NgokukaLuka 21:5-19

Besakhuluma abanye ngethempeli ukuthi lihlotshiswe ngamatshe amahle nangezipho, wathi kubo: “Kuyakufika izinsuku, lapho kungayikushiywa kulokhu enikubonayo itshe phezu kwetshe elingayikudilizelwa phansi.” Base bembuza bethi: “Mfundisi, lokhu kuyakuba nini na? Nesibonakaliso siyakuba yini, lapho sekuyakwenzeka lokhu, na?” Wathi: “Qaphelani ningadukiswa, ngokuba kuyakuza abaningi ngegama lami, bathi: ‘Nginguye;’ bathi futhi: ‘Isikhathi sesisondele;’ maningabalandeli. Nxa nizwa ngezimpi neziyaluyalu, ningethuki, ngokuba kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke lokho kuqala, kepha ukuphela akukabikho masinyane.” Khona wathi kubo: “Isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso; kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba, nobhici, nendlala izindawo ngezindawo, kube khona izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinkulu ezivela ezulwini. “Kepha ngaphambi kwakho konke lokho bayakunibamba, banizingele, banikhaphele emasinagogeni* nasematilongweni, baniyise phambi kwamakhosi nababusi ngenxa yegama lami. Kuyakunehlela kube ngubufakazi. Ngakho kugcineni ezinhliziyweni zenu ukuba ningazindli ngaphambili eniyakuziphendulela ngakho; ngokuba mina ngiyakuninika umlomo nokuhlakanipha abangemelane nakho, bakuphike, bonke abayimpi kini. Yebo, niyakukhashelwa nangabazali, nabafowenu, nezihlobo, nabangane; abanye benu bayakubulawa yibo. Niyakuzondwa yibo bonke ngenxa yegama lami. Akuyikulahleka nalunwele lwekhanda lenu. Ngokukhuthazela kwenu niyakuzuza imiphefumulo yenu.
