³ AbaFarisi beza kuye bemlinga, bathi kuye: Kuvunyelwe yini ukuthi indoda ilahle umkayo nganoma yisiphi isizathu?

⁴ Waphendula wathi kubo: Anifundanga yini ukuthi owabadala ekuqaleni wabenza owesilisa nowesifazane, na?

⁵ Wathi: Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina, inamathele kumkayo, labo ababili bazakuba nyamanye?

¹⁵ Wabeka izandla phezu kwabo, wamuka lapho.

¹⁶ Bheka, kwasondela omunye, wathi kuye: “Mfundisi Omuhle, ngizakwenzani okuhle, ukuze ngibe nokuphila okuphakade na?

¹⁷ Wathi kuye: “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngimuhle na? akakho omuhle, munye kuphela, okunguNkulunkulu; kepha uma uthanda ukungena ekuphileni, gcina imiyalo.

¹⁸ Wathi kuye: Yiphi? UJesu wathi: Ungabulali, ungaphingi, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga;

¹⁹ Yazisa uyihlo nonyoko, nokuthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.

²⁰ Insizwa yathi kuye: “Konke lokho ngikugcinile kwasebusheni bami;

²¹ UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma uthanda ukuphelela, hamba uthengise ngalokho onakho, uphe abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; uze ungilandele.

²² Kodwa ijaha selizwile lelolizwi, lahamba lidabukile, ngoba lalinengcebo enengi.

²³ UJesu wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ocebileyo uyakungena kalukhuni embusweni wezulu.

²⁴ Njalo futhi ngithi kini: Kulula ukuthi ikamela lingene ngentunja yenalithi, kunokuba onothileyo angene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

²⁵ Kwathi sebezwile abafundi bakhe bamangala kakhulu, bathi: Pho kungasindiswa bani?

²⁶ Kodwa uJesu wabakhangela wathi kubo: Kubantu lokhu kakwenzeki; kodwa kuNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka.

²⁷ UPetru waphendula, wathi kuye: “Bheka, thina sishiye konke, sakulandela; siyakufumanani na?

²⁸ UJesu wasesithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lina elingilandelayo, ekuzalweni kutsha, lapho iNdodana yomuntu isihlezi esihlalweni senkazimulo yayo, lani lizahlala ezihlalweni zobukhosi ezilitshumi lambili, lahlulele izizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayeli.

²⁹ Nalowo oshiye izindlu, noma abafowabo, noma odadewabo, noma uyise, noma unina, noma abantwana, noma amasimu, ngenxa yegama lami, uyakwamukeliswa okuphindwe kakhulu, adle ifa lokuphila okuphakade.

³⁰ Kepha abaningi abokuqala bayakuba ngabokugcina; futhi abokugcina bayakuba ngabokuqala.
