| 1. | Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umtshado eKana yeGalili; lonina kaJesu wayekhona lapho; |
| 2. | njalo uJesu laye wayenxusiwe labafundi bakhe emtshadweni. |
| 3. | Kwathi iwayini selisweleka, unina kaJesu wathi kuye: Kabalawayini. |
| 4. | UJesu wathi kuye: Mama, ngilani lawe? Ihola lami kalikafiki. |
| 5. | Unina wathi kuzinceku: Yenzani loba yikuphi azalitshela khona. |
| 6. | Kwakukhona lapho imbiza zamanzi ezamatshe zimiswe njengokokuhlambulula kwamaJuda, inye ingena amaphoco amabili kumbe amathathu. |
| 7. | UJesu wathi kuzo: Gcwalisani imbiza zamanzi ngamanzi. Zasezizigcwalisa zathi kliki. |
| 8. | Wasesithi kuzo: Khanini khathesi, lise kumphathi wokudla. Zasezikusa. |
| 9. | Umphathi wokudla esizwa amanzi asebe liwayini, engazi ukuthi livela ngaphi (kodwa inceku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi), umphathi wokudla wabiza umyeni, |
| 10. | wasesithi kuye: Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi lapho sebenathile kakhulu, abese letha elibi; wena ugcinile iwayini elimnandi kwaze kwaba khathesi. |
| 11. | Lokho kuyikuqala kwezibonakaliso uJesu akwenza eKana yeGalili wabonakalisa ubukhosi bakhe; labafundi bakhe bakholwa kuye. |
| 12. | Emva kwalokho wehlela eKapenawume, yena, lonina, labafowabo, labafundi bakhe; njalo bahlala khona kungeyisikho okwensuku ezinengi. |
| 13. | Iphasika lamaJuda laselisondele, uJesu wasesenyukela eJerusalema. |
| 14. | Wafica ethempelini labo abathengisa inkabi lezimvu lamajuba, labantshintshi bemali behlezi. |
| 15. | Esenze isiswepu sezintambo wabaxotsha bonke ethempelini, izimvu kanye lenkabi; wachitha imali yabantshintshisayo, wagenqula amatafula; |
| 16. | wasesithi kwabathengisa amajuba: Susani lezizinto lapha; lingayenzi indlu kaBaba indlu yokuthengisela. |
| 17. | Abafundi bakhe basebekhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ukutshisekela indlu yakho kungidlile. |
| 18. | Ngakho amaJuda aphendula athi kuye: Usitshengisa isibonakaliso bani, sokuthi wenze lezizinto? |
| 19. | UJesu waphendula wathi kuwo: Dilizani lelithempeli, njalo ngensuku ezintathu ngizalivusa. |
| 20. | AmaJuda asesithi: Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha lelithempeli lakhiwa, wena-ke uzalivusa ngensuku ezintathu yini? |
| 21. | Kodwa yena wayekhuluma ngethempeli lomzimba wakhe. |
| 22. | Ngakho, kwathi esevukile kwabafileyo, abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi wayekutshilo lokhu kubo; bakholwa umbhalo, lelizwi ayelitshilo uJesu. |
| 23. | Njalo kwathi eseJerusalema ngephasika, emkhosini, abanengi bakholwa ebizweni lakhe, bebona izibonakaliso zakhe azenzayo; |
| 24. | kodwa uJesu ngokwakhe kazinikelanga yena kubo, ngoba yena wayebazi bonke, |
| 25. | langenxa yokuthi wayengasweli ukuthi loba ngubani afakaze ngomuntu; ngoba yena wayekwazi okusemuntwini. |
