32 Wawaphendula uYesu wathi, Mininzi imisebenzi emihle endanibonisayo, ivela kuBawo; nindixuluba ngenxa yawuphi na umsebenzi kuyo?
33 Amphendula amaYuda esithi, Asikuxulubeli msebenzi mhle, sikuxuluba ngokuba unyelisa; nangokuba wena usithi, ùngumntu nje, usuke uzenze uThixo.
34 Uwaphendule uYesu wathi, Akubhaliwe na emthethweni wenu, kwathiwa, Mna ndithe ningoothixo?
35 Ukuba úthe bona bangoothixo, eleza kubo ilizwi likaThixo (sibe isibhalo singenakwaphulwa),
36 nitsho na nina ngaye lowo uYise wamngcwalisayo, wamthuma ehlabathini, ukuthi, Ùyanyelisa; ngokuba ndithe, NdinguNyana kaThixo?
37 Ukuba andiyenzi imisebenzi kaBawo, musani ukukholwa ndim.
