14. Khona kwase kufika kuye abafundi bakaJohane, bathi: “Yini ukuba thina nabaFarisi sizila ukudla; kepha abafundi bakho abazili ngani na?”
15. UJesu wathi kubo: “Abayeni bangalila yini, umyeni enabo na? Kodwa kuzakufika izinsuku, lapho umyeni ezakususwa kubo; yikhona-ke bezakuzila.
16. Akakho obekela isiziba sendwangu engakashukeki engutsheni endala, ngokuba lokhu okubekelwa kuyo kuyaklebhula engutsheni, kwande ukuklebhuka.
17. Akuthelwa futhi iwayini elisha ezimvabeni ezindala, funa izimvaba ziqhume, newayini lichitheke, nezimvaba zonakale. Kodwa iwayini elisha balithela ezimvabeni ezintsha, kulondeke kokubili.”
18. Esakhuluma lokhu kubo, bheka, kwafika umphathi othile, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “Indodakazi yami ifa khona manje; kepha woza, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, izakuphila.”
19. Wasuka-ke uJesu, wamlandela kanye nabafundi bakhe.
20. Bheka, owesifazane owayenomopho iminyaka eyishumi nambili weza emva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe.
21. Ngokuba wayethi phakathi kwakhe: “Uma ngingathinta nje ingubo yakhe, ngizakusindiswa.”
22. UJesu ephenduka wambona, wathi: “Yima isibindi, ndodakazi; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.” Wasinda owesifazane, kusukela kuleso sikhathi.
23. UJesu esefikile endlini yomphathi, ebona khona ababethi bemitshingo nesixuku esixokozelayo,
24. wathi kubo: “Dedani, ngokuba intombazana ayifile, kodwa ilele.” Bamhleka usulu.
25. Isixuku sesikhishiwe, wangena, wayibamba ngesandla; yavuka intombazana.
26. Udumo lwalokho lwezwakala ezweni lonke langakhona.
27. Esadlula lapho uJesu, izimpumputhe ezimbili zamlandela, zamemeza zathi: “Sihawukele, ndodana kaDavide!”
28. Esengenile endlini, izimpumputhe zeza kuye. UJesu wathi kuzo: “Niyakholwa yini ukuthi ngingakwenza lokhu na?” Zathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi.”
29. Khona wathinta amehlo azo, wathi: “Makwenzeke kini njengokukholwa kwenu.”
