| 1. | UJesu wakhuluma lezizinto, waphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, wathi: Baba, ihola selifikile; dumisa iNdodana yakho, ukuze layo iNdodana yakho ikudumise; |
| 2. | njengoba uyinikile amandla phezu kwayo yonke inyama, ukuze bonke obanike yona, ibanike impilo elaphakade. |
| 3. | Lalokhu yimpilo elaphakade, ukuthi bazi wena uNkulunkulu wedwa we qiniso, loJesu Kristu omthumileyo. |
| 4. | Mina ngikudumisile emhlabeni; ngiwuqedile umsebenzi obunginike wona ukuthi ngiwenze; |
| 5. | khathesi-ke ngidumise wena, Baba, ngi lawe uqobo ngobukhosi engangilabo kanye lawe ungakabi khona umhlaba. |
| 6. | Ngilibonakalisile ibizo lakho ebantwini onginike bona bevela emhlabeni; babengabakho, njalo wanginika bona; balilondolozile ilizwi lakho. |
| 7. | Khathesi sebesazi ukuthi konke onginike khona, kuvela kuwe; |
| 8. | ngoba amazwi onginike wona, ngibanikile wona; ba we mukela, njalo bayazi ngeqiniso ukuthi ngiphuma kuwe, bakholiwe ukuthi ungithumile wena. |
| 9. | Mina ngiyabakhulekela bona; kangikhulekeli umhlaba, kodwa labo onginike bona, ngoba bangabakho; |
| 10. | njalo konke okwami kungokwakho, lokwakho kungokwami; njalo ngidunyisiwe kubo. |
| 11. | Njalo kangisekho emhlabeni, kodwa basemhlabeni bona, njalo mina ngiyeza kuwe. Baba oNgcwele, balondoloze ebizweni lakho labo onginike bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi. |
| 12. | Lapho ngiselabo emhlabeni, mina ngabalondoloza ebizweni lakho; labo onginike bona ngibalindile, njalo kakho kubo olahlekileyo, ngaphandle kwendodana yokulahlwa, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo. |
| 13. | Kodwa khathesi ngiza kuwe, njalo lezizinto ngizikhuluma emhlabeni, ukuze babe lentokozo yami igcwalisekile kubo. |
| 14. | Mina ngibanikile ilizwi lakho, lomhlaba ubazondile, ngoba bengeyisibo abomhlaba, njengoba mina ngingesuye owomhlaba. |
| 15. | Kangiceli ukuthi ubasuse emhlabeni, kodwa ukuze ubalondoloze kokubi. |
| 16. | Kabasibo abomhlaba, njengalokhu mina ngingesuye owomhlaba. |
| 17. | Bangcwelise eqinisweni lakho; ilizwi lakho liliqiniso. |
| 18. | Njengalokhu wangithuma emhlabeni, lami ngibathumile emhlabeni. |
| 19. | Njalo mina ngizehlukanisela bona, ukuze labo behlukaniswe eqinisweni. |
| 20. | Njalo kangiceleli laba bodwa, kodwa lalabo abazakholwa kimi ngelizwi labo; |
| 21. | ukuze bonke babe munye; njengalokhu wena, Baba, ukimi, lami ngikuwe, ukuze labo babe munye kithi; ukuze umhlaba ukholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile. |
| 22. | Lenkazimulo mina onginike yona, ngibanikile bona, ukuze babe munye, njengathi simunye. |
| 23. | Mina ngikubo, lawe ukimi, ukuze bapheleliswe babe munye, lokuze umhlaba wazi ukuthi wena ungithumile, lokuthi ubathandile, njengalokhu ungithandile. |
| 24. | Baba, labo onginike bona, ngithanda ukuthi lapho mina engikhona, labo babe lami; ukuze babone inkazimulo yami, onginike yona, ngoba wangithanda kungakasekelwa umhlaba. |
| 25. | Baba olungileyo, ngitsho umhlaba kawukwazanga, kodwa mina ngikwazile, lalaba bayazi ukuthi wena ungithumile; |
| 26. | njalo ngibazisile ibizo lakho, njalo ngizabazisa lona; ukuze uthando ongithande ngalo lube kubo, lami kubo. |
