Athi uFilipu kuye, Yiza ubone. 47uYesu wambona uNataniyeli esiza kuye, athi ngaye, Nanko umSirayeli inyaniso, ekungekho nkohliso kuye. 48Athi uNataniyeli kuye, Undazi ngantoni na? Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Phambi kokuba uFilipu akubize, uphantsi komkhiwane, ndandikubona. 49Aphendule uNataniyeli athi kuye, Rabhi, wena unguye uNyana kaThixo; wena unguye uKumkani wakwaSirayeli. 50Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ngokuba ndithe kuwe, Ndandikubona uphantsi komkhiwane, uyakholwa na? uya kubona izinto ezinkulu kunezi. 51Athi kuye, Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Emveni koku niya kulibona izulu livulekile, nezithunywa zikaThixo zinyuka zisihla phezu koNyana woMntu.
