24 UJesu wathi kubo: “Angithi nidukile ngenxa yokuba ningayazi imibhalo namandla kaNkulunkulu na?
25 Ngokuba mhla bevuka kwabafileyo abaganwa, abendiswa, kodwa banjengezingelosi ezulwini.
26 Kepha maqondana nabafileyo ukuthi bayavuswa anifundanga yini encwadini kaMose ngesihlahla ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kuye, wathi: ‘NginguNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, noNkulunkulu ka-Isaka, noNkulunkulu kaJakobe,’ na?
27 Akasiye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo kodwa owabaphilayo. Nidukile kakhulu.”
28 Kwase kusondela omunye wababhali owayebezwile bebuzana, eqonda ukuthi wayebaphendule kahle, wambuza wathi: “Ngumuphi umyalo wokuqala kuyo yonke na?”
29 UJesu waphendula wathi: “Owokuqala ngowokuthi: ‘Yizwa, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi, yinye.
30 Woyithanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangayo yonke ingqondo yakho, nangawo onke amandla akho.’
