Umsebenzi kaJohane uMbhaphathizi
(Mat 3:1–12; Mark 1:1–8)
1Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kukaKesari Tiberiyasi, uPontiyusi Pilatu engumbusi waseJudiya loHerodi engumbusi waseGalili, uFiliphu umfowabo engumbusi welizwe laseIturiya lelaseTrakoniti, loLisaniya engumbusi waseAbilene, 2ngesikhathi uAnasi engumpristi omkhulu langesikaKayafasi, ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuJohane indodana kaZekariya enkangala. 3Weza elizweni lonke laseJordani etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ngokuthethelelwa kwezono, 4njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yamazwi omprofethi uIsaya ukuthi:
Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala lithi:
Lungisani indlela yeNkosi,
qondisani indledlana zayo.#Isa 40:3–5
5Izigodi zonke zizakugqitshwa,
amaqaqa wonke lezintaba zonke zizakwehliswa;
kuqondiswe amazombezombe wonke,
lamaxhakaxhaka wonke ezindlela azakulungiswa;
6bonke abantu bazakubona ukusilisa kukaNkulunkulu.
7Ngakhoke wathi emaxukwini ayelande ukubhaphathizwa nguye: Lina nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olixwayise ukuba libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?#Mat 12:34; 23:33 8Thelani izithelo ezifanele ukuphenduka, lingaqali ukuthi phakathi kwenu: Silobaba uAbrahama. Ngoba ngithi kini: UNkulunkulu ulamandla okuvezela uAbrahama abantwana kulamatshe.#Joha 8:33 9Lakhathesi ihloka selibekiwe empandeni zezihlahla. Ngakho ileso lalesosihlahla esingatheli isithelo esihle siyaganyulwa, siphoselwe emlilweni.#Mat 7:19
10Amaxuku ambuza athi: Pho, sizakwenzani na? 11Waphendula wathi kibo: Olengubo ezimbili kamuphe ongelayo; lolokudla kenze njalo. 12Kwafika labathelisi ukuba babhaphathizwe, bathi kuye: Mfundisi, sizakwenzani na?#Luka 7:29 13Wathi kibo: Lingabizi lutho ngaphezu kwelikumiselweyo. 14Lamabutho athi kuye: Thinake, sizakwenzani? Wathi kuwo: Lingamamuki muntu ulutho, lingadlelezeli; yaneliswani ngumvuzo wenu.
15Njengoba abantu babesalindile, bezibuza enhliziyweni zabo ngoJohane ukuthi ingabe unguKristu yini, 16uJohane waphendula, wathi kibo bonke: Mina ngilibhaphathiza ngamanzi, kodwa uyeza olamandla kulami engingafanele ukuthukulula umchilo wamanyathelo akhe; yena uzakulibhaphathiza ngoMoya oNgcwele langomlilo. 17Ositsha sakhe sokwela sisesandleni sakhe; uzakuthanyela isibuya sakhe abuthele amabele esiphaleni sakhe; kodwa amakhoba uzakuwatshisa ngomlilo ongacimiyo.
18Langokunye ukulaya okunengi watshumayela ivangeli ebantwini. 19Kodwa uHerodi umbusi owayesolwe nguye ngoHerodiyasi umkafowabo langakho konke okubi ayekwenzile uHerodi,#Mat 14:3–4; Mark 6:17–18 20wengezelela lalokhu kokunye konke, wamvalela uJohane entolongweni.
Ukubhaphathizwa kukaJesu
(Mat 3:13–17; Mark 1:9–11)
21Kwathi bebhaphathiziwe bonke abantu, laye uJesu esebhaphathiziwe, ekhuleka, izulu lavuleka, 22uMoya oNgcwele elesimo sejuba wehlela phezu kwakhe; kwezwakala ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi: Wena uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; ngithokozile ngawe.#Gen 22:2; Hubo 2:7; Isa 42:1; Mat 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luka 9:35
