11 Izixuku zathi: “Lo ungumprofethi, uJesu waseNazaretha laseGalile.”
12 UJesu wayesengena ethempelini, waxosha bonke abathengisayo nabathengayo ethempelini, wagumbuqela amatafula abashintshelana imali nezihlalo zabathengisa ngamajuba.
13 Wathi kubo: “Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Indlu yami iyakubizwa ngokuthi indlu yokukhuleka,’ kepha nina niyenza ‘umhume wabaphangi.’ ”
14 Kwase kufika kuye izimpumputhe nezinyonga ethempelini, waziphulukisa.
15 Kepha abapristi abakhulu nababhali, bebona izimangaliso azenzayo nabantwana bememeza ethempelini, bethi: “Hosiyana kuyo iNdodana kaDavide,” bacasuka,
16 bathi kuye: “Uyakuzwa lokhu abakushoyo laba na?”UJesu wathi kubo: “Yebo, anizange nifunde yini ukuthi: ‘Emlonyeni wezingane nowabancelayo uzilungisele indumiso,’ na?”
17 Wayesebashiya, waphuma emzini, waya eBethaniya, walala khona.
