16. Bayizisa ke. Athi kubo, Ngokabani na lo mfanekiso nombhalo?
17. Bathi ke kuye, NgokaKesare. Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Nikelani izinto zikaKesare kuKesare, nezinto zikaThixo kuThixo. Bamangaliswa nguye.
18. Kweza kuye nabaSadusi, bona abo bathi akukho luvuko; babuza kuye besithi,
19. Mfundisi, uMoses wasibhalela, wathi, Ukuba umzalwana kathile uthe wafa, washiya umfazi, akashiya bantwana, makathi umzalwana wakhe amzeke umfazi wakhe, amvelisele imbewu umzalwana wakhe.
20. Ke kaloku bekukho abazalwana abasixhenxe. Wathi owokuqala wazeka umfazi; waza akufa akashiya mbewu.
21. Uthe owesibini wamzeka, wafa, akashiya mbewu. Wenjenjalo nowesithathu.
22. Bamzeka ke bosixhenxe; àbashiya mbewu. Ekugqibeleni kwabo bonke, wafa naye umfazi.
23. Ngoko eluvukweni, uya kuba ngumfazi wawuphi na kubo? kuba babenaye bosixhenxe engumfazi.
24. Waphendula uYesu wathi kubo, Anilahleki na, ngenxa yale ndawo yokuba ningazazi izibhalo kwanamandla kaThixo?
25. Kuba, xa bathe babuya bavuka kwabafileyo, àbazeki, àbendiswa; banjengazo izithunywa ezisemazulwini.
26. Ngokusingisele kwabafileyo ke, ukuba bayavuka, anilesanga na encwadini kaMoses, endaweni ethetha ngetyholo, okokuba uThixo wathetha kuye esithi, Mna ndinguThixo ka-Abraham, uThixo kaIsake, uThixo kaYakobi?
27. AkaThixo wabafileyo, unguThixo wabaphilileyo. Nina ke ngoko niyalahleka kakhulu.
28. Kwafika omnye wakubabhali; wabeva bebuzana; waqonda ukuba ubaphendule kakuhle. Wambuza esithi, Owona mthetho uphambili kuyo yonke nguwuphi na?
29. UYesu wamphendula ke esithi, Owona ungaphambili kuyo yonke imithetho ngulo: Yiva, Sirayeli, iNkosi uThixo wethu yiNkosi inye;
30. uze uyithande ke iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangamandla akho ephela. Nguwo lo ongaphambili umthetho.
