17 Bathi ke kuye, NgokaKesare. Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Bamangaliswa nguye.
18 Kweza kuye nabaSadusi, bona abo bathi akukho luvuko; babuza kuye besithi,
19 Mfundisi, uMoses wasibhalela, wathi, Ukuba umzalwana kathile uthe wafa, washiya umfazi, akashiya bantwana, makathi umzalwana wakhe amzeke umfazi wakhe, amvelisele imbewu umzalwana wakhe.
20 Ke kaloku bekukho abazalwana abasixhenxe. Wathi owokuqala wazeka umfazi; waza akufa akashiya mbewu.
21 Uthe owesibini wamzeka, wafa, akashiya mbewu. Wenjenjalo nowesithathu.
22 Bamzeka ke bosixhenxe; àbashiya mbewu. Ekugqibeleni kwabo bonke, wafa naye umfazi.
23 Ngoko eluvukweni, uya kuba ngumfazi wawuphi na kubo? kuba babenaye bosixhenxe engumfazi.
