1 Kwathi ngesabatha ethile, wacanda emasimini; baye abafundi bakhe besikha izikhwebu, bazidla, bezihlikihla ngezandla.
2 Bathe ke abathile babaFarisi kubo, Yini na ukuba nenze oko kungavumelekileyo ngesabatha?
3 Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Anikhanga nikulese na oko wakwenzayo uDavide, mhlenikweni walambayo, yena nabo babenaye?
4 Okokuba wangena endlwini kaThixo, wazithabatha izonka ezibekwe phambi koThixo, wazidla, wanika nabo babenaye, ezo ke kungavumelekileyo ukuba zidliwe bantu, ingengabo ababingeleli bodwa?
5 Wayesithi kubo, uNyana woMntu lo uyiNkosi yayo nesabatha.
6 Kwathi ke kaloku, nangenye isabatha wangena endlwini yesikhungu, wafundisa. Kwaye kukho apho umntu owome isandla sokunene.
7 Baye ke bemlalele ababhali nabaFarisi, ukuba wophilisa na ngesabatha; ukuze bafumane indawo yokummangalela.
