11 “ngithi kuwe: Vuka, uthathe uhlaka lwakho, uye endlini yakho.”
12 Wayesevuka, wathatha masinyane uhlaka lwakhe, waphuma phambi kwabo bonke, baze bamangala bonke, bamdumisa uNkulunkulu, bathi: “Asizange sikubone okunje.”
13 Waphuma futhi, waya ngaselwandle; isixuku sonke sabantu seza kuye, wabafundisa.
14 Wathi edlula, wambona uLevi ka-Alfewu ehlezi endaweni yokuthela, wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.” Wasuka-ke, wamlandela.
15 Kwathi ehlezi ekudleni endlini yakhe, abathelisi abaningi nezoni bahlala noJesu nabafundi bakhe; ngokuba babe baningi, bamlandela.
16 Khona ababhali babaFarisi bembona edla nezoni nabathelisi bathi kubafundi bakhe: “Yini ukuba adle nabathelisi nezoni na?”
17 UJesu ekuzwa lokho wathi kubo: “Abaphilileyo abadingi inyanga, ngabagulayo bodwa; kangizelanga ukubiza abalungileyo kodwa izoni.”
