9 Bathi ukuzwa lokho, belahlwa yizinhliziyo zabo baphuma ngabanye, beqalela kwabadala kwaze kwaba ngabokugcina, uJesu wasala yedwa; nowesifazane wayemi khona.
10 UJesu wayeselulama; engaboni muntu ngaphandle kowesifazane wathi kuye: “Sifazane, baphi labo bamangaleli bakho na? Akakho okulahlayo na?”
11 Wayesethi: “Akakho, Nkosi.”Wathi-ke uJesu kuye: “Nami angikulahli; hamba, ungabe usona.”
12 Ngakho uJesu waphinda wakhuluma kubo, wathi: “Mina ngingukukhanya kwezwe; ongilandelayo kasoze ahamba ebumnyameni, kodwa woba nokukhanya kokuphila.”
13 Khona bathi kuye abaFarisi: “Uyazifakazela wena; ubufakazi bakho ubuqinisile.”
14 UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Noma ngizifakazela mina, ubufakazi bami buqinisile, ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi ngavelaphi nokuthi ngiyaphi; kepha nina anazi ukuthi ngivelaphi nokuthi ngiyaphi.
15 Nina nahlulela ngokwenyama, kepha mina angahluleli muntu.
