UJesu Uphendula Amanzi Abe Liwayini
1Ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umthimba eKhana laseGalile. Unina kaJesu wayekhona, 2loJesu labafundi bakhe labo babenxusiwe emthimbeni. 3Kwathi iwayini seliphelile unina kaJesu wathi kuye, “Sebephelelwe liwayini.” 4Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Mama, mina lawe singena njani kulokho na? Isikhathi sami kasikafiki.” 5Unina wasesithi ezincekwini, “Libokwenza loba kuyini azalitshela khona.” 6Eduze kwalapho kwakumi izimbiza zamatshe eziyisithupha, uhlobo lolo abaJuda ababelusebenzisa enkonzweni yokuzihlambulula, ngayinye imbiza ingagcwala amalitha alikhulu kusiya ekhulwini elilamatshumi amahlanu. 7UJesu wathi ezincekwini, “Zigcwaliseni amanzi izimbiza lezi;” yikho bazigcwalisa zathi thwaca. 8Wasezitshela wathi, “Khathesi-ke khanini khonapho lise kumphathi wedili.” Benza njalo, 9umphathi wedili wahubula wawanambitha amanzi ayesephendulwe aba liwayini. Kakwazanga ukuthi lavela ngaphi, kodwa izince-ku ezaziwakhile amanzi zazisazi. Wasebizela umnyeni eceleni 10wathi, “Wonke umuntu uletha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, kuthi nxa izethekeli sezinathe kakhulu kube yikhona ekhupha elibi; kodwa wena ugodle elimnandi kuze kube khathesi.” 11Lo ummangaliso wakhe wokuqala, uJesu wawenza eKhana laseGalile. Wabonakalisa kanjalo inkazimulo yakhe, abafundi bakhe base bebeka ukholo lwabo kuye.UJesu UHlambulula Ithempeli
12Ngemva komthimba wasuka waya eKhaphenawume wayahlala izinsukwana ezimbalwa elonina, labafowabo labafundi bakhe. 13Kwase kuyisikhathi sePhasika labaJuda eleminyaka yonke, uJesu wasesiya eJerusalema. 14Emagumeni ethempeli wafumana abantu bethengisa izinkomo, izimvu lamajuba, labanye behlezi ematafuleni bentshintsha izimali. 15Yikho waseseluka izintambo wenza isaswebhu wabadudula bonke emagcekeni ethempeli, konke izimvu lezinkomo; wayichithiza imali yabantshintshi bayo, wagenqula amatafula abo. 16Wathi kulabo ababethengisa amajuba, “Akhupheni lapha! Likuthatha ngaphi ukwenza indlu kaBaba umkambo wokuthengiselana na?” 17Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Ukunqinekela indlu yakho kuzangidla ngaphakathi.” 18Lapho abaJuda base bemcindezela ngokuthi, “Ungasitshengisa mmangaliso bani ukubonisa amandla akho okwenza zonke lezi izinto na?” 19Wabaphendula uJesu wathi, “Dilizani ithempeli leli, kodwa mina ngizalimisa njalo ngezinsuku ezintathu.” 20AbaJuda baphendula bathi, “Sekuthethe iminyaka engamatshumi amane lesithupha ukwakha ithempeli leli, kodwa wena ungalivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?” 21Kodwa ithempeli ayekhulume ngalo kwakungumzimba wakhe. 22Ngemuva kokuvuswa kwakhe kwabafileyo abafundi bakhe bakukhumbula lokho ayekukhulumile. Ngakho bawukholwa uMbhalo kanye lamazwi uJesu awakhulumayo. 23Kwathi eseJerusalema eDilini lePhasika abantu abanengi bayibona imimangaliso ayeyenza base bekholwa ebizweni lakhe. 24Kodwa uJesu kazange aziyekelele kubo, ngokuba wayebazi bonke abantu. 25Wayengabudingi ubufakazi bomuntu, ngokuba wayekwazi okuphakathi komuntu.
