21. kodwa asazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni ebona nje ngoku; nalowo uwavulileyo amehlo akhe asimazi. Buzani kuye; selemdala, unako ukuziphendulela.”
22. Abazali bakhe batsho kuba besoyika amaJuda, kuba wona ayeselevumelene ngokuthi ovumayo ukuba uYesu unguye *uKrestu, uya kusikwa *endlwini yesikhungo.
23. Kungoko ke abazali bakhe batshoyo ukuthi: “Buzani kuye; selemdala.”
24. Ke ngoko amaJuda aphinda ambuza loo mntu wayezelwe eyimfama, athi kuye: “Sikufungisa uThixo ukuba uthethe inyaniso. Thina siyazi okokuba lo mntu ngumoni.”
25. Waphendula wathi: “Ukuba ungumoni, nokuba akanguye, andazi. Ndazi nto-nye kuphela; bendiyimfama, ngoku ke ndiyabona.”
26. Aza athi kuye: “Ukwenze ntoni kanye ukukuvula amehlo?”
27. Wawaphendula wathi: “Sendinixelele nje, naza anaphulaphula; kutheni ukuba nifune ukuva kwakhona? Ngaba nani nifuna ukuba ngabafundi bakhe?”
28. Aza amaJuda amthuka, atsho nokuthi: “Nguwe ongumfundi walaa mfo; thina singabafundi bakaMosis.
29. Siyazi okokuba uMosis wathetha egunyaziswa nguThixo; kodwa yena lo mfo asimazi, singazi nalapho avela khona.”
30. Waphendula wathi: “Simanga! Nina nithi animazi apho avela khona, kanti nguye owavulileyo amehlo am.
31. Kuyaqondakala okokuba uThixo akabeva aboni; kuphela uva abo bamhloneleyo ngokwenza oko akuthandayo.
32. Okoko ladalwayo ihlabathi akuzange kuviwe ngomntu owakha wavula amehlo omntu ozelwe eyimfama.
33. Ukuba lo mntu ebengaveli kuThixo nge-engenako mpela ukwenza into enje.”
34. Amphendula athi: “Singathini ukufundiswa nguwe, ntondini eyazalelwa esonweni!” Waza ke wasikwa *endlwini yesikhungo.
35. UYesu weva okokuba umntu lowo usikiwe. Akumfumana wathi kuye: “Uyakholwa na kuye *uNyana woLuntu?”
36. Waphendula yena wathi: “Ndixelele ukuba ngongubani lowo, Nkosi, ukuze nam ndikholwe kuye.”
37. Wathi kuye uYesu: “Sewumbonile; ngulo uthethayo nawe ngoku.”
38. Waza wathi: “Ndiyakholwa, Nkosi.” Watsho waguqa phambi koYesu.
39. Waza wathi uYesu: “Mna ndize kweli hlabathi ukuze abantu bacaluleke: ukuze iimfama zibone, bathi ababonayo babe ziimfama.”
