15Kwasekufika kuJesu ababhali labaFarisi ababevela eJerusalemaa, bathi: 2 Kungani abafundi bakho besephula isikob labadalac? Ngoba kabagezi izandla zabo, nxa besidla isinkwa. 3 Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Lani-ke kungani lisephula umlayo kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yesiko lenu? 4 Ngoba uNkulunkulu walaya, wathi: Hlonipha uyihlo lonyokod; lokuthi: Othuka uyise kumbe unina kumele afe lokufae; 5 kodwa lina lithi: Loba ngubani othi kuyise kumbe kunina: Kungumnikelof, loba yini evela kimi ingakusiza, 6 njalo engasoze amhloniphe uyise kumbe unina; ngalokho lenza umlayo kaNkulunkulug ube yize ngenxa yesiko lenuh. 7 Bazenzisi, uIsaya waprofetha kuhle ngani, esithi: 8 Lababantu basondela kimi ngomlomo wabo, langendebe bangidumise; kodwa inhliziyo yabo ikhatshana lamii. 9 Kodwa bangikhonza ngeze, befundisa izimfundiso eziyimilayo yabantuj. 10 Esebizele kuye ixuku, wathi kilo: Lalelani futhi liqedisise. 11 Kakusikho okungena emlonyeni okungcolisa umuntu; kodwa okuphuma emlonyeni, yikho okungcolisa umuntuk.

12 Abafundi bakhe basebesondela bathi kuye: Uyazi yini ukuthi abaFarisi bathe ukulizwa lelilizwi bakhubeka? 13 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Sonke isihlahlakazana, uBaba osezulwini angasihlanyelanga, sizasitshunwal. 14 Bayekeleni; bangabakhokheli beziphofu abayiziphofum; njalo nxa isiphofu sikhokhela isiphofu, zizawela emgodini zombilin.

15 UPetro wasephendula wathi kuye: Sichasisele lumfanekisoo. 16 UJesu wasesithi: Kanti lani lisengabangelakuqedisisap? 17 Lilokhe lingaqedisisi yini, ukuthi konke okungena emlonyeni kuya esiswini, futhi kuyelahlelwa ngaphandleq? 18 Kodwa izinto eziphuma emlonyeni zivela enhliziywenir; lezi ziyamngcolisa umuntus. 19 Ngoba enhliziywenit kuvela imicabango emibi, ukubulala, ubufebe, ukuphinga, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambaza; 20 yizo lezozinto ezimngcolisayo umuntuu; kodwa ukudla ngezandla ezingagezwanga kakumngcolisi umuntuv.

21 UJesu wasesuka lapho, waya kungxenye zeTire lezeSidoniw. 22 Njalo khangela, owesifazana ongumKhanani ovela kuleyomikhawulo, wakhala kuye esithi: Nkosix, Ndodana kaDavida, akungihawukeley! Indodakazi yami ihlaselwe kubi lidimoniz. 23 Kodwa kamphendulanga ngalizwi. Basebesondela kuye abafundi bakhe bamncenga, bathi: Mxotshe, ngoba uyakhala ngemva kwethua. 24 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kangithunywanga, ngaphandle kuzo izimvu ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakoIsrayelib. 25 Kodwa weza wamkhonza wathi: Nkosi, ngisizec. 26 Kodwa waphendula wathi: Kakukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, lokusiphosela izinjana. 27 Kodwa yena wathi: Yebo, Nkosi, kodwa lezinjana ziyadla okwemvuthuluka eziwa etafuleni labaninizod. 28 UJesu wasephendula wathi kuye: O mama, lukhulu ukholo lwakho! Kakube kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho. Indodakazi yakhe yasisila kusukela kuleloholae.

29 UJesu wasesuka lapho weza eduzane kolwandle lweGalilif; wenyukela entabeni wahlala phansi khona. 30 Kwasekusiza kuye amaxuku amakhulug, beleziqhuli, iziphofu, izimunguluh, izingini, labanye abanengi, basebebaphosela enyaweni zikaJesu, wasebasilisa; 31 aze amangala amaxukui, ebona izimungulu zikhuluma, izingini ziphilile, iziqhuli zihamba, leziphofu zibonaj; basebemdumisak uNkulunkulu kaIsrayelil.

32 UJesu wasebizela kuye abafundi bakhe wathi: Ngilesihelo ngexuku, ngoba sebelami insuku ezintathu, bengelalutho lokudla; njalo kangithandi ukuthi ngibayekele bahambe bengadlangam, hlezi bayathe endleleni. 33 Abafundi bakhe basebesithi kuye: Sizazuza ngaphi enkangala izinkwa ezinengi kangaka, ukuthi zisuthise ixuku elikhulu kangaka? 34 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lilezinkwa ezingaki? Basebesithi: Eziyisikhombisa, lenhlanzana ezinlutshwanan. 35 Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi emhlabathini. 36 Wasethatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa lenhlanzio, esebongile wazihlephula, wazinika abafundi bakhe, labafundi ixuku. 37 Basebesidla bonke basutha; basebedobha imvuthu ezaziselep, izitsha eziyisikhombisa zigcwele. 38 Lalabo abadlayo babengamadoda azinkulungwane ezine, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwanaq. 39 Eseyekele amaxuku ahambar wangena emkhunjini, weza emikhawulweni yeMagadalas.
