An then Jesus toul thaim, “Thïs verie nicht al o yis wull faa awa on accoont o me, fer as ït's writ: ‘A wull strike tha shepherd, an tha sheep o tha flock wull be scattèrt.’

Sae Jesus cum bak wi thïs: “Dae ye thïnk fowk wud sït doon at tha spreed ïn a waddin faist alang wi tha bridegruim, an no tak a bite tae ait? Na, as lang as tha bridegruim ïs wi thaim, the' cannae fast!
Eftèr aa, ye wudnae shew a bït o new claith, that haesnae bin shrunk, on tae an oul cóat. If ye dae, tha patch wull teer awa tha sides o tha hole, an mak ït waur.
Ma dear childèr, A wull be wi yis jist a wee while lang'r. Ye'll be lukkin fer me, an jist laik A toul tha Jews, sae A'm tellin yous noo: ‘Whar A'm fer gaun, yis cannae cum.’
But tae tell ye tha truith, ït's fer yer ain guid that A'm gaun awa. Fer less A gang awa, tha halie Guide wull no cum til yis; but ïf A gang, A wull senn hïm tae ye.
