1 Kwathi esehlile entabeni, amlandela amaxuku amakhulu;
Wakati aburuka mugomo, zvaunga zvikuru zvakamutevera.
2 njalo khangela, olobulephero weza wamkhonza wathi: Nkosi, aluba uthanda ungangihlambulula.
Zvino tarira, kwakauya ane maperembudzi, akamunamata achiti: Ishe, kana muchida, munogona kundinatsa.
3 UJesu waseselula isandla, wamthinta, wathi: Ngiyathanda, hlambuluka. Njalo ubulephero bakhe bahle bahlanjululwa.
Jesu akatandavadza ruoko, akamubata, achiti: Ndinoda, natswa. Pakarepo maperembudzi ake akanatswa.
4 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Khangela ungatsheli muntu; kodwa hamba, uziveze kumpristi, unikele umnikelo uMozisi awulayayo, kube yibufakazi kubo.
Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Ona kuti usaudza munhu, asi enda unozviratidza kumupristi, ubaire chipo Mozisi chaakaraira, chive uchapupu kwavari.
5 Kwathi uJesu esengenile eKapenawume, kweza kuye induna yekhulu imncenga,
Zvino Jesu wakati apinda muKapenaume, kwakauya kwaari mukuru wezana, achimukumbirisa,
6 yasisithi: Nkosi, inceku yami ilele endlini yome umhlubulo, isebuhlungwini obukhulu.
achiti: Ishe, muranda wangu arere kumba wakafa mitezo, anotambudzika kwazvo.
7 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Mina ngizakuza ngiyisilise.
Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Ini ndichauya ndimuporese.
8 Induna yekhulu yasiphendula yathi: Nkosi, kangifanele ukuthi ungene ngaphansi kophahla lwami; kodwa kuphela khuluma ilizwi, njalo inceku yami izasiliswa.
Mukuru wezana akapindura akati: Ishe, handina kufanira kuti mupinde pasi pedenga rangu remba; asi taurai shoko chete, zvino muranda wangu achaporeswa.
9 Ngoba lami ngingumuntu ongaphansi kwamandla, ngilamabutho ngaphansi kwami; njalo ngithi kuleli: Hamba, beselihamba; lakwelinye: Woza, beselisiza; lencekwini yami: Yenza lokhu, njalo ikwenze.
Nokuti neniwo ndiri munhu ari pasi pesimba, ndine mauto pasi pangu; zvino ndinoti kune uyu: Enda; anoenda; nekune umwe: Uya; anouya; nekumuranda wangu: Ita ichi; anoita.
10 Kwathi uJesu esezwile wamangala, wathi kwabalandelayo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angitholanga ukholo olungaka ngitsho lakoIsrayeli.
Jesu wakati achizvinzwa akashamisika, akati kune vaimutevera: Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Handina kuwana rutendo rukuru rwakadai kunyange pakati paIsraeri.
11 Njalo ngithi kini: Abanengi bazakuza bevela empumalanga lentshonalanga, bahlale loAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe, embusweni wamazulu;
Zvino ndinoti kwamuri: Vazhinji vachauya vachibva kumabvazuva nemavirira, vachagara pakudya naAbhurahama, naIsaka, naJakobho, muushe hwekumatenga;
12 kodwa abantwana bombuso bazaphoselwa emnyameni ongaphandle; lapha kuzakuba khona ukukhala lokugedla amazinyo.
asi vana veushe vachakandirwa kunze kurima rekunze kwekupedzisira; ikoko kuchava nekuchema nekugeda-geda kwemeno.
13 UJesu wasesithi enduneni yekhulu: Hamba, futhi kakube kuwe njengoba ukholiwe. Inceku yakhe yasisiliswa ngalelohola.
Zvino Jesu akati kumukuru wezana: Enda, zviitirwe kwauri sezvawakatenda. Muranda wake akapora nenguva iyoyo.
14 Kwathi uJesu engene endlini kaPetro, wabona uninazala elele njalo ebulawa luqhuqho.
Jesu wakati apinda mumba maPetro, akaona mai vemukadzi wake vakaradzikwa vane fivhiri.
15 Wasebamba isandla sakhe, njalo uqhuqho lwamyekela; wasesukuma, wabancedisa.
Akabata ruoko rwavo, fivhiri ikabva kwavari; vakasimuka vakavashandira.
16 Kwathi sekuhlwile baletha kuye abanengi ababengenwe ngamadimoni; wasekhupha omoya ngelizwi, wasilisa bonke abagulayo;
Zvino ava madekwani vakauisa kwaari vazhinji vaiva vakagarwa nemadhimoni; akabudisa mweya neshoko, akaporesa vese vairwara;
17 ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa nguIsaya umprofethi ukuthi: Yena wathatha ubuthakathaka bethu, wazithwala izifo zethu.
kuti zvizadziswe zvakataurwa naIsaya muporofita achiti: Iye wakatora utera hwedu, akatakura matenda edu.
18 Kwathi uJesu ebona amaxuku amakhulu emhanqile, walaya ukuthi bachaphele ngaphetsheya.
Jesu wakati achiona zvaunga zvikuru zvakamukomba, akaraira kuti vabve vaende mhiri.
19 Kwasekusondela umbhali othile wathi kuye: Mfundisi, ngizakulandela loba kungaphi lapho oya khona.
Umwe munyori ndokuswedera akati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, ndichakuteverai kwese kwamunoenda.
20 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Amakhanka alemilindi, lenyoni zezulu izidleke; kodwa iNdodana yomuntu kayila lapho engaqamelisa ikhanda khona.
Zvino Jesu akati kwaari: Makava ane mwena, neshiri dzedenga matendere; asi Mwanakomana wemunhu haana paangatsamhidza musoro.
21 Omunye wabafundi bakhe wasesithi kuye: Nkosi, ngivumela ukuthi ngiqale ngiyengcwaba ubaba.
Umwe wevadzidzi vake akati kwaari: Ishe, ndiregei nditange ndaenda ndinoviga baba vangu.
22 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Ngilandela, uyekele abafileyo bangcwabe ababo abafileyo.
Asi Jesu wakati kwaari: Nditevere, urege vakafa vavige vakafa vavo.
23 Kwathi esengenile emkhunjini, abafundi bakhe bamlandela.
Zvino wakati apinda muchikepe, vadzidzi vake vakamutevera.
24 Njalo khangela, kwavuka isiphepho esikhulu olwandle, okungangokuthi umkhumbi wagutshuzelwa ngamagagasi; kodwa yena wayelele.
Zvino tarira, dutu guru remhepo rakamuka mugungwa, zvekuti igwa rakange rofukidzwa nemafungu; asi iye wakange arere.
25 Basebesondela abafundi bakhe bamvusa, besithi: Nkosi, sisindise, siyabhubha!
Zvino vadzidzi vake vakaswedera vakamumutsa vachiti: Ishe, tiponesei, toparara!
26 Wasesithi kubo: Lesabelani, lina abokholo oluncinyane? Wasesukuma wakhuza imimoya lolwandle; kwasekusiba khona ukuthula okukhulu.
Zvino akati kwavari: Munotyirei, imwi verutendo rudiki? Ndokusimuka, akatsiura mitutu negungwa; kudzikama kukuru kukavapo.
27 Kodwa abantu bamangala, besithi: Ngonjani lo, ukuthi lemimoya lolwandle kumlalele?
Asi vanhu vakashamisika vachiti: Uyu munhu rudzii kuti kunyange mitutu negungwa zvinomuteerera?
28 Kwathi esefikile ngaphetsheya elizweni lamaGergesi, bamhlangabeza ababili ababengenwe ngamadimoni bephuma emangcwabeni, belolaka kakhulu, okungangokuthi kwakungekho odlula ngaleyondlela;
Wakati asvika kune rimwe divi kunyika yeVaGerigesi, vakamuchingamidza vaviri vaiva vakagarwa nemadhimoni, vachibuda kumarinda, vane hasha kwazvo-kwazvo, zvekuti kwakange kusina munhu waigona kupfuura nenzira iyo.
29 njalo khangela, bamemeza besithi: Silani lawe, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu? Uze lapha yini ukusihlupha kungakafiki isikhathi?
Zvino tarira, vakadanidzira vachiti: Tinei nemwi, Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari? Mauya pano kuzotirwadzisa nguva isati yasvika here?
30 Kwakukhona khatshana labo umhlambi wengulube ezinengi usidla.
Zvino kure navo kwakange kune boka renguruve zhinji richifura.
31 Amadimoni asemncenga, esithi: Uba usikhupha, sivumela ukuthi sihambe singene emhlanjini wengulube.

32 Wasesithi kuwo: Hambani. Esephumile angena emhlanjini wengulube; futhi khangela, umhlambi wonke wengulube waphaphatheka eliweni usiya olwandle, zafela emanzini.
Zvino akati kwaari: Endai. Zvino akati abuda, akapinda muboka renguruve; zvino tarira, boka rese renguruve rakapitirikira kumateru kugungwa, dzikafira mumvura.
33 Abazelusayo basebebaleka, basebesiya emzini babika konke, lezindaba zababengenwe ngamadimoni.
Zvino vaidzifudza vakatiza, vakaenda kuguta, vakapira zvese uye zvevakange vane madhimoni.
34 Njalo khangela, umuzi wonke waphuma ukumhlangabeza uJesu; bathi bembona, bancenga ukuthi asuke emikhawulweni yakibo.
Zvino tarira, guta rese rakabuda kunochingamidza Jesu; zvino vakati vamuona, vakagombetedza kuti abve pamiganhu yavo.
