28 Kuba ndithi kuni, Akukho namnye, kwabazelweyo ngabafazi, umprofeti omkhulu kunoYohane umbhaptizi; kanti ke nomncinanana kwabanye ebukumkanini bukaThixo, mkhulu kunaye.
29 Bathi bonke abantu, bakuva, nababuthi berhafu, bagwebela uThixo, bebhaptiziwe ngobhaptizo lukaYohane.
30 Ke bona abaFarisi nabaqondisi-mthetho bazitshitshisela icebo likaThixo, kuba bengabhaptizwanga nguye.
31 Ithe ke iNkosi, Ndiya kubafanisa nantoni na ke ngoko abantu besi sizukulwana?
32 Bafana nantoni na? Bafana nabantwana abahleli endaweni yembutho, bekhwazana besithi, Sanigwalela, naza nina anaduda; sanihlabela isililo, naza nina analila.
33 Kuba uzile uYohane umbhaptizi engadli sonka, engaseli wayini; nithi ke, Únedemon.
34 Uzile uNyana woMntu esidla, esela; nithi, Khanibone umntu olidla-kudla, olisela-wayini, umhlobo wababuthi berhafu nowaboni!
