10. Bambuza ke, bathi: “Avulwe yintoni amehlo akho?”
11. Wathi yena: “Laa mntu kuthiwa nguYesu, wenza udaka, waqaba ngalo amehlo am, wathi mandiye eSilowa, ndihlambe. Ndiyile ke, ndahlamba, aza avuleka amehlo am.”
12. Baza bathi: “Uphi loo mntu ngoku?”Ke yena wathi: “Andazi.”
13. Bamthatha ke loo mfo owayeyimfama, bamsa *kubaFarasi;
14. kuba *kwakunguMhla wokuPhumla loo mini uYesu wenza udaka ngayo, wavula amehlo akhe.
15. Ke ngoko abaFarasi bambuza lo mfo okokuba uphiliswe njani ebumfameni bakhe, waza wathi kubo: “Undiqabe amehlo ngodaka, ndahlamba, aza avuleka amehlo am.”
16. Baza abaFarasi abathile bathi: “Loo mntu akanakuba ngowakwaThixo, kuba akawuhloneli uMhla woPhumlo.”Kodwa abanye babesithi: “Ukuba ebengumoni ebenokuthini ukwenza imiqondiso elolu hlobo?” Kwabakho impikiswano ke phakathi kwabo.
17. Ke ngoko abaFarasi baphinda bathi kuloo mntu wayeyimfama: “Wena uthini ngaye, inguwe nje ovulwe amehlo?”Waza wathi: “*Ungumshumayeli.”
