5 Buka, sicuku besisikhulu kakhulu kangangekutsi benta kutsi sehlukaniswe ngeticumbi letilishumi nakubili.
6 Labalishumi nakubili basifundzisa sicuku; buka, benta kutsi sicuku siguce phansi, sithandaze kuBabe egameni laJesu.

19 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Jesu wesuka waphuma emkhatsini wabo, wahamba libangana nje wakhwesha kubo waphindze waguca, watsi:
20 Babe, ngiyakubonga kutsi ubanikile Moya loNgcwele laba lengibakhetsile; futsi kungenca yekukholwa kwabo kimi kutsi ngibakhetsile emhlabeni.
21 Babe, ngiyakucela kutsi ubanike Moya loNgcwele bonkhe labo labayawukholwa emavini abo.

24 Futsi kwenteka kutsi ngesikhatsi Jesu sekathandaze kanjalo kuBabe, weta kubafundzi bakhe, buka, bebasachubeka, bangayekeli, kuthandaza kuye; abatange baphindzaphindze emagama lamanyenti, ngoba bebaniketiwe kutsi bathandazele ini, futsi bebagcwaliswe ngenshisekelo.
25 Futsi kwenteka kutsi Jesu wababusisa ngesikhatsi bathandaza kuye; buso bakhe bamamatseka etikwabo, kukhanya kwebuso bakhe kwakhatimula etikwabo, buka baba mhlophe njengebuso nanjengetingubo taJesu; buka bumhlophe babo bebendlula bonkhe bumhlophe, yebo, bekute lutfo emhlabeni lebeyingaba mhlophe njengalobumhlophe babo.
26 Jesu watsi kubo: Chubekani nithandaze: futsi abatange bayekele kuthandaza.
27 Waphindze wafulatsela kubo, wahamba libangana wabese uyaguca; waphindze wathandaza kuBabe, watsi:
28 Babe, ngiyakubonga kutsi sewubahlambululile labo lengibakhetsile, ngenca yelukholo lwabo, ngiyabathandazela, kanjalo nalabo labayawukholwa emavini abo, kutsi nabo bahlanjululwe kimi, ngekukholwa emavini abo, ngisho nanjengobe nabo bahlanjululiwe kimi.
29 Babe, angithandazeli umhlaba, kodvwa labo longinike bona labasemhlabeni, ngenca yelukholo lwabo, kute bahlanjululwe kimi, kute ngibe kubo njengobe nawe, Babe, ukimi, kute sibe munye, kute ngidvunyiswe kubo.
30 Ngesikhatsi Jesu sekawakhulumile lamavi waphindze weta kubafundzi bakhe; buka bathandaza kuye ngalokujulile, ngaphandle kwekuyekela; waphindze wamamatseka kubo; buka baba mhlophe, ngisho njengaJesu.
31 Futsi kwenteka kutsi waphindze wahamba libangana lelidze nje wathandaza kuBabe;
32 Lulwimi ngeke luwakhulume emavi lawakhuluma, noma abhalwe ngumuntfu emagama lawakhuluma.
33 Sicuku samuva saphindze sakufakazela loko; tinhlitiyo tabo tavuleka baphindze bawacondza etinhlitiyweni tabo lamavi lawakhuluma.
34 Noko, bekamakhulu kakhulu aphindze amangalisa emavi lawakhuluma kangangekutsi angeke abhalwe, noma ashiwo ngumuntfu.
35 Futsi kwenteka kutsi ngesikhatsi Jesu sekacedzile kuthandaza waphindze weta kubafundzi bakhe, watsi kubo: Lukholo lolukhulu kangaka angikate ngilubone emkhatsini wawo onkhe emaJuda; ngaloko-ke angikhonanga kuwakhombisa timangaliso letinkhulu kangaka, ngenca yekungakholwa kwawo.
36 Ngicinisile ngitsi kini, kute namunye wabo lowake wabona tintfo letinkhulu kangaka njengobe nine nitibonile; noma beve tintfo letinkhulu kanje njengobe nine nitivile.
