- Kaloku ndagqiba kwelokuba ndingazi nto phakathi kwenu, ingenguye uYesu Krestu, naye ke ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
- Ngaba ùba andinako ukumcela uBawo, aze kwangoku andikhuphele amawaka-waka ezithunywa zezulu eziyimikhosi engaphezu kweshumi elinambini?
- Ke ngoko, ukuba mna endiyiNkosi noMfundisi wenu, ndithe ndahlamba iinyawo zenu, nani ke nimelwe kukuhlambana iinyawo.
- Ndifuna bahlale bomelele, bemanyene ngothando, ukuze bafikelele ekuqinisekeni ngokupheleleyo ngengqondo, beyiqiqa imfihlelo kaThixo. Loo mfihlelo ke nguKrestu ngenkqu.
- Besakhangele ukumka kwakhe, bondele esibhakabhakeni apho, nango amadoda amabini, ambethe ezimhlophe, emi ngakubo, abuza athi: “Madoda, maGalili, nimele ntoni apha nikhangele phezulu nje? UYesu lo nimbone enyuselwa ezulwini, uya kubuya kwangolu hlobo nimbone esimka ngalo.”
- Ngoko ke yiNkosi ngokwayo eza kukunika umqondiso! Kaloku intombi ikhulelwe, ibe ke iza kuzala unyana, imthiye igama elinguImanuweli.
- Bambona ehamba phezu kwamanzi olwandle, baza bathi: “Ngumhlola lo!” Batsho bakhala, kuba bambona bonke, babethwa luvalo. Kwangoko ke wathetha nabo, wathi kubo: “Zolani; ndim; musani ukoyika.”
- UYesu wabuya eJordan ezele nguMoya oyiNgcwele, wajikeleza entlango ekhokelwa nguMoya iintsuku ezimashumi mane, elingwa ngumtyholi. Akatyanga nto ngezo ntsuku, waza walamba ekupheleni kwazo.
- KuKrestu akusekho mJuda nantlanga, akusekho khoboka namntu ukhululekileyo, ndoda nabhinqa. Ninonke ningumntu omnye ngokumanywa noYesu Krestu.
- Kodwa isono sika-Adam asinakulinganiswa nesisa sikaThixo. Kaloku naxa kwafa abantu abaninzi nje ngenxa yesono salowo mnye unguAdam, lona ubabalo lukaThixo esalufumana ngaloo mntu mnye unguKrestu, lwaphuphumela kubantu abaninzi ngakumbi.
- Akakho apha, uvukile. Khumbulani awakuthetha kuni esekwelaseGalili, esithi: ‘UNyana woLuntu umelwe kukunikelwa ezandleni zaboni, abethelelwe emnqamlezweni, athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke.’
- Akuba etshilo uYesu, wanyuselwa ezulwini, bejongile abafundi bakhe. Lamsitha ilifu, ababa sambona.
- Kambe ke nawe, Bhetelehem yase-Efrata,
udeleke unjalo kwizindlu zakwaJuda,
kanti ke kwalapha kuwe ndiza kuvelisa
lowo uya kuba ngumlawuli kaSirayeli,
omveli yakhe isukela kwamandulo,
kwimihla yasephakadeni. - UKrestu unjengomzimba, wona unamalungu amaninzi, kodwa ube wona umnye.
- Ke uMmeli uMoya oyiNgcwele, lowo uBawo aya kumthuma egameni lam, uya kunifundisa zonke izinto, anikhumbuze ngako konke endithe ndanixelela kona.
- UPawulos wabachazela wathi: “Ubhaptizo lukaYohane lona lwalusalatha inguquko. Yena wayebaxelela abantu ukuba bazinikele kulowo wayesiza emva kwakhe; nguYesu ke lowo.”
- Ingakanani ke yona inkululeko esiyifumana ngegazi likaKrestu? Yena wazinikela kuThixo emsulwa, ngoMoya ongunaphakade, wazenza idini. Ligazi lakhe eliya kuzihlambulula ezethu izazela emisebenzini efileyo, lisenze sikulungele ukukhonza uThixo ophilayo.
- Akuba eyimfimfithile iwayini uYesu wathi: “Kugqityiwe.”
Wee qubudu intloko, waphuma umphefumlo. - Ke ekubhaptizweni kwento eninzi yabantu, noYesu ebhaptiziwe, kwathi ethandaza, lavuleka izulu, wehlela phezu kwakhe uMoya oyiNgcwele enembonakalo yehobe. Kwavakala nezwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: “UnguNyana wam endimthandayo wena; ndikholisiwe nguwe!”
- Ke nam bendingamazi, kodwa lowo wandithumayo ukuba ndibhaptize ngamanzi, nguye owathi kum: ‘Lowo ùbone uMoya esihla phezu kwakhe, ahlale kuye, nguye obhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.’
- Nina makhosikazi, bathobeleni ngokuzinikela abayeni benu, kanye ngale ndlela niyithobela ngayo iNkosi. Kaloku indoda iyintloko yomfazi, kanye njengokuba noKrestu eyintloko yebandla. Ke yena uKrestu ukwanguMhlanguli walo ibandla elingumzimba wakhe.
- Vuya ngenene, ntombindini inguZiyon!
Danduluka, wena ntombi inguJerusalem!
Khangela, ukumkani wakho uza kuwe enobulungisa, engumoyisi,
ethobekile, ekhwele idonki,
nditsho ithole, inkonyane yedonki. - Wadanduluka ke uYesu ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Bawo, ndiyawunikela ezandleni zakho umoya wam!” Akuba etshilo, waphuma umphefumlo.
- Isithunywa sathi kubafazi abo: “Sanukoyika nina. Ndiyazi ukuba nifuna uYesu obebethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Akakho apha. Uvukile, njengoko watshoyo. Yizani apha, niyibone indawo awayekuyo.”
- Niyabona, siya eJerusalem, apho uNyana woLuntu aya kunikelwa khona kubabingeleli abaziintloko nakubachazi-mthetho. Baya kumgwebela ukufa, bamnikele ezandleni zeentlanga. Zona ke ziya kumenza intlekisa, zimkatse, zimbethelele emnqamlezweni; aze athi ngomhla wesithathu abuye avuke ekufeni.
