29 Waphendula uJesu, wathi kubo: “Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu yilowo ukuba nikholwe nguye amthumileyo.”
30 Ngakho bathi kuye: “Pho, wenza sibonakaliso sini ukuba sibone, sikholwe nguwe, na? Usebenzani na?
31 Okhokho bethu badla imana* ehlane njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: ‘Wabapha isinkwa esivela ezulwini ukuba badle.’ ”
32 UJesu wayesethi kubo: “Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kwakungesiye uMose owanipha isinkwa esivela ezulwini, kodwa uBaba unipha isinkwa soqobo esivela ezulwini.
33 Ngokuba isinkwa sikaNkulunkulu singuye owehla ezulwini, olipha izwe ukuphila.”
