1Kwathi, xeshikweni uYesu ebewagqibile la mazwi, wanduluka kwelaseGalili, weza emideni yelakwaYuda, phesheya kweYordan. 2Zamlandela izihlwele ezininzi, waziphilisa apho.
3Kweza kuye abaFarisi bemlinga, besithi kuye, Kuvumelekile na ukuba umntu amale umfazi wakhe nangasiphi na isizathu? 4Uphendule ke wathi kubo, Anilesanga na ukuba owadalayo kwasekuqalekeni wabadala bayindoda nenkazana, wathi, 5Ngenxa yoko umntu womshiya uyise nonina, anamathele emfazini wakhe, baze abo babini babe nyama-nye? 6Ngako oko abasebabini, banyama-nye; oko ke ngoko uThixo akumanyileyo, makungahlulwa mntu.
7Bathi kuye, Phofu ibiyini na ukuba uMoses awise umthetho wokuthi, makamnike incwadi yokwahlukana, amale? 8Athi kubo, UMoses ngenxa yobulukhuni beentliziyo zenu wanivumela ukuba nibale abafazi benu; ke ekuqalekeni bekungenjalo. 9Ndithi ke kuni, Othe wamala umfazi wakhe, kungengaluhenyuzo, wazeka omnye, uyakrexeza; nalowo uzeka owaliweyo uyakrexeza.
10Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Ukuba unjalo umcimbi womntu nomfazi, akulungile ukuzeka. 11Wathi ke yena kubo, Asibantu bonke abaliqondayo elo lizwi; ngabo banikiweyo bodwa. 12Kuba kukho amathenwa azelwe enjalo kwasesizalweni sonina; kukho namathenwa athenwa ngabantu; kukho namathenwa azithenileyo ngenxa yobukumkani bamazulu. Lowo unokukuqonda oku makakuqonde.

13Kwaza kwaziswa kuye abantwana, ukuze abeke izandla phezu kwabo, athandaze; basuka abafundi babakhalimela. 14Wathi ke uYesu, Bayekeni abantwana, ningabaleli ukuza kum; kuba ubukumkani bamazulu bobabo banjalo. 15Wazibeka izandla phezu kwabo, wemka apho.

16Kwabonakala kusiza othile, wathi kuye, Mfundisi ulungileyo, yiyiphi na into elungileyo endingenza yona, ukuze ndibe nabo ubomi obungunaphakade? 17Uthe ke kuye, Yini na ukuba uthi ndilungile? Akukho ulungileyo, mnye kwaphela, nguThixo. Ukuba ke uthanda ukungena ebomini, yigcine imithetho. 18Athi kuye, Yiphi na? Wathi ke uYesu, Yona le: uze ungabulali, uze ungakrexezi, uze ungebi, uze ungangqini buxoki, 19beka uyihlo nonyoko; nawo lo: uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako. 20Ithi kuye indodana leyo, Zonke ezo zinto ndazigcina kwasebuncinaneni bam; ndisaswele ntoni na? 21Wathi uYesu kuyo, Ukuba unga ungafezeka, hamba uye kuthengisa ngeempahla zakho, uphe amahlwempu; wòba nobutyebi emazulwini; uze ke undilandele.
22Ilivile ke indodana ilizwi elo, yemka ibuhlungu; kuba ibinemfuyo eninzi.
23Wathi ke uYesu kubafundi bakhe, Inene, ndithi kuni, Koba ngenkankulu ukuba isityebi singene ebukumkanini bamazulu. 24Kananjalo ke ndithi kuni, Kulula ukuba inkamela iphumele entunjeni yenaliti, kunokuba isityebi singene ebukumkanini bukaThixo. 25Bakuva ke abafundi bakhe, bakhwankqiswa kakhulu, besithi, Ngubani na ke ongásindiswayo? 26Ondele ke uYesu, wathi kubo, Kubantu le nto ayinakwenzeka; ke kuye uThixo zonke izinto zinako ukwenzeka.
27Waphendula uPetros wathi kuye, Uyabona, thina sishiye iinto zonke sakulandela; siya kuba nantoni na ke? 28Wathi ke uYesu kubo, Inene, ndithi kuni, Nina nindilandeleyo, ekuzalweni okutsha, xa athe wahlala uNyana woMntu phezu kwetrone yozuko lwakhe, niya kuhlala nani phezu kweetrone ezilishumi elinambini, nigweba ezizweni ezilishumi elinazibini zakwaSirayeli. 29Umntu wonke oshiye izindlu, nokuba ngabazalwana, nokuba ngoodade, nokuba nguyise, nokuba ngunina, nokuba ngumfazi, nokuba ngabantwana, nokuba ngamasimi, ngenxa yegama lam, uya kwamkela kalikhulu, abudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade. 30Ke baninzi abokuqala abaya kuba ngabokugqibela, nabokugqibela abaya kuba ngabokuqala.
