Na kwaba utamubuzye kuti, 'Nkaambo nzi nimumwaangununa?' mukatedi, 'Mwami ulamuyanda.'”

42 esithi: Kungathi ngabe wazile lawe, ngitsho ngalolusuku lwakho, izinto zokuthula kwakho; kodwa-ke khathesi zifihlakele emehlweni akho.
kati, “Kansinga wali waziba mubuzuba oobu, ayebo, zintu zikweetela luumuno! Pesi lino zilisisidwe kulinduwe.
43 Ngoba insuku zizakwehlela phezu kwakho, lapho izitha zakho zizakwakhela umthangala zikugombolozele, zikuzingelezele, zikuvimbele inhlangothi zonke,
Nkaambo mazuba ayoosika alinduwe, aawo basinkondonyokwe nibayoyaka kaanda akukuzyunguluka akukusyanikizya kuzwa kumabazu woonse.
44 zikudilizele phansi wena labantwana bakho abaphakathi kwakho, zingatshiyi ilitshe phezu kwelitshe phakathi kwakho; ngoba ungasazanga isikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwakho.
Bayooku wisizya aansi abana bako. Taakwe nobayoosiya niliba bbwe aatala alimwi, nkaambo taakwe nuwakachibona Leza naakalikweezya kukufutula.”
45 Wasengena ethempelini, waqala ukuxotsha abathengisayo kulo, labathengayo,
Jesu wakanjila muchikombelo akutanda boonse nakali kuuzya,
46 esithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami yindlu yomkhuleko; kodwa lina liyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.

47 Njalo wayefundisa ethempelini insuku zonke; kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali lenduna zabantu badinga ukumbulala;
Aboobo Jesu wakalikuyiisya abuzuba muchikombelo. Bapayizi bapati abalembi bamulawu abazululi babanti bakali kuyanda kumujaya,
48 kodwa kabatholanga abangakwenza, ngoba abantu bonke banamathela kuye bemlalela.
