Umshado eKhana
Emshadweni eKhana iwayini liyaphela, uJesu ngokuthula aphendule izimbiza eziyisithupha zamanzi okugeza zibe yiwayini elingcono kunawo wonke ngalobo busuku. Bese eJerusalema exosha abathengisi ngesiswebhu, ethi ithempeli liyindlu kaBaba wakhe, hhayi indawo yokuhweba.
2 1Ngosuku lwesithathu kwaba khona umshado eKhana laseGalile; unina kaJesu wayelapho. 2UJesu nabafundi bakhe nabo babemenyiwe emshadweni. 3Kwathi lapho sewuphelile iwayini, unina kaJesu wathi kuye: “Abasenalo iwayini.”
4“Mfazi, ungifakelani kulokhu?” waphendula uJesu. “Isikhathi sami asikafiki.”
5Unina wathi ezincekwini: “Yenzani noma yini anitshela yona.”
6Kwakumi khona izimbiza zamanzi zamatshe eziyisithupha, ezazisetshenziselwa ukuhlanzeka kwamaJuda, nganye ithatha amagaloni angamashumi amabili kuya kwangamashumi amathathu. a a v6 Imbiza ngayinye yayithatha cishe amagaloni angama-20 kuya kwangama-30 (amalitha angama-75 kuya kwangama-115) — lezi kwakuyizitsha ezinkulu.
7UJesu wathi kubo: “Gcwalisani izimbiza ngamanzi,” bazigcwalisa zaze zaphuphuma. 8Wathi kubo: “Khani manje, niwayise enduneni yedili.” Benza njalo.
9Induna yedili yanambitha amanzi ase enguwayini, ingazi ukuthi avelaphi—kodwa izinceku ezaziwakhile zazazi. Ngakho yabiza umkhwenyana ngasese, 10yathi: “Wonke umuntu ukhipha iwayini elimnandi kuqala, bese kuthi lapho izivakashi sezidakiwe akhiphe elingelihle kangako. Kodwa wena uligcinile iwayini elimnandi kwaze kwaba manje.” 11UJesu wenza lesi sibonakaliso sokuqala eKhana laseGalile. Wabonakalisa inkazimulo yakhe, abafundi bakhe bakholwa kuye.
12Emva kwalokho wehlela eKapharinawume nonina, nabafowabo, nabafundi bakhe, bahlala khona izinsuku ezimbalwa.
13Kwathi lapho sekusondele iPhasika lamaJuda, uJesu wenyukela eJerusalema.
Ukuhlanza amagceke ethempeli
14Emagcekeni ethempeli wafica abathengisi bezinkomo, nezimvu, namajuba, nabanye behlezi ematafuleni beshintsha imali. 15Wenza isiswebhu ngezintambo, wabaxosha bonke emagcekeni ethempeli, izimvu nezinkomo ngokufanayo, wachitha izinhlamvu zemali zabashintshi bemali, wagumbuqela amatafula abo.
16Wathi kubathengisi bamajuba: “Susani lezi lapha! Ningayenzi indlu kaBaba indawo yokuthengisela.”
17Abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi kulotshiwe: “Ukushisekela indlu yakho kuyakungidla.”
18Ngakho amaJuda abuza: “Yisiphi isibonakaliso ozasikhombisa sona sokuthi wenza lezi zinto?”
19UJesu wawaphendula: “Dilizani leli thempeli, ngezinsuku ezintathu ngizakulivusa.”
20Aphendula: “Leli thempeli lakhiwa iminyaka engamashumi amane nesithupha, uzakulivusa ngezinsuku ezintathu na?” 21Kodwa ithempeli ayekhuluma ngalo lalingumzimba wakhe. 22Emva kokuba esevukile kwabafileyo, abafundi bakhe bakhumbula ukuthi wayekushilo lokhu, bakholwa umBhalo nezwi uJesu ayelikhulumile.
23Kwathi eseJerusalema ngesikhathi sePhasika, abaningi babona izibonakaliso ayezenza, bakholwa egameni lakhe.
24Kodwa uJesu akazinikelanga kubo, ngokuba wayebazi bonke abantu. 25Wayengadingi ukuba kube khona ofakaza ngomuntu—ngokuba wayazi okwakuphakathi komuntu ngamunye.
