1 Uthe ke edlula, wabona umntu obe eyimfama kwasekuzalweni kwakhe.2 Bambuza ke abafundi bakhe, besithi, Rabhi, ngubani na owonayo, ngulo, ngabazali bakhe, sini na, ukuze azalwe eyimfama nje?3 Waphendula uYesu wathi, Akone lo, akone bazali bakhe; uzelwe eyimfama ukuze ibonakalaliselwe kuye imisebenzi kaThixo.4 Ndimelwe kukuyisebenza imisebenzi yowandithumayo, kusesemini; kuza ubusuku, xa kungekho namnye unako ukusebenza.5 Xa ndisesehlabathini, ndilukhanyiselo lwehlabathi.6 Akuba etshilo, watshica emhlabeni, wenza udaka ngamathe, wawaqaba amehlo emfama ngodaka olo.7 Wathi kuyo, Yiya kuhlamba echibini leSilowa (oko kukuthi ngentetho evakalayo, Thunyiwe). Yemka ngoko, yaya yahlamba, yeza ibona.

8 Baye ngoko abamelwane, nababembona ngaphambili ukuba uyimfama, besithi, Lo asinguye na obehleli engqiba?9 Abanye babesithi, Nguye lo; bambi ke bathi, ufana naye; yena ke wayesithi, Ndinguye.10 Babesithi ngoko kuye, Atheni na ukuvuleka amehlo akho?11 Waphendula yena wathi, Umntu ekuthiwa nguYesu wenze udaka, waqaba amehlo am, wathi kum, Yiya echibini leSilowa, uhlambe; ndiyile ke ndahlamba, ndabuya ndibona.12 Bathi ngoko kuye, Uphi na yena? Athi, Andazi.

13 Bamzisa kubaFarisi lowo ubefudula eyimfama.14 Ke kaloku yaye iyisabatha, oko uYesu wenza udaka, wawavula amehlo akhe.15 Babuya ngoko ke bambuza nabaFarisi, ukuba utheni na ukuba abuye abone. Wathi ke yena kubo, Ubeke udaka emehlweni am, ndaza ndahlamba; ndiyabona ke.16 Babesithi ngoko abathile bakubaFarisi, Lo mntu asingowakwaThixo, ngokuba isabatha akayigcini. Babesithi abanye, Angathini na umntu ongumoni ukwenza imiqondiso engakanana? Bathi qheke kubini.17 Babuya bathi kwimfama, Uthini na wena ngaye, ewavulile nje amehlo akho? Uthe ke yena, Ungumprofeti.18 Akakholwa ngoko amaYuda ngaye, ukuba ebeyimfama, wabuye wabona, ada abiza abazali balowo ubuye wabona.19 Aza ababuza esithi, Lo ngunyana wenu na, enithi nina wazalwa eyimfama? Phofu ubona ngani na ngoku?20 Abazali bakhe bawaphendula bathi, Siyazi ukuba lo ngunyana wethu, kwanokuba ke wazalwa eyimfama;21 le nto ke abonayo ngoku asazi, novule amehlo akhe, asimazi thina; uselemkhulu yena, buzani kuye, wozithethela.22 Batsho abazali bakhe, ngokuba babesoyika amaYuda; kuba amaYuda abeselenqophisene ngokuthi, Ukuba uthe umntu wamvuma ukuba nguKristu, aze akhutshwe esikhungwini.23 Kungenxa yoko abazali bakhe bathi, Uselemkhulu, buzani kuye.24 Ambiza ngoko okwesibini umntu obeyimfama, athi kuye, Zukisa uThixo; siyazi thina ukuba lo mntu ungumoni.25 Uphendule ngoko yena, wathi, Ukuba ungumoni, andazi; ndazi nto-nye, eyokuba ndibe ndiyimfama nje, ngoku ndiyabona.26 Abuye ke athi kuye, Wenze ntoni na kuwe? utheni na ukuwavula amehlo akho?27 Wawaphendula wathi, Sendinixelele, naza aneva; nithandelani na ukubuya nive? Nani ningaba nithanda ukuba ngabafundi bakhe na?28 Amtshabhisa ngoko athi, Nguwe umfundi wakhe; ke thina singabafundi bakaMoses.29 Siyazi thina, ukuba uThixo uthethile kuMoses; lo yena asimazi apho avela khona.30 Waphendula umntu lowo, wathi kuwo, Nasi apha isimanga, ukuthi nina ningazi apho avela khona; ukanti uwavulile amehlo am.31 Siyazi ke ukuba uThixo akabeva aboni; kodwa ukuba umntu uthi amhlonele uThixo, akwenze ukuthanda kwakhe, uyamva lowo.32 Kwasephakadeni akuzanga kuviwe ukuba umntu wakha wavula amehlo ozelwe eyimfama.33 Ukuba lo ebengenguye owakwaThixo, ebengenakwenza nto.34 Aphendula athi kuye, Wena wazalelwa ezonweni kanye; ufundisa thina na wena? Amkhuphela ngaphandle.

35 Weva uYesu ukuba amkhuphele ngaphandle. Uthe akumfumana wathi kuye, Wena uyakholwa na kuNyana kaThixo?36 Uphendule yena wathi, Ongubani na, Nkosi, ukuze ndikholwe kuye?37 Uthe ke uYesu kuye, Umbonile; nguye lo uthetha nawe.38 Wathi ke yena, Ndiyakholwa, Nkosi. Waza waqubuda kuye.

39 Wathi uYesu, Mna ndizele ugwebo kweli hlabathi, ukuze abangaboniyo babone, bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama.40 Baziva ezo nto abakubaFarisi ababenaye, bathi kuye, Singaba siziimfama nathi na?41 Uthe ke kubo uYesu, Ukuba beniziimfama, ngeningenasono; kungoku nithi, Siyabona; ke ngoko isono senu sihleli.
