngantoni na? Yibani netyuwa phakathi kwenu, nihlale ninoxolo omnye komnye.
