Umfanekiso wabalimi besivini

9Waseqala ukutshela abantu lumfanekiso, esithi: Umuntu othile wahlanyela isivini, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi ^e, waya kwelinye ilizwe okwesikhathi eside ^f; 10kwathi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo wathuma inceku kubalimi, ukuze bayinike okwesithelo sesivini; kodwa abalimi bayitshaya bayithumeza ize. 11Wasethuma njalo enye inceku; layo bayitshaya bayiyangisa, bayithumeza ize ^g. 12Wasephinda ethuma leyesithathu; layo leyo bayilimaza bayiphosela ngaphandle ^h. 13Umninisivini wasesithi: Ngizakwenza njani? Ngizathuma indodana yami ethandekayo; mhlawumbe bebona yona bazayihlonipha. 14Kodwa abalimi beyibona bazindlisana ⁱ, besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, ukuze ilifa libe ngelethu. 15Bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala. Kambe uzakwenzani kubo umninisivini? 16Uzakuza, ababhubhise labobalimi, anikele isivini kwabanye. Bekuzwa basebesithi: Akungabinjalo ^j! 17Kodwa wabakhangela wathi ^k: Pho kuyini lokhu okulotshiweyo, okuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi ^l? 18Wonke owela phezu kwalelolitshe, uzaphahlazwa; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe, lizamchoboza.

Umthelo kaKesari

19Abapristi abakhulu lababhali basebedinga ukumbamba ngezandla ngalelohola, kodwa besaba abantu; ngoba baqedisisa ukuthi wayekhuluma lumfanekiso emelane labo ^m.

20Basebemqaphela ⁿ, bethuma ^o inhloli ^p, ezazitshaya ezilungileyo, ukuze bambambe ekukhulumeni ^q, ukuze bamnikele egunyeni lemandleni ^r ombusi ^s. 21Bambuza-ke, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena ukhuluma ufundise ngokuqondileyo, kawemukeli buso, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso ^t. 22Sivunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari, kumbe hatshi ^u? 23Kodwa wabubona ubuqili babo ^v, wathi kubo: Lingilingelani? 24Ngitshengisani udenariyo*; ulomfanekiso lombhalo kabani? Basebephendula besithi: OkaKesari. 25Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho nikani uKesari okukaKesari, loNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu. 26Basebesehluleka ukumbamba ngelizwi lakhe phambi kwabantu; basebemangaliswa yimpendulo yakhe, bathula ^w.

Ukuvuka kwabafileyo

27Kwasekusiza kuye abathile babaSadusi, abaphika besithi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, bambuza, 28besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wasibhalela ukuthi: Uba kusifa umfowabo womuntu elomkakhe, lo abesesifa engelamntwana, umfowabo kamthathe umfazi, abesemvusela inzalo umfowabo ^x. 29Ngakho kwakulezelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi, wafa engelamntwana; 30lowesibili wamthatha umfazi, laye lo wafa engelamntwana; 31lowesithathu wamthatha. Kwaba njalo-ke lakwabayisikhombisa; abatshiyanga abantwana, bafa. 32Ekucineni kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi. 33Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzafika abe ngumkabani kubo? Ngoba abayisikhombisa babelaye engumkabo.

34UJesu wasephendula wathi kubo: Abantwana balumhlaba bayathatha, bendiswe; 35kodwa labo okuzathiwa bafanele ukuzuza lowomhlaba lokuvuka kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswa ^y; 36ngoba bengelakuphinda bafe; ngoba banjengezingilosi, njalo bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, bengabantwana bokuvuka ^z. 37Kodwa ukuthi abafileyo bayavuswa, loMozisi wakutshengisa esihlahleni ^aa, lapho eyibiza iNkosi ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama loNkulunkulu kaIsaka loNkulunkulu kaJakobe ^ab. 38Futhi kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo; ngoba bonke baphilela yena ^ac.

39Abathile bababhali basebephendula bathi: Mfundisi, ukhulume kuhle ^ad. 40Njalo kababanga lesibindi sokuphinda bambuze ulutho ^ae.

UKristu losendo lwakhe

41Wasesithi kubo: Batsho njani ukuthi uKristu uyiNdodana kaDavida ^af? 42Ngoba uDavida uqobo lwakhe uthi encwadini yeziHlabelelo: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, 43ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho ^ag. 44Ngakho uDavida umbiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, pho uyindodana yakhe njani?

UJesu usola ababhali

45Kwathi besalalele abantu bonke, wathi kubafundi bakhe: 46Xwayani ababhali abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izembatho ezinde, njalo bethanda ukubingelelwa emidangeni ^ah, lezihlalo eziqakathekileyo emasinagogeni ^{ai , aj}, lezihlalo zabahloniphekayo ezilayelweni; 47abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, bekhuleka isikhathi eside ngokuzenzisa. Laba bazakwemukela ukulahlwa okukhulu ^{ak , al}.
