UMARKO 10:17-22

Xa wayephuma uYesu ehamba, umntu othile weza ebaleka, waguqa phambi kwakhe, wambuza esithi: “Mfundisi olungileyo, ndingenza ntoni ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade?” UYesu ke wathi kuye: “Kutheni usithi ndilungile nje? Akukho mntu ulungileyo. Mnye kuphela olungileyo: nguThixo. Uyayazi le mithetho ithi: ‘Uze ungabulali; uze ungakrexezi; uze ungebi; uze ungangqini ubuxoki; uze ungaqhathi; beka uyihlo nonyoko.’ ” Waphendula yena wathi kuye: “Mfundisi, zonke ezo zinto ndazenza kwasebuncinaneni bam.” UYesu wathi akumondela, weva emthanda, wathi kuye: “Kukho nto inye uyisweleyo: hamba uye kuzithengisa zonke izinto onazo, uyiphe amahlwempu imali leyo; woba nobutyebi ezulwini; uze kum ke, undilandele.” Wadana akukuva oko, wemka ebuhlungu, kuba wayesisinhanha.
