NgokukaMathewu 9:18-25

Esakhuluma lokhu kubo, bheka, kwafika umphathi othile, wakhuleka kuye, wathi: “Indodakazi yami ifa khona manje; kepha woza, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwayo, izakuphila.” Wasuka-ke uJesu, wamlandela kanye nabafundi bakhe. Bheka, owesifazane owayenomopho iminyaka eyishumi nambili weza emva kwakhe, wathinta umphetho wengubo yakhe. Ngokuba wayethi phakathi kwakhe: “Uma ngingathinta nje ingubo yakhe, ngizakusindiswa.” UJesu ephenduka wambona, wathi: “Yima isibindi, ndodakazi; ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.” Wasinda owesifazane, kusukela kuleso sikhathi. UJesu esefikile endlini yomphathi, ebona khona ababethi bemitshingo nesixuku esixokozelayo, wathi kubo: “Dedani, ngokuba intombazana ayifile, kodwa ilele.” Bamhleka usulu. Isixuku sesikhishiwe, wangena, wayibamba ngesandla; yavuka intombazana.
