29 Kepha uJesu wathi kubo: “Ngizakunibuza izwi libe linye, nize ningiphendule; yikhona ngizakunitshela ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini.
30 Ukubhapathiza kukaJohane kwavela ezulwini noma kubantu na? Ngiphenduleni.”
31 Bakhulumisana bodwa, bathi: “Uma sithi: ‘Ezulwini,’ uzakuthi: ‘Pho, anikholwanga nguye ngani na?’
32 Kepha uma sithi: ‘Kubantu,’ ” besaba isixuku, ngokuba bonke bathi uJohane ungumprofethi impela.
33 Base bemphendula uJesu, bathi: “Asazi.”Wayesethi uJesu kubo: “Nami anginitsheli ukuthi ngenza lokhu ngagunya lini.”
