9UJesu wathi kuye: “Namuhla insindiso ifikile kule ndlu, lokhu naye uyindodana ka-Abhrahama. 10 Ngokuba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukuzofuna nokusindisa okulahlekileyo.”

14 “Kepha abantu bezwe lakhe babemzonda, ngakho-ke bathumela amanxusa, amlandela, ukuba afike lapho, athi: ‘Asithandi ukuba lo abuse phezu kwethu.’
15“Kwathi esebuyile ekuthatheni umbuso, wazibiza lezo zinceku ayezinike imali ukuze ezwe ukuthi zizuzeni ngokuhweba.
16“Kweza eyokuqala, yathi: ‘Nkosi, uhlamvu lwakho lwemali luzuze izinhlamvu zemali ezilishumi.’
17“Wathi kuyo: ‘Kuhle-ke, nceku enhle, ngokuba wethembekile kokuncane, uzakubusa imizi elishumi.’
18“Kweza neyesibili, yathi: ‘Nkosi, uhlamvu lwakho lwemali luzuze eziyisihlanu.’
19“Wathi nakuleyo: ‘Nawe busa imizi emihlanu.’
20“Kweza nenye, yathi: ‘Nkosi, nantu uhlamvu lwakho lwemali engalusonga ngendwangu ngalulondoloza. 21Phela bengikwesaba, kwazise ungumuntu olukhuni. Uthatha ongazange ukubeke, uvune ongazange ukuhlwanyele.’
22“Wathi kuyo: ‘Ngizakwehlulela ngamazwi akho, wena nceku embi. Ubuwazi kahle ukuthi ngingumuntu olukhuni: ngithatha engingazange ngikubeke, ngivune engingakuhlwanyelanga. 23Kungani ungalufakanga uhlamvu lwemali yami ebhange, khona kuzothi ekubuyeni kwami, ngiluthole nenzalo na?’
24“Wayesethi kwababemi lapho: ‘Mephuceni uhlamvu lwemali, nilunike onezilishumi.’
25“Kepha bathi kuye: ‘Nkosi, unezinhlamvu zemali ezilishumi.’
26 “Ngithi kini: yilowo nalowo onakho, uyakuphiwa; kodwa lowo ongenakho, uyakwemukwa nalokho anakho. 27Kepha lezo zitha zami ezazingathandi ukuba ngizibuse, ziletheni lapha, nizibulale ngizibonela ngawami.”
28Kuthe esekushilo lokho wayeseqhubeka nohambo, wakhuphukela eJerusalema.

31“Uma kukhona umuntu onibuzayo, ethi: ‘Nilithukulelani na?’ anothi: ‘INkosi iyalidinga.’ ”
32Ababethunyiwe bahamba, bathola kunjengalokhu ayebatshelile. 33Kuthe besalithukulula ithole, abaninilo bathi kubo: “Nilithukululelani ithole na?”

Kepha manje kufihlakele emehlweni akho. 43Ngokuba uyakufikelwa yizinsuku lapho izitha zakho ziyakwakha ugange, zikuhaqe, zikuvimbezele macala wonke. 44 Zikuqumbe phansi othulini, wena nabantu abanawe; aziyukushiya litshe phezu kwelinye phakathi kwakho. Ngokuba awusazanga isikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwakho.”
