41Vakapindura vakati, “Achaparadza varimi vakaipa ava, uye achapa munda womuzambiringa kuna vamwe varimi avo vachazomupa mugove wake wezvirimwa pakukohwa.”

42Jesu akati kwavari, “Hamuna kutomborava here muMagwaro panoti:

“ ‘Ibwe rakarambwa navavaki
ndiro rakazova musoro wekona.
Ishe aita izvi,
uye zvinoshamisa pamberi pedu’?
43“Naizvozvo ndinokuudzai kuti umambo hwaMwari huchatorwa kubva kwamuri huchipiwa kuvanhu vachabereka zvibereko zvahwo. 44Uyo anowira pamusoro pebwe iri achavhunika kuita zvidimbu zvidimbu asi uyo warichawira achapwanyiwa.”
