← Chapter 16 Jump to: Chapter 18 →

1Lemva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha uPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo, wasekhwela labo entabeni ende bebodwa.

2Waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo, njalo ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, lezembatho zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.

3Futhi khangela, kwasekubonakala kubo uMozisi loElija, bekhuluma laye.

4UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha. Uba uthanda, asakhe lapha amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija.

5Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, iyezi elikhanyayo labasibekela; futhi khangela, ilizwi laphuma eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo; zwanini yona.

6Sebezwile abafundi, bawa phansi ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu.

7Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta wathi: Sukumani lingesabi.

8Sebephakamisile amehlo abo, kababonanga muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu yedwa.

9Sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya, wathi: Lingatsheli muntu lowombono, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntu.

10Abafundi bakhe basebembuza bathi: Pho batsholoni ababhali ukuthi uElija ufanele ukufika kuqala?

11UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: UElija uzafika kuqala isibili, uzabuyisela zonke izinto;

12kodwa ngitsho kini ukuthi uElija sewafika, kodwa kabamazanga, kodwa benza kuye konke ababekuthanda; ngokunjalo leNdodana yomuntu izahlutshwa yibo.

13Abafundi basebeqedisisa ukuthi wakhuluma labo ngoJohane uMbhabhathizi.

14Kwathi sebefikile exukwini, kweza kuye umuntu waguqa phambi kwakhe wathi:

15Nkosi, akuhawukele indodana yami, ngoba ilesithuthwane iyahlupheka kakhulu; ngoba iwele kanengi emlilweni, futhi kanengi emanzini.

16Njalo ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bebengelakho ukuyisilisa.

17UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, koze kube nini ngizakuba lani? Koze kube nini ngizalibekezelela? Mletheni kimi lapha.

18UJesu waselikhuza, idimoni laseliphuma kuyo, umntwana wasesila kusukela kulelohola.

19Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukulikhupha?

20UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kungenxa yokungakholwa kwenu. Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Aluba lilokholo olunjengohlamvu lwemasitedi, lizakuthi kulintaba: Suka lapha uye laphaya; njalo izasuka; futhi kaliyikwehlulwa lutho.

21Kodwa loluhlobo kaluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko langokuzila ukudla.

22Besahlezi eGalili, uJesu wathi kubo: INdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu,

23njalo bazayibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa. Basebedabuka kakhulu.

24Kwathi sebefikile eKapenawume, abemukela umthelo beza kuPetro bathi: Umfundisi wenu katheli yini?

25Wathi: Yebo. Esengenile endlini, uJesu wamandulela wathi: Ucabangani, Simoni? Amakhosi omhlaba emukela kubani imfanelo kumbe imithelo? Kumadodana abo yini, kumbe kwabezizwe?

26UPetro wathi kuye: Kwabezizwe. UJesu wathi kuye: Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile.

27Kodwa-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye elwandle uphose ingwegwe, uthathe inhlanzi ezaphuma kuqala; kuzakuthi usuvule umlomo wayo uzathola imali; uyithathe ubanike ibe ngeyami leyakho.
