11Kwasekusithi ekhuleka endaweni ethilea, eseqedile, omunye wabafundi bakhe wathi kuye: Nkosi, sifundise ukukhuleka, njengoJohane laye wafundisa abafundi bakhe. 2 Wasesithi kubo: Nxa likhuleka, libokuthi: Baba wethu osemazulwini, kalihlonitshwe ibizo lakho. Umbuso wakho kawuze. Intando yakho kayenziwe, lemhlabeni njengezulwini. 3 Siphe usuku ngosuku ukudla kwethu kwensuku zonke. 4 Njalo usithethelele izono zethu, ngoba lathi sibathethelela bonke abalamacala kithi. Njalo ungasingenisi ekulingweni, kodwa usikhulule ebubinib.

5 Wasesithi kubo: Nguwuphi kini olomngane, futhi aye kuye phakathi kobusukuc, athi kuye: Mngane, ngeboleka izinkwa ezintathu, 6 ngoba kufike kimi umngane wami evela ekuhambeni, kodwa kangilalutho engingalubeka phambi kwakhed; 7 longaphakathi aphendule athi: Ungangihluphi; umnyango usuvaliwe, labantwana bami abancane balami embhedeni; kangingeke ngivuke ngikunike. 8 Ngithi kini: Loba engazukuvuka amnike, ngoba engumngane wakhe, kodwa ngenxa yokuphikelela kwakhe uzavuka amnike konke akuswelayoe. 9 Mina-ke ngithi kini: Celani, lizaphiwa; dingani, lizathola; qoqodani, lizavulelwa. 10 Ngoba wonke ocelayo uyemukela; lodingayo uyathola; loqoqodayo uyavulelwaf. 11 Kambe, nguwuphi kini onguyise ongathi indodana icela isinkwa, ayinike ilitshe? Loba-ke inhlanzi, ayinike inyoka endaweni yenhlanzi yini? 12 Uba-ke icela iqanda, ayinike ufezela yinig? 13 Ngakho uba lina elingababi likwazi ukupha abantwana benu izipho ezinhle, kakhulu kangakanani uBaba osezulwinih ezabapha uMoya oNgcwele abacela kuyei.

14 Wayesekhupha idimoni, elaliyisimungulu. Kwasekusithi, seliphumile idimoni, wakhuluma oyisimungulu; amaxuku asemangala. 15 Kodwa abanye babo bathi: Ukhupha amadimoni ngoBhelezebhule inkosi yamadimonij. 16 Labanye bemlingak badinga kuye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwinil. 17 Kodwa yena eyazi imicabango yabo wathi kubom: Wonke umbuso owehlukene umelene lawo ngokwawo uyachitheka; njalo indlu emelene lendlu iyadilika. 18 Njalo uba uSathane laye ehlukene emelane laye ngokwakhe, umbuso wakhe uzakuma njani? Ngoba lithi, ngikhupha amadimoni ngoBhelezebhule. 19 Njalo uba mina ngikhupha amadimoni ngoBhelezebhule, amadodana enu akhupha ngobani? Ngakho wona azakuba ngabagwebi benun. 20 Kodwa uba ngikhupha amadimoni ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu, isibili umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kinio. 21 Uba isiqhwaga sihlomile silinda owaso umuzi, impahla yaso isekuthulenip; 22 kodwa nxa olamandla kulaso esisukela asinqobe, uyasemuka izikhali zaso ebesithembele kuzo, abesesaba impango yasoq. 23 Ongelami umelene lamir; longabuthi lamis uyachithizat.

24 Nxa umoya ongcolileyo esephumile emuntwini, uyahamba adabule indawo ezomileyo, edinga ukuphumula; kodwa engakutholi athi: Ngizabuyela endlini yami engaphuma kuyo; 25 njalo esefikile ayifice ithanyelwe njalo ilungisiwe. 26 Abesehamba azithathele abanye omoya abayisikhombisa ababi kulaye uqobo, bangene bahlale lapho; njalo ukucina kwalowomuntu kube kubi kulokuqalau.

27 Kwasekusithi ekhuluma lezizinto, owesifazana othile exukwini waphakamisa ilizwi, wathi kuyev: Sibusisiwe isisu esakuthwalayo, lamabele owawamunyayow. 28 Kodwa yena wathi: Kodwa ikakhulux babusisiwey abalizwayo ilizwi likaNkulunkuluz balilondolozea.

29 Kwathi sekubuthene amaxuku eminyene, waqala ukuthi: Lesi isizukulwana sibi; sidinga isibonakaliso, kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. 30 Ngoba njengalokhu uJona waba yisibonakaliso kwabeNineve, leNdodana yomuntu izakuba njalo kulesisizukulwanab. 31 Indlovukazi yeningizimu izasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lamadoda alesisizukulwanac, iwalahle; ngoba yavela emikhawulweni yomhlaba ukuzakuzwa inhlakanipho kaSolomoni, njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloSolomoni ulapha. 32 Amadoda eNineve azasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lalesisizukulwanad, asilahle; ngoba aphenduka ngokutshumayela kukaJona, njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloJona ulapha.

33 Futhi kakho othi eselumathise isibane asibeke ekusithekeni, loba ngaphansi kwesitsha, kodwa phezu kwesiqobane sesibanee, ukuze abangenayo babone ukukhanyaf.

34 Isibane somzimba yilihlo; ngakho nxa ilihlo lakho liphilile, lomzimba wakho wonke ugcwele ukukhanyag; kodwa nxa lilibi, lomzimba wakho ulobumnyamah. 35 Ngakho qaphela ukuthi ukukhanya okukuwe kungabi ngumnyama. 36 Ngakho uba umzimba wakho wonke ugcwele ukukhanya, ungelandawo emnyama, uzakhanya wonke, njengesibane sikukhanyisa ngokukhanyai.

37 Kwathi esakhuluma, umFarisi othile wamcela ukuthi adle laye; wasengena wahlala ekudlenij. 38 Kwathi umFarisi ebona lokhu wamangala ukuthi kazange aqale agezek phambi kokudla kweminil. 39 Yasisithi iNkosi kuye: Khathesi lina baFarisi lihlambulula ingaphandle yenkezo leyesitsham, kodwa ingaphakathi yenu igcwele ukuphanga lobubin. 40 Zithutha, yena owenza ingaphandle kayenzanga yini lengaphakathi? 41 Kodwa phanini zibe yizipho zabayanga lezozinto ezingaphakathio; khangelani-ke, konke kuzahlambuluka kinip.

42 Kodwa maye kini baFarisiq! Ngoba lithela okwetshumi kwetshwayi leganga leruwi*, lakuyo yonke imibhida, njalo liseqa ukwehlulela lothando lukaNkulunkulu; belifanele ukwenza lezizinto, lingakuyekeli lalokhur.

43 Maye kini baFarisi! Ngoba lithanda izihlalo zabahloniphekayo emasinagogenis, lokubingelelwa emidangenit.

44 Maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi! Ngoba lifanana lamangcwaba angabonakaliyo, labantu abahamba phezu kwawo bengawaziu.

45 Omunye wezazumthetho wasephendula wathi kuye: Mfundisi, ngokutsho lezizinto uyasithuka lathiv. 46 Kodwa wathi: Maye lakini zazumthethow! Ngobax lethwesa abantu imithwalo enzima ukuthwalwa, kodwa lina uqobo lwenu kaliyithinti leyomithwalo langomunye weminwe yenuy.

47 Maye kini! Ngoba lakha amangcwaba abaprofethi, njalo oyihlo bababulalaz. 48 Ngalokhu-ke lifakazaa ukuthi livumelana lemisebenzi yaboyihlo; ngoba bona bababulala, lina-ke liyawakha amangcwaba abob. 49 Ngalokhu-ke inhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu yathic: Ngizabathuma abaprofethi labaphostolid, labanye babo bazababulala babaxotshee; 50 ukuze kubizwe kulesisizukulwana igazi labaprofethi bonke elachithwa kusukela ekusekelweni komhlabaf, 51 kusukela egazini likaAbela kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya owabulawa phakathi laphakathi kwelathi lendlu kaNkulunkulu; yebo, ngithi kini: Lizabizwa kulesisizukulwanag.

52 Maye kini zazumthethoh! Ngoba lisusilei isihluthulelo solwazi; kalingenanga lina uqobo lwenuj, labangenayo labavimbela.

53 Kwathi ekhuluma lezizinto kubo, ababhali labaFarisi baqala ukumngxamela kakhulukazi, lokumbuzisisa ngezinto ezinengik, 54 bemthiyal, bedinga ukubamba ulutho oluphuma emlonyeni wakhem, ukuze bambeke icalan.
