NgokukaLuka 20:9-26

Wayeseqala ukulandisa lo mfanekiso, ethi kubantu: “Umuntu watshala isivini, wasiqashisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye izwe isikhathi eside. Ngenkathi efaneleyo wayesethumela inceku kubalimi ukuba bamnike ezithelweni zesivini; kepha abalimi bayishaya, bayimukisa ze. Waphinda wathuma enye inceku; naleyo bayishaya, bayidumaza, bayimukisa ze. Wayesephinda ethuma neyesithathu; nalena bayilimaza, bayiphonsa ngaphandle. “Khona wathi umninisivini: ‘Ngizakwenze njani na? Ngizakuthuma indodana yami ethandekayo; mhlawumbe lena bazakuyazisa.’ “Kepha abalimi beyibona bakhulumisana bathi: ‘Lo uyindlalifa; masiyibulale ukuba ifa libe ngelethu.’ Bayiphonsa ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala; ngakho-ke umninisivini uzakwenze njani kubo na? Uzakuza, ababhubhise labo balimi, isivini asinike abanye.” Bekuzwa bathi: “Qha, makungabi njalo.” Kepha wababheka, wathi: “Yini, pho, lokhu okulotshiweyo ukuthi: “ ‘Itshe abalinqabayo abakhi lona laba yinhloko yegumbi’? “Yilowo nalowo owayo phezu kwalelo tshe uyakuphohlozwa, kepha lowo eliyakuwela phezu kwakhe liyakumcolisa.” Ababhali nabapristi bafuna ukumbamba khona lapho, kepha besaba abantu, ngokuba bazi ukuthi uwukhulumile lo mfanekiso ngabo. Bamqaphela, bathuma izinhloli ezizishaya abalungileyo ukuba bamhile ngezwi lakhe, baze bamkhaphele emandleni nasegunyeni lombusi wezwe. Bambuza-ke bathi: “Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi ukhuluma, ufundisa ngokuqondileyo, awukhethi buso bamuntu, kepha ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngokuqinisileyo. Sivunyelwe ukuthela kuKesari noma qha?” Kepha eqonda ubuqili babo wathi kubo: “Ngiboniseni udenariyu;* unomfanekiso nombhalo kabani?” Bathi: “OkaKesari.” Wayesethi kubo: “Ngakho-ke nikani uKesari okukaKesari noNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.” Abaze baba namandla ukumhila ngezwi lakhe phambi kwabantu; bamangala ngokuphendula kwakhe, bathula.
