²⁷ Wabaphendula wathi: “Senginitshelile, kepha anezwa; nifunelani ukuzwa futhi na? nithanda ukuba ngabafundi bakhe nani na?

²⁸ Base bemthuka, bathi: “Nguwe ongumfundi wakhe; kepha thina singabafundi bakaMose.

²⁹ Siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuMose;

³⁰ Umuntu waphendula, wathi kubo: Kungani kulokhu kuyisimangaliso, ukuthi nina anazi lapho avela khona, nokho uvule amehlo ami.
