19. Kwase kufika umbhali, wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, ngizakukulandela, noma uya ngaphi.”
20. UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Izimpungushe zinemigodi, nezinyoni zezulu zinezidleke, kepha iNdodana yomuntu kayinandawo, lapho ingacamelisa khona ikhanda.”
21. Kodwa omunye wabafundi bakhe wathi kuye: “Nkosi, ngivumele ngiye kuqala ukuyakummbela ubaba.”
22. Kepha uJesu wathi kuye: “Ngilandele; yeka abafileyo bembele abafileyo babo.”
23. Wayesengena emkhunjini; abafundi bakhe bamlandela.
24. Bheka, kwavuka isiphepho esikhulu elwandle, umkhumbi waze wagujuzelwa ngamaza; kepha yena wayelele.
25. Basondela, bamvusa, bathi: “Nkosi, sisindise, safa.”

31. Amademoni amncenga athi: “Uma usikhipha, sithume ukuba singene emhlambini wezingulube.”
32. Wathi kuwo: “Hambani.” Ayesephuma, angena ezingulubeni; bheka, umhlambi wonke wagulukudela eweni, waphonseka elwandle, wafela emanzini.
33. Kodwa ababezalusa babaleka, baya emzini, babika konke, nalokho okwehlele abakhwelwe ngamademoni.
