2 Bakhuluma, bathi kuye: “Sitshele ukuthi lokhu ukwenza ngagunya lini, nokuba ngubani okunike leli gunya na?”
3 Waphendula, wathi kubo: “Nami ngizakunibuza izwi, nize ningitshele.
4 Ukubhapathiza kukaJohane kwavela ezulwini noma kubantu na?”
5 Bazindlisana bodwa, bathi: “Uma sithi: ‘Ezulwini,’ uzakuthi: ‘Anikholwanga nguye ngani na?’
6 Kepha uma sithi: ‘Kubantu,’ abantu bonke bazakusikhanda ngamatshe, ngokuba bakholiwe ukuthi uJohane ungumprofethi.”
7 Base bephendula ukuthi abazi lapho evela khona.
8 UJesu wayesethi kubo: “Nami-ke anginitsheli ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini.”
