Ukuthula ngikushiya kini, ukuthula kwami ngininika khona; angininiki njengokupha kwezwe. Inhliziyo yenu mayingakhathazeki, ingesabi

UJesu wathi kuye: “Mina ngiyindlela, neqiniso, nokuphila; akakho oza kuBaba ngaphandle kwami.

Izinhliziyo zenu mazingakhathazeki; kholwani nguNkulunkulu, nikholwe nayimi.

Kepha uMduduzi, uMoya oNgcwele, uBaba ayakumthumela egameni lami uyakunifundisa zonke izinto, anikhumbuze konke enginitshele khona.

Onemiyalo yami, ayigcine, nguyena ongithandayo; ongithandayo uyakuthandwa nguBaba, nami ngiyakumthanda, ngizibonakalise kuye.

Ngiyakucela kuBaba, aninike omunye uMduduzi, ukuze ahlale kini phakade; UMoya weqiniso; izwe elingemamukele, ngokuba lingamboni, lingamazi, kepha nina niyamazi; ngokuba uhlala nani, futhi ukini.

Noma yini eniyakukucela egameni lami ngiyakukwenza ukuba uBaba akhazimuliswe eNdodaneni. Uma nicela utho egameni lami, ngolwenza.

Uma ningithanda, gcinani imiyalo yami.

Emzini kaBaba kukhona izindawo zokuhlala eziningi; uma bekungenjalo, bengiyakunitshela. ngiya ukunilungisela indawo.

Futhi uma ngiya nginilungisela indawo, ngobuye ngize, nginemukele kimi; ukuze lapho ngikhona, libe khona lani.

UTomasi wathi kuye: Nkosi, asazi lapho oya khona; futhi singayazi kanjani indlela?
