40 Kuko ke oku ukuthanda kowandithumayo, ukuthi babe nobomi obungunaphakade bonke abambonayo uNyana, bakholwe kuye; ndandiya kubavusa mna ngomhla wokugqibela.
41 Ayemkrokrela ngoko amaYuda, ngokuba wathi, Ndim isonka, esi sehlayo emazulwini.
42 Ayesithi ke, Lo asinguye na kanene uYesu, unyana kaYosefu, esimaziyo thina uyise nonina? Angáthini na ke ngoko yena ukuthi, Ndihle emazulwini?
43 Waphendula ngoko uYesu wathi kubo, Musani ukukrokra ngaphakathi kwenu.
44 Akukho namnye unako ukuza kum, engathanga uBawo owandithumayo amtsale; ndaye mna ndiya kumvusa ngomhla wokugqibela.
45 Kubhaliwe ebaprofetini kwathiwa, Baye bonke beya kuba ngabafundiswa bakaThixo; bonke ngoko abathe beva kuBawo, bafunda kuye, bayeza kum.
46 Kungekuba kukho bani umbonileyo uBawo, ingenguye ovela kuThixo; nguye yedwa ombonileyo uBawo.
