16 Kodwa uJesu wababizela kuye, wathi: “Vumelani abantwana beze kimi, ningabenqabeli, ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu ungowabanjalo.
17 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Yilowo nalowo ongamukeli umbuso kaNkulunkulu njengomntwana kasoze angena kuwo.”
18 Umbusi othile wayesembuza ethi: “Mfundisi omuhle, ngiyakwenzani ukuba ngidle ifa lokuphila okuphakade na?”
19 Kepha uJesu wathi kuye: “Ungibizelani ngokuthi ngimuhle na? Kakho omuhle, munye kuphela, uNkulunkulu.
20 Uyayazi imiyalelo ukuthi: ‘Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, yazisa uyihlo nonyoko.’ ”
21 Kepha wathi: “Konke lokho ngikugcinile kwasebusheni bami.”
22 UJesu ekuzwa lokho wathi kuye: “Usasilalelwe into inye: thengisa ngakho konke onakho, wabele abampofu, khona uzakuba negugu ezulwini; uze ungilandele.”
