24 xeshikweni ke indimbane yabonayo ukuba uYesu akakho apho nabafundi bakhe, besuka bangena nabo emikhombeni, beza eKapernahum, bemfuna uYesu.
25 Bathe bakumfumana phesheya kolwandle, bathi kuye, Rabhi,* ufike nini na apha?
26 Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Anindifuni ngakuba nabona imiqondiso; nindifuna ngokuba nadla kwezaa zonka, nahlutha.
27 Musani ukusebenzela ukudla okutshabalalayo; sebenzelani ukudla okuhlala kuse ebomini obungunaphakade, aya kunipha kona uNyana woMntu; kuba uYise uThixo utywine waqinisela yena lowo.
28 Bathe ngoko kuye, Masenze ntoni na, ukuze sisebenze imisebenzi kaThixo?
29 Waphendula uYesu, wathi kubo, Umsebenzi kaThixo nguwo lo, ukuba nikholwe kuye othunyiweyo nguye.
