22 Emveni kwezi zinto, weza uYesu nabafundi bakhe emhlabeni wakwaYuda; wakha walibala khona apho nabo; wabhaptiza.
23 Waye ke noYohane ebhaptiza e-Enon, kufuphi neSalem, ngokuba amanzi abemaninzi khona apho; babesiza ke babhaptizwe.
24 Kuba ebengekaphoswa entolongweni uYohane.
25 Kwabakho ke imbuzwano kubafundi bakaYohane namaYuda ngokuhlanjululwa.
26 Beza kuYohane, bathi kuye, Rabhi,* lowa wayenawe phesheya kweYordan, umngqinela, yabona, yena uyabhaptiza; beza kuye ke bonke.
27 Waphendula uYohane wathi, Akanakwamkela nto umntu, engayinikwanga ivela emazulwini.
28 Nani ngokwenu niyandingqinela ukuba ndathi, Andinguye uKristu* mna; ndathi, Ndithunyiwe phambi kwakhe.
