1 Waphuma apho ke weza kwelakowabo; bamlandela abafundi bakhe.2 Uthe kwakubakho isabatha, waqala ukufundisa endlwini yesikhungu; baza abaninzi, bakuva, bakhwankqiswa, besithi, Lo uzizuze phi na ezi zinto? Bubulumko buni na obu abunikiweyo, le nto nemisebenzi yamandla enjengale yenzekayo ngezandla zakhe?3 Lo akayiyo na ingcibi yokwakha, unyana kaMariya, umzalwana ke kaYakobi noYose noYuda noSimon? Noodade babo abakuthi apha na? Baye bekhubeka kuye.4 Wayesithi ke uYesu kubo, Umprofeti akasweli mbeko, kungaba kukowabo, nakwizizalwana zakhe, nakokwabo.5 Wayengenako ukwenza na mnye umsebenzi wamandla khona apho, kwakuphela ukubeka izandla phezu kwemilwelwe embalwa, wayiphilisa.6 Wamangaliswa kukungakholwa kwabo. Wayeyihambahamba imizana ejikeleza, efundisa.

7 Ubabizele kuye abalishumi elinababini, waqala ukubathuma ngababini, ngababini; wayebanika igunya koomoya abangcolileyo;8 wabathethela ngelithi, mabangaphathi nto yandlela, ibe ngumsimelelo wodwa; bangaphathi ngxowa, nasonka, namali embhinqweni;9 bathi kodwa banxibe izixathula; bangambathi neengubo zangaphantsi ngambini.10 Wayesithi kubo, Apho nithe nangena endlwini, hlalani khona nide nimke kuloo ndawo.11 Abo sukuba benganamkeli, benganiva nokuniva, nakuphuma kuloo ndawo, vuthululani uthuli oluphantsi kweenyawo zenu, kube bubungqina oko kubo. Inene ndithi kuni, Koba nokunyamezeleka okweSodom nokweGomora ngomhla womgwebo, kunokwaloo mzi.12 Baphuma bavakalisa ukuba mabaguquke abantu.13 Bakhupha needemon ezininzi, bayithambisa ngeoli imilwelwe emininzi, beyiphilisa.

14 Ke kaloku wakuva oko ukumkani uHerode (kuba igama lakhe lalithe laduma); wayesithi, Uvukile kwabafileyo uYohane umbhaptizi; ngenxa yoko le misebenzi yamandla iyenzeka ngaye.15 Baye abanye besithi, NguEliya; baye ke abanye besithi, Ngumprofeti, nokuba ufana nomnye wakubaprofeti.16 Ekuvile ke oko uHerode, wathi, Lo nguYohane, lowa ndamnqamla intloko mna; uvukile kwabafileyo.17 Kuba uHerode ngokwakhe wabethe wathuma, wambamba uYohane, wambopha entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiya, umfazi kaFilipu umzalwana wakhe; kuba ebemzekile.18 Kuba wayesithi uYohane kuHerode, Akuvumelekile ukuba ube nomfazi womzalwana wakho.19 Ke kaloku uHerodiya waba nenqala ngakuye, wafuna ukumbulala; kodwa akabanga nako;20 kuba uHerode wayemoyika uYohane, emazi ukuba uyindoda elilungisa, engcwele, wayemgcinile; wayesithi ke akumva, enze iindawo ezininzi, amve kamnandi.21 Kwathi, kwakufika umhla owamlungelayo uHerodiya, xeshikweni uHerode ngemini yokuzalwa kwakhe wayezenzela isidlo izidwangube zakhe, nabathetheli-waka, namanene elaseGalili,22 yakubon’ ukuba ingene intombi kaHerodiya lowo, yangqungqa, yamkholisa uHerode nabo babehleli ndawonye naye. Wathi ukumkani kwintombazana leyo, Ndicele into osukuba uyithanda; ndokupha.23 Wayifungela ngelithi, Into othe wayicela kum ndokupha, kude kube kwisiqingatha sobukumkani bam.24 Iphumile ke yathi kunina, Ndicele ntoni na? Wathi ke yena, Intloko kaYohane umbhaptizi.25 Yeza kungena kwaoko ngokungxama kuye ukumkani, yacela, isithi, Ndithanda ukuba undinike kalokunje ngesitya intloko kaYohane umbhaptizi.26 Waba buhlungu kakhulu ukumkani; noko, ngenxa yezifungo zakhe, nangenxa yabo babehleli ndawonye naye, akathandanga kuyilandulela.27 Uthe kwaoko ukumkani wasusa umsiki, wamthethela ngelithi, mayiziswe intloko yakhe. Wesuka waya ke lowo, wamnqumla intloko entolongweni.28 Wayizisa intloko yakhe ngesitya, wayinika intombazana leyo; yaza intombazana yayinika unina.29 Bekuvile oko abafundi bakhe, beza basithabatha isidumbu sakhe, basibeka engcwabeni.

30 Bathi bahlanganisana abapostile kuYesu, bambikela iinto zonke, ezo babezenzile, kwanezo babezifundisile.31 Wathi kubo, Yizani nina ngasese kwindawo eyintlango, niphumle kancinane; kuba bebaninzi abezayo nabemkayo; babengenalo ke nethutyana lokuba badle.32 Bemka ngomkhombe ngasese, baya kwindawo eyintlango.33 Isihlwele sababona bemka bathi abaninzi bamazi, babalekela khona ngeenyawo, bevela kuyo yonke imizi; babaphangela, bathuthelana kuye.34 Uthe ke akuphuma uYesu, wabona isihlwele esikhulu; wasikwa yimfesane ngabo, ngokuba babenjengezimvu ezingenamalusi; waqala ukubafundisa iindawo ezininzi.35 Kuthi kwakubon’ ukuba seyihambile kakhulu imini, beze kuye abafundi bakhe, bathi, Le ndawo iyintlango, nemini seyihambile kakhulu;36 bandulule bemke, baye emaphandleni ajikelezileyo nasemizaneni, bazithengele izonka; kuba bengenanto bangayidlayo.37 Waphendula wathi kubo, Bapheni nina badle. Bathi kuye, Simke na siye kuthenga izonka ngeedenariyo ezimakhulu mabini, sibaphe badle?38 Uthi ke yena kubo, Izonka eninazo zingaphi na? Hambani niye kukhangela. Besazi, bathi, Zihlanu, neentlanzi ezimbini.39 Wabathethela ngelithi, mababangqengqise bonke, babe ziziqhu ngeziqhu engceni eluhlaza.40 Bahlala phantsi beziingcamba ngeengcamba ngamakhulu, nangamashumi ngamahlanu.41 Wazithabatha izonka zozihlanu neentlanzi zombini, wathi ekhangele ezulwini wasikelela, waziqhekeza izonka, wanika abafundi bakhe, ukuba babeke phambi kwabo; wathi neentlanzi zombini wazabela bona bonke.42 Badla ke bonke bahlutha.43 Baza basusa izitya zizele ngamaqhekeza zalishumi elinazibini, basusa nakwiintlanzi.44 Baye abo babezidla izonka ezo bekumawaka omahlanu amadoda.

45 Wabanyanzela kwaoko abafundi bakhe ukuba bangene emkhombeni, bamandulele baye ngaphesheya eBhetesayida, lo gama asindululayo isihlwele yena.46 Akuba ebulisene nabo, wemka waya kuthandaza entabeni.47 Ke kaloku, kwakuhlwa, umkhombe ubuphakathi elwandle, waye yena eyedwa emhlabeni.48 Wababona bebulaleka ekuqhubeni; kuba umoya ububavele ngaphambili. Athi ngolwesine ulindo lobusuku eze kubo, ehamba phezu kolwandle; wanga uza kugqitha kubo.49 Bathi ke, bakumbona ehamba phezu kolwandle, baba ngumshologu, bakhala;50 kuba bonke bambona, bakhathazeka. Wathetha kwaoko nabo, wathi kubo, Yomelelani; ndim; musani ukoyika.51 Wenyuka waya kubo emkhombeni, wadamba umoya. Bathi nqa ngaphakathi kwabo ngokuncamisileyo kunene, bamangaliswa;52 kuba bengakuqondanga okwezonka; kuba intliziyo yabo yabe iqaqadekile.53 Bakuphumela, bafika ezweni laseGenesarete, batsalela elunxwemeni.54 Bakuphuma emkhombeni, bamazi kwaoko abantu;55 bawubaleka wonke loo mmandla, baqala ukubathwala ngeenkuko abafayo, bebasa apho babemva ukuba ukhona.56 Nalapho sukuba ebengena khona, nokuba kusemzaneni, nokuba kusemzini, nokuba kusemaphandleni, babesithi, bababeke abafayo ezindaweni zembutho, bambongoze ukuba khe bachukumise intshinga yengubo yakhe. Baye ke besindiswa abasukuba bemchukumisa.
