23 Kepha akamphendulanga ngazwi. Base besondela kuye abafundi bakhe, bamncenga, bathi: “Mmukise ngokuba uyakhala emva kwethu.”
24 Kodwa waphendula wathi: “Angithunyelwanga kwabanye, kuphela ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakwa-Israyeli.”
25 Kepha wayeseza, wakhuleka kuye wathi: “Nkosi ngisize.”
26 Waphendula wathi: “Akukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, usiphonse ezinjaneni.”
27 Yena wathi: “Yebo, Nkosi; kepha nezinjana zidla imvuthuluka ewa etafuleni labaninizo.”
28 Khona uJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “O mame, kukhulu ukukholwa kwakho; makube kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho.” Indodakazi yakhe yasinda kusukela kuleso sikhathi.
29 Wasuka lapho uJesu, wafika ngaselwandle lwaseGalile, wenyukela entabeni, wahlala phansi khona.
