Forgiveness – Day 16

₂₁Khona kwasondela uPetru, wathi kuye: “Nkosi, umfowethu uyakungona kangaki, ngimthethelela, na? Kuze kube kasikhombisa na?”

₂₂UJesu wathi kuye: “Angisho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa kodwa kuze kube kamashumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa.

₂₃“Ngalokho umbuso wezulu ufaniswa nomuntu oyinkosi obethanda ukubalisana nezinceku zakhe. ₂₄Kwathi eseqale ukubala, kwalethwa kuye enye enecala lamatalenta* ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi. ₂₅Kepha ingenalutho lokukhokha, inkosi yayala ukuba kuthengiswe ngayo, nangomkayo, nangabantabayo, nangakho konke enakho, kukhokhwe. ₂₆Ngalokho inceku yawa phansi, yakhuleka kuyo, yathi: ‘Ake ungibekezelele, ngizakukukhokhela konke.’ ₂₇Inkosi yaleyo nceku inesihe yayikhulula, yayithethelela icala.

₂₈“Kepha kwathi isiphuma leyo nceku, yafumana enye yezinceku ezikanye nayo enecala kuyo lawodenariyu* abayikhulu, yayibamba, yayiklinya, yathi: ‘Khokha icala lakho.’

₂₉“Khona inceku ekanye nayo yawa phansi, yayincenga yathi: ‘Ake ungibekezelele, ngizakukukhokhela.’ ₃₀Kepha ayivumanga, kodwa yahamba, yayifaka etilongweni, ize ilikhokhe lelo cala.

₃₁“Izinceku ezikanye nayo zathi ukubona okwenzekileyo, zadabuka kakhulu, zaya zabika enkosini yazo konke okwenzekileyo. ₃₂Khona inkosi yayo yayibiza, yathi kuyo: ‘Nceku embi, lonke lelo cala ngikuthethelele lona ngokuba wangincenga; ₃₃nga ungayihawukelanga yini inceku ekanye nawe, njengokuba nami ngikuhawukele, na?’ ₃₄Inkosi yayo yathukuthela, yayinikela kubaphathi betilongo, ize ikhokhe lonke icala layo.

₃₅“Kanjalo naye uBaba osezulwini uyakwenza kini, uma ningathetheleli ngezinhliziyo zenu kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo.”
