NgokukaMathewu 11:1-6

Kwathi ukuba uJesu aqede ukuyala abafundi bakhe abali-12, wahamba lapho wayofundisa, futhi eshumayela emizini yakubo. Kuthe lapho uJohane esejele, ezwa ngemisebenzi kaKhristu wayesethumela ngabafundi bakhe, wathi kuye: “Unguye yini ozayo, noma silindele omunye na?” UJesu waphendula wathi kubo: “Hambani nimlandise uJohane ngalokho enikuzwileyo nenikubonileyo: Izimpumputhe ziyabona, izinyonga ziyahamba, abanochoko bayahlanjululwa, izithulu ziyezwa, abafileyo bayavuswa, nabampofu bashunyayezwa ivangeli. Ubusisiwe ongayukukhubeka ngenxa yami.”
