6 Kuthe uJesu eseBethaniya endlini kaSimoni owayenochoko,
7 kwafika kuye owesifazane ephethe umfuma we-alabaste* wamafutha anenani elikhulu, wawathela ekhanda lakhe ehlezi ekudleni.
8 Kepha abafundi bakhe bebona lokho bathukuthela, bathi: “Kwenzelwani lokho kuchitha na?
9 Ngokuba lokho nga kuthengisiwe ngokukhulu, kwaphiwa abampofu.”
10 Kepha uJesu ekwazi lokho wathi kubo: “Nimhluphelani owesifazane na? Ngokuba usebenzile umsebenzi omuhle kimi;
11 ngokuba abampofu ninabo njalo, kepha mina aninami njalo.
12 Ngokuba lapho ethela lawo mafutha emzimbeni wami, ukwenzele ukungilungisela ukumbelwa.
