40 “Uphuphuthekisile amehlo abo,wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo,funa babone ngamehlo,baqonde ngenhliziyo,baphenduke, ngibaphulukise.”
41 U-Isaya wakusho lokho, ngokuba ebona inkazimulo yakhe, ekhuluma ngaye.
42 Nokho abaningi nasezikhulwini bakholwa nguye, kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi abakuvumanga, funa bakhishwe esinagogeni;*
43 ngokuba babethanda udumo lwabantu kunodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
44 Khona uJesu wamemeza wathi: “Okholwa yimi kakholwa yimi kepha ngongithumileyo.
45 Obona mina ubona ongithumileyo.
46 Ngize ezweni ngingukukhanya ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yimi angahlali ebumnyameni.
