UMarko 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Wabuya waphinda uYesu wangena endlwini yesikhungu, kwaye kwakukho khona umntu onesandla esomileyo. ²Bamgqala ngeliso elibukhali ukuba woyiphilisa na le ndoda ngeSabatha, ukuze bammangalele uYesu.

³Wathi uYesu kuloo mntu unesandla esomileyo: “Phakama uze ngaphambili.” ⁴Waza wababuza: “Kuvumelekile na ukwenza okulungileyo ngeSabatha, nokwenza okubi, ukusindisa ubomi, nokubulala?” Kodwa bona bathi tu. ⁵Wabasingasinga ngomsindo, ebuhlungu ngenxa yobulukhuni bentliziyo yabo, waza wathi kuloo ndoda: “Yolula isandla sakho.” Wasolula ke, saza isandla sakhe sabuyiselwa.

⁶Baphuma ke abaFarisi, baza kwaoko baqala ukucebisana namaHerode ukuba bangathini na ukumtshabalalisa.

Izihlwele Zisukela UmPhilisi

⁷Waziqhiwula uYesu nabafundi bakhe baya elwandle; isihlwele esikhulu esivela kwelaseGalili salandela, nabelakwaYuda, ⁸nabaseYerusalem, nabaseIdume, nabangaphesheya kweYordan, nabommandla waseTire naseTsidon—bakuva konke abekwenza, isihlwele esikhulu seza kuye. ⁹Wathi kubafundi bakhe mabamgcinele umkhombe omncinane ulungile, ngenxa yesihlwele, ukuze bangamxinizeleli. ¹⁰Kuba wayephilise babaninzi, kangangokuba bonke ababenezifo babexinelana ukuze bamchukumise. ¹¹Kwakusithi, oomoya abangcolileyo bakumbona, bawe phambi kwakhe, bedanduluka besithi: “Wena unguNyana kaThixo!” ¹²Kodwa wabayala kalukhuni ukuba bangamtyhili.

Abalishumi Elinababini Bayamiswa

¹³Wenyuka intaba uYesu, wababiza abo wayebafuna; baza beza kuye. ¹⁴Wamisa abalishumi elinababini, ababizwa ngokuba ngabapostile, ukuze babe naye, abathume baye kushumayela, ¹⁵nokuze babe negunya lokukhupha iidemon. ¹⁶Ngabo aba abalishumi elinababini awabamisayo: uSimon, awamnika igama lokuba nguPetros; ¹⁷uYakobi kaZebhedi, noYohane umnakwabo, awabathiya igama lokuba ngooBhowanergesi, oko kukuthi, oonyana beNdudumo; ¹⁸uAndreya, noFilipu, noBhartolomeyu, noMateyu, noTomas, noYakobi ka-Alifeyu, noTadeyu, noSimon umZeloti, ¹⁹noYuda Sikariyoti, lowo wamngcatshayo.

Ubukumkani Obungenakuwa

²⁰Waya ekhaya; saphinda sabuthelana isihlwele, kangangokuba yena nabafundi bakhe bangabi nako nokudla. ²¹Bathi ke abakowabo bakukuva oko, baphuma ukuba bamthintele, kuba besithi: “Uyageza.” ²²Ababhali ababehle bevela eYerusalem bathi: “UnoBhelezebhule,” nokuba, “Ukhupha iidemon ngomphathi weedemon.”

²³Waza uYesu wababizela kuye, wathetha kubo ngemizekeliso: “Angathini na uSathana ukukhupha uSathana? ²⁴Ukuba ubukumkani buthe bazahlulahlula bodwa, obo bukumkani abunakuma. ²⁵Nokuba indlu ithe yazahlulahlula yodwa, loo ndlu ayiyi kuba nako ukuma. ²⁶Nokuba uSathana uthe wazichasa yena, wazahlulahlula, akanako ukuma; ufikelwe sisiphelo sakhe. ²⁷Akukho bani unako ukungena endlwini yendoda enamandla, athabathe iimpahla zayo, engaqalanga ayibophe loo ndoda inamandla—wandule ke ukuyiphanga loo ndlu.

²⁸Inene ndithi kuni, zonke izono neentlaselo zokunyelisa uThixo ziya kuxolelwa oonyana babantu, nokuba bathe ntoni na, ²⁹kodwa lowo unyelisa uMoya oyiNgcwele akasoze axolelwe, koko unetyala lesono esingunaphakade,”

³⁰kuba babesithi: “Unomoya ongcolileyo.”

Intsapho kaBawo wethu

³¹Bafika unina nabanakwabo, baza, bemi ngaphandle, bathumela kuye, bembiza. ³²Isihlwele sasihleli simngqongile, saza sathi kuye: “Khawubone, unyoko nabanakwenu bangaphandle, bayakufuna.”

³³Wabaphendula: “Ngoobani na uma nabantakwethu?” ³⁴Wabasingasinga abo babehleli bemngqongile, wathi: “Naba uma nabantakwethu! ³⁵Lowo wenza ukuthanda kukaBawo wethu, ngumnakwethu, nodade wethu, noma.”
