6 Wayesitsho kuba ebengayazi into anokuyithetha, kuba babesoyika kakhulu.
7 Ke kwabakho ilifu elibagubungelayo, kwavakala nelizwi livela efini apho, lisithi: “Lo nguNyana wam endimthandayo; yivani yena.”
8 Bakusinga-singa ke, ababa sabona mntu wumbi ngaphandle koYesu.
9 Xa babesihla entabeni, uYesu wabayala ukuba bangazixeleli bani ezo zinto bazibonileyo, ade yena *uNyana woLuntu avuke kwabafileyo.
10 Babambelela kule ntetho, bebuzana bodwa ukuba ngaba ukuvuka kubo abafileyo kukuthini na.
11 Bambuza uYesu besithi: “Kungani na ukuba abachazi-mthetho bathi uEliya umelwe kukufika kuqala?”
