23. Nangaloo mini aniyi kundibuza nto. Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Zonke izinto enithe nazicela kuBawo egameni lam, woninika.
24. Kude kwaba ngokunje, anikaceli nto egameni lam; celani, niya kwamkela, ukuze uvuyo lwenu luzaliseke.
25. Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni ngokuntsonkotha; kuza ilixa endingasayi kuba sathetha kuni ngokuntsonkotha; ndiya kunibikela ngokusekuhleni ngaye uBawo.
26. Ngaloo mini niya kucela egameni lam; anditsho kuni ukuthi, ndiya kunicelela kuBawo;
27. kuba uBawo ngokwakhe uyanithanda; ngokuba nina nindithandile, nakholwa ukuba mna ndaphuma kuThixo.
28. Ndaphuma kuBawo, ndeza ehlabathini; ndibuya ndilishiye ihlabathi, ndiye kuBawo.
29. Bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Uyabona, ngoku uthetha ngokusekuhleni, akuthethi nto ngakuntsonkotha.
30. Ngoku siyazi, ukuba uyazazi zonke izinto, akusafuneki kuwe ukuba ubani akubuze nto; ngaloo nto siyakholwa ukuba waphuma kuThixo.
31. Wabaphendula uYesu wathi, Niyakholwa na ngoku?
32. Yabonani, kuza ilixa, nakaloku lifikile, lokuba nichithwe, elowo aye kowabo, nindishiye ndedwa; ukanti andindedwa, ngokuba uBawo unam.
33. Ezi zinto ndizithethile kuni, ukuze nibe noxolo kum. Ehlabathini niya kuba nembandezelo; yomelelani, mna ndiloyisile ihlabathi.
