NgokukaMathewu 15:1-11

Khona abaFarisi nababhali bafika kuJesu bevela eJerusalema, bathi: “Yini ukuba abafundi bakho beqe isiko labadala na? Ngokuba abahlambi izandla nxa bedla isinkwa.” Kepha waphendula, wathi kubo: “Nani, yini ukuba neqe umyalo kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yesiko lenu na? Ngokuba uNkulunkulu wathi: ‘Yazisa uyihlo nonyoko,’ nokuthi: ‘Othuka uyise noma unina makafe nokufa.’ Kepha nina nithi: ‘Oshoyo kuyise noma kunina ukuthi: Kungumnikelo lokho ongabe usizwe yimi ngakho,’ akayikwazisa uyise noma unina; kanjalo nilenze laba yize izwi likaNkulunkulu ngesiko lenu. Bazenzisi, waprofetha kahle ngani u-Isaya, ethi: ‘Lesi sizwe singidumisa ngezindebe zomlomo, kepha inhliziyo yaso ikude nami; kodwa bangikhonza ngeze befundisa izifundiso eziyimiyalo yabantu.’ ” Wayesebabiza abantu, wathi kubo: “Yizwani, niqonde. Akusikho okungena emlonyeni okungcolisa umuntu; kepha okuphuma emlonyeni lokhu kungcolisa umuntu.”
