25 Usuke wema kwangoko phambi kwabo, wayithabatha loo nto abelele kuyo, wemka waya endlwini yakhe, ezukisa uThixo.
26 Besuka bathi nqa bonke, bamzukisa uThixo, bazala kukoyika, besithi, Sibone izanga namhlanje.
27 Ke kaloku, emveni kwezi zinto waphuma, wabona umbuthi werhafu, ogama linguLevi, ehleli endaweni yerhafu, wathi kuye, Ndilandele.
28 Washiya konke, wesuka wamlandela.
29 Waza uLevi wamenzela isidlo esikhulu endlwini yakhe. Kwaye kukho iqela elikhulu lababuthi berhafu nelabanye, ababehleli ngasesithebeni nabo.
30 Baye ababhali babo nabaFarisi bebakrokrela abafundi bakhe, besithi, Kungani na ukuba nidle nisele nababuthi berhafu naboni?
31 Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Akufuneki gqirha kwabaphilileyo, lifuneka kwabafayo.
