1Wayesethi nakubafundi bakhe: “Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo owayenomphathi; yona yabekwa icala lokuthi ichithe impahla yayo.

2Wambiza wathi kuye: “Kuyini lokhu engikuzwa ngawe na? landisa ngobuphathi bakho; ngoba ungabe usaba ngumphathi.

3Wasesithi umphathi phakathi kwakhe: Ngizakwenzani? ngokuba inkosi yami ingaphuca ubuphathi; ukuncenga nginamahloni.

4Sengikwazi engizakwenza, ukuze, nxa ngikhutshwa ebuphathini, bangamukele ezindlini zabo.

5Wababizela kuye bonke abanamacala enkosini yakhe, wathi kowokuqala: ‘Unecala elingakanani enkosini yami na?

6Wasesithi: Izilinganiso eziyikhulu zamafutha. Wathi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, uhlale phansi masinyane, ulobe amashumi ayisihlanu.

7Wasesithi komunye: Wena-ke unecala elingakanani? Wathi: Izilinganiso eziyikhulu zikakolweni. Wathi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, ulobe amashumi ayisishiyagalombili.

8Inkosi yamtusa umphathi ongalungile, ngokuba wenze ngokuhlakanipha; ngokuba abantwana balesi sikhathi bahlakaniphile esizukulwaneni sabo kunabantwana bokukhanya.

9Nami ngithi kini: Zenzeleni nina abangane ngoMamona ongalungile; ukuze kuthi, nxa niphela, banamukele ezindlini eziphakade.

10Othembekile kokuncinyane uthembekile nakokukhulu, nongalungile kokuncane kakhulu akalungile nakokukhulu.

11Ngakho-ke uma ningathembekanga kokukaMamona ongalungile, ngubani oyakuniphathisa okuqinisileyo na?

12Njalo uba lingathembekanga kokukomunye, ngubani ozalinika okungokwakho?

13Ayikho inceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili, ngokuba iyakuzonda enye, ithande enye; noma ibambelele kwenye, idelele enye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona.

14NabaFarisi abahahayo bezwa konke lokho, bamklolodela.

15Wathi kubo: “Nina ningabazishaya abalungileyo phambi kwabantu; kepha uNkulunkulu uyazazi izinhliziyo zenu, ngokuba lokho okuphakeme phakathi kwabantu kuyisinengiso emehlweni kaNkulunkulu.

16Umthetho nabaprofethi kwakukhona kwaze kwafika uJohane; kusukela ngaleso sikhathi umbuso kaNkulunkulu uyashunyayelwa, wonke umuntu ufukamela kuwo.

17Kepha kulula ukuba kudlule izulu nomhlaba kunokuba kuphele ichashana elilodwa lomlayo.

18“Yilowo nalowo olahla umkakhe, aganwe ngomunye, uyaphinga;

19Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayegqoka ezibubende nezelineni elicolekileyo, ezijabulisa imihla ngemihla etamasa.

20Kwakukhona isinxibi esithile, nguLazaru, esasibekwe esangweni laso sigcwele izilonda;

21Ifisa ukusuthiswa ngemvuthuluka ewa etafuleni lesicebi, phezu kwalokho kwafika nezinja zayikhotha izilonda zaso.

22Kwasekusithi wafa ompofu, wathwalwa yizingilosi esifubeni sikaAbrahama;

23Esihogweni saphakamisa amehlo aso, sisebuhlungwini, sabona u-Abrahama ekude, noLazaru esesifubeni sakhe.

24Samemeza sathi: ‘Baba Abrahama, ngihawukele, uthume uLazaru, agcobhoze isihloko somunwe wakhe emanzini, aphozise ulimi lwami; ngoba ngiyahlushwa kulelilangabi.

25Kepha u-Abrahama wathi: “Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi wamukela okuhle kwakho usesekuphileni, noLazaru ngokunjalo nokubi;

26Futhi phezu kwakho konke lokhu phakathi kwethu lani kubekiwe umhosha omkhulu, ukuze abafuna ukuwela besuka lapha besiya kini bangabi; futhi abanakuwelela kithi abafuna ukuvela khona.

27Wasesithi: Ngakho ngiyakucela, baba, ukuthi umthume endlini kababa;

28Ngokuba nginabafowethu abayisihlanu; ukuze afakaze kubo, hlezi nabo beze kulendawo yokuhlupheka.

29U-Abrahama wathi kuye: “BanoMose nabaprofethi; mabezwe.

30Sathi: ‘Qha, baba Abrahama, kepha uma omunye kwabafileyo eya kubo, bayakuphenduka.

31Wasesithi kuso: Uba bengalaleli uMozisi labaprofethi, kabayikuvunyiswa, loba kuvuka omunye kwabafileyo.
