Uwavule njani amehlo akho? 27 Wawaphendula wathi: Sengilitshelile, kodwa kalizwangac, lifunelani ukuzwa futhi? Liyafisa lani ukuba ngabafundi bakhe yini? 28 Ngakho amthuka, esithi: Nguwe ongumfundi wakhe; kodwa thina singabafundi bakaMozisi. 29 Thina siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma loMozisi; kodwa lo kasimazi lapho avela khonad. 30 Umuntu waphendula wathi kuwo: Ngoba kulokhu kuyisimanga ukuthi lina kalimazi lapho avela khona, kanti uvule amehlo amie. 31 Njalo siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu kazizwa izonif; kodwa uba umuntu engokhonza uNkulunkulu, esenza intando yakhe, uyamuzwa lowog. 32 Loba nini kakukaze kuzwakale ukuthi kukhona owavula amehlo owazalwa eyisiphofuh. 33 Uba loi ubengaveli kuNkulunkulu, ubengebe lamandla okwenza uluthoj. 34 Aphendula athi kuye: Wena wazalelwa esonweni ngokupheleleyo, njalo wena uyasifundisa yinik? Asemxotshela phandlel.
