| 1. | Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wadabula emasimini amabele ngesabatha; futhi abafundi bakhe babelambile, baqala ukukha izikhwebu, badla. |
| 2. | Kodwa abaFarisi be ku bona bathi kuye: Khangela, abafundi bakho benza okungavunyelwanga ukwenziwa ngesabatha. |
| 3. | Kodwa wathi kubo: Kalifundanga yini uDavida akwenzayo, mhla elambile yena lababelaye; |
| 4. | ukuthi wangena njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukiswa, ayengavunyelwa ukuzidla, ngitsho lababelaye, ngaphandle kwabapristi bodwa? |
| 5. | Ingabe kalifundanga yini emlayweni, ukuthi ngamasabatha abapristi bayalona isabatha ethempelini, bangabi lacala? |
| 6. | Kodwa ngithi kini: Kukhona lapha omkhulu kulethempeli. |
| 7. | Kodwa aluba belisazi ukuthi kutshoni ukuthi: Ngifisa isihawu hatshi umhlatshelo, ngabe kalibalahlanga abangelacala. |
| 8. | Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi leyesabatha. |
| 9. | Futhi wasuka lapho wangena esinagogeni labo; |
| 10. | njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu olesandla esitshwabheneyo; basebembuza besithi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngamasabatha? Ukuze bambeke icala. |
| 11. | Kodwa wathi kubo: Nguwuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu, elemvu eyodwa, futhi uba iwele emgodini ngesabatha, ongayikuyibamba a yi khuphe? |
| 12. | Umuntu uyedlula-ke kangakanani imvu ! Ngakho kuvunyelwe ukwenza okuhle ngamasabatha. |
| 13. | Wasesithi kumuntu: Yelula isandla sakho. Wase s elula, sasesisiliswa saphelela njengesinye. |
| 14. | Basebephuma abaFarisi becebisana ngaye, ukuthi bangambulala njani. |
| 15. | Kodwa uJesu esekwazi wasuka lapho; amaxuku amakhulu asemlandela, wasebasilisa bonke. |
| 16. | Wasebalayisisa ukuthi bangamvezi; |
| 17. | ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngumprofethi uIsaya, ukuthi: |
| 18. | Khangela, inceku yami engiyikhethileyo; othandekayo wami othokoza ngaye umphefumulo wami; ngizabeka uMoya wami phezu kwakhe, njalo uzatshumayela ukwahlulela kwabezizwe. |
| 19. | Kayikubangisa, kayikumemeza, njalo kakho ozalizwa ilizwi lakhe ezindleleni. |
| 20. | Umhlanga ofecekileyo kayikuwephula, lentambo yesibane ethunqayo kayikuyicitsha, aze aphumelelise ukwahlulela ekunqobeni. |
| 21. | Lezizwe zizathemba ebizweni lakhe. |
| 22. | Kwasekulethwa kuye umuntu ongenwe lidimoni, ey isiphofu lesimungulu; wasemsilisa, kwaze kwathi isiphofu esiy isimungulu sakhuluma njalo sabona. |
| 23. | Asemangala amaxuku wonke athi: Lo kayisiyo yini iNdodana kaDavida? |
| 24. | Kodwa abaFarisi sebezwile bathi: Lumuntu kakhuphi amadimoni, ngaphandle kukaBhelezebhule inkosi yamadimoni. |
| 25. | Kodwa uJesu, eseyazi imicabango yabo, wathi kubo: Wonke umbuso owehlukene umelene lawo ngokwawo uyachitheka; lawo wonke umuzi kumbe indlu eyehlukene ngokuzimelana ingeze yema. |
| 26. | Njalo uba uSathane ekhupha uSathane, wehlukene emelene laye ngokwakhe; pho umbuso wakhe uzakuma njani? |
| 27. | Futhi uba mina ngikhupha amadimoni ngoBhelezebhule, amadodana enu akhupha ngobani? Ngakho wona azakuba ngabagwebi benu. |
| 28. | Kodwa uba mina ngikhupha amadimoni ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu, umbuso kaNkulunkulu usufikile kini. |
| 29. | Kumbe umuntu angangena njani endlini yesiqhwaga aphange impahla yaso, ngaphandle kokuthi asibophe kuqala isiqhwaga? Abesephanga-ke indlu yaso. |
| 30. | Ongelami, umelene lami, longabuthi lami, uyachithiza. |
| 31. | Ngakho ngithi kini: Abantu bazathethelelwa sonke isono lenhlamba; kodwa ukuhlambaza uMoya kakuyikuthethelelwa abantu. |
| 32. | Lalowo okhuluma ilizwi elimelana leNdodana yomuntu, uzathethelelwa; kodwa lowo okhuluma emelana loMoya oyiNgcwele, kayikuthethelelwa, kungeyisikho kulesisikhathi loba kwesizayo. |
| 33. | Loba yenzani isihlahla sibe ngesilungileyo, lesithelo saso sibe ngesilungileyo, kumbe lenze isihlahla sibe sibi, lesithelo saso sibe sibi, ngoba isihlahla saziwa ngesithelo. |
| 34. | Nzalo yezinyoka, lingakhuluma njani izinto ezinhle, libabi? Ngoba umlomo ukhuluma ngokugcwala kwenhliziyo. |
| 35. | Umuntu olungileyo ukhupha izinto ezilungileyo kokuligugu elilungileyo lenhliziyo; lomuntu omubi ukhupha izinto ezimbi kokuligugu elibi. |
| 36. | Kodwa ngithi kini: Lonke ilizwi eliyize abalikhulumayo abantu, bazaziphendulela ngalo ngosuku lokwahlulela. |
| 37. | Ngoba ngamazwi akho uzalungisiswa, langamazwi akho uzalahlwa. |
| 38. | Abanye bababhali labaFarisi basebephendula, bathi: Mfundisi, sifuna ukubona isibonakaliso esivela kuwe. |
| 39. | Kodwa waphendula wathi kubo: Isizukulwana esibi lesifebayo sidinga isibonakaliso; kodwa kasiyikunikwa isibonakaliso, ngaphandle kwesibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. |
| 40. | Ngoba njengalokhu uJona waba sesiswini sensikabayitshiye insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu, ngokunjalo iNdodana yomuntu izakuba semathunjini omhlaba insuku ezintathu lobusuku obuthathu. |
| 41. | Amadoda eNinive azasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lalesisizukulwana, asilahle; ngoba aphenduka ngokutshumayela kukaJona; njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloJona ulapha. |
| 42. | Indlovukazi yeningizimu izasukuma ekugwetshweni kanye lalesisizukulwana, isilahle; ngoba yavela emikhawulweni yomhlaba u kuza kuzwa inhlakanipho kaSolomoni; njalo khangelani, omkhulu kuloSolomoni ulapha. |
| 43. | Kodwa nxa umoya ongcolileyo esephumile emuntwini, uyahamba adabule indawo ezomileyo, edinga ukuphumula, kodwa enga ku tholi. |
| 44. | Abesesithi: Ngizabuyela endlini yami engaphuma kuyo; njalo esefikile ayifice ize, ithanyelwe, njalo ilungisiwe. |
| 45. | Abesehamba athathe kanye laye abanye omoya abayisikhombisa ababi kulaye uqobo, besebengena bahlale khona; njalo ukucina kwalowomuntu kube kubi kulokuqala. Kuzakuba njalo lakulesisizukulwana esibi. |
| 46. | Kwathi esakhuluma emaxukwini, khangela, unina labafowabo bema ngaphandle, bedinga ukukhuluma laye. |
| 47. | Omunye wasesithi kuye: Khangela, unyoko labafowenu bemi phandle, badinga ukukhuluma lawe. |
| 48. | Kodwa waphendula wathi komtshelileyo: Ngubani umama? Labafowethu ngobani? |
| 49. | Waseselulela isandla sakhe kubafundi bakhe wathi: Khangelani, umama labafowethu. |
| 50. | Ngoba loba ngubani owenza intando kaBaba osemazulwini, nguye ongumfowethu lodadewethu lomama. |
