NgokukaMathewu 13:44-53

“Umbuso wezulu ufana nengcebo efihlwe ensimini, umuntu wayifumana, wayithukusa; wahamba ethokozile, wathengisa ngakho konke anakho, wayithenga leyo nsimu. “Futhi umbuso wezulu ufana nomthengi ofuna amapharele amahle; kuthi angalithola ipharele elilodwa lenani elikhulu, ahambe athengise ngakho konke anakho, alithenge. “Umbuso wezulu ufaniswa futhi nenetha elaphonswa olwandle, lawola inhlanganisela yezinhlanzi. Kuthe seligcwele, balidonsela ogwini, bahlala phansi, bakhetha ezinhle, bazifaka ezitsheni, kwathi ezimbi bazilahla. Kuyakuba kanjalo ekupheleni kwezwe. Kuyakuphuma izingelosi, zahlukanise ababi kwabalungileyo. Ababi zibaphonse esithandweni somlilo; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo. “Nikuqondile yini konke lokhu na?” Bathi kuye: “Yebo.” Wayesethi kubo: “Ngakho-ke yileso naleso sazimthetho esifundiselwe umbuso wezulu, sifana nomuntu, umnumzane okhipha engcebeni yakhe okusha nokudala.” Kwathi lapho uJesu eseqedile ukukhuluma ngemizekeliso, wasuka lapho.
