18 Ngenxa yoko ke ayefuna ngakumbi amaYuda ukumbulala; ngokuba ubengaphule sabatha yodwa, wayetshilo nokuthi, uThixo ngowakhe uYise, ezenza alingane noThixo.
19 Waphendula ngoko uYesu, wathi kuwo, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, UNyana akanakwenza nto ngokwakhe, engathanga abone uYise eyenza; kuba izinto asukuba ezenza yena, ezo uyazenza uNyana kwangokunjalo;
20 kuba uYise uyamthanda uNyana, ambonise izinto zonke azenzayo yena; uya kumbonisa nemisebenzi emikhulu kunale, ukuze nina nimangaliswe.
21 Kuba, njengoko uYise abavusayo abafileyo, abadlise ubomi, kwangokunjalo noNyana ubadlisa ubomi abo athandayo.
22 Kuba kananjalo uYise akagwebi namnye; uthe umgwebo wonke wawunikela kuNyana;
23 ukuze bonke bambeke uNyana, kwanjengoko bambekayo uYise. Lowo ungambekiyo uNyana, akambeki uYise owamthumayo.
24 Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Lowo ulivayo ilizwi lam, akholwe ngulowo wandithumayo, unobomi obungunaphakade; akezi ekugwetyweni; uphume ekufeni, wangena ebomini.
