1Ngalezo zinsuku isixuku sasisikhulu kakhulu, singenalutho lokudla, uJesu wabizela kuye abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo:

2Ngiyasihawukela ixuku, ngoba sekuyizinsuku ezintathu lihlezi lami lingelakudla;

3Uma ngibamukisa ezindlini zabo bengadlanga, bayakuphelelwa amandla endleleni, ngokuba abanye babo bavela kude.

4Abafundi bakhe bamphendula bathi: “Kungavelaphi umuntu ukubasuthisa laba ngesinkwa lapha ehlane na?

5Wababuza wathi: Zingaki izinkwa eninazo? Basebesithi: Ziyisikhombisa.

6Wayala isixuku ukuba sihlale phansi emhlabathini; wazithabatha izinkwa eziyisikhombisa, wabonga, wazihlephula, wanika abafundi bakhe, ukuba bababele; bazibeka phambi kwabantu.

7Babanezinhlanzana eziyingcosana; wabusisa, wathi mazibekwe phambi kwabo nazo.

8Badla, basutha, babutha imvuthuluka eseleyo, amaqoma ayisikhombisa.

9Abadlayo babengaba yizinkulungwane ezine; wayesebamukisa.

10Wasengena masinyane emkhunjini kanye labafundi bakhe, waya emaphandleni aseDalmanutha.

11Base bephuma abaFarisi, baqala ukuphikisana naye, befuna kuye isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini, bemlinga.

12Wabubula kakhulu emoyeni wakhe, wathi: “Lesi sizukulwane sifunelani isibonakaliso na? ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Lesi sizukulwane asiyikunikwa sibonakaliso.

13Wabashiya, wabuye wangena emkhunjini, waya ngaphesheya.

14Kepha abafundi babekhohliwe ukuphatha izinkwa;

15Wasebalaya wathi: Qaphelani, lixwaye imvubelo yabaFarisi lemvubelo kaHerodi.

16Basebekhulumisana bodwa, besithi: Kungoba singelazinkwa.

17Kwathi uJesu ekwazi wathi kubo: Kungani liphikisana ngokuthi lingelazinkwa? anikaqondi, anikaqondi na? Inhliziyo yenu iselukhuni na?

18Ninamehlo, aniboni na? Ninezindlebe anizwa na? anikhumbuli na?

19Mhla ngihlephula izinkwa eziyisihlanu kwabayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu, nabutha iziqabetho ezingaki ezigcwele imvuthuluka na? Bathi kuye: “Ishumi nambili.”

20Lapho abayisikhombisa kwabayizinkulungwane ezine, nabutha iziqabetho ezingaki ezigcwele imvuthuluka na? Basebesithi: Ziyisikhombisa.

21Wathi kubo: “Kungani ningaqondi na?

22Wafika eBetsayida; basebeletha kuye isiphofu, bamncenga ukuthi asithinte.

23Wayibamba ngesandla impumputhe, wayiyisa ngaphandle komuzi; wafela amathe emehlweni ayo, wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwayo, wayibuza ukuthi ibona utho yini.

24Yasiphakamisa amehlo, yathi: Ngibona abantu behamba kungathi yizihlahla.

25Emva kwalokho wabuye wabeka izandla phezu kwamehlo aso, wasiphakamisa, sasisindiswa, sababona bonke kahle.

26Waseyithuma endlini yayo, esithi: Ungangeni emzini, ungatsheli muntu emzini.

27UJesu waphuma nabafundi bakhe baya emizini yaseKesariya Filipi; besendleleni wababuza abafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Abantu bathi ngingubani na?

28Basebephendula bathi: UJohane uMbhabhathizi; labanye bathi: Ngomunye wabaprofethi.

29Wasesithi kubo: Lina-ke lithi ngingubani? UPetru waphendula, wathi kuye: “Wena unguKristu.

30Wabayala ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ngaye.

31Waqala ukubafundisa ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuhlupheka ngokuningi, ilahlwe ngamalunga, nabapristi abakhulu, nababhali, ibulawe, ibuye ivuke emva kwezinsuku ezintathu.

32Lelo zwi walikhuluma obala. UPetru wamthatha, waqala ukumkhuza.

33Esetshibilika, wakhangela abafundi bakhe, wamkhuza uPetro, wathi: Suka emva kwami, Sathane, ngoba kawuqondi okukaNkulunkulu kodwa okwabantu.

34Wasebizela kuye ixuku kanye labafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: Loba ngubani ofuna ukungilandela, kazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.

35Ngokuba yilowo nalowo othanda ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; kodwa loba ngubani olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa yami langevangeli, yena uzakusindisa.

36Ngokuba kuyakumsizani umuntu, uma ezuza izwe lonke, alahlekelwe umphefumulo wakhe?

37Kumbe umuntu anganikela ngani kube yisihlengo somphefumulo wakhe?

38Ngakho-ke yilowo nalowo oyakuba namahloni ngami nangamazwi ami kulesi sizukulwane esifebayo nesonayo; nayo iNdodana yomuntu iyakuba namahloni ngaye, lapho iza ngenkazimulo kaYise kanye nezingelosi ezingcwele.
