NgokukaMathewu 24:3-14

Esahleli eNtabeni Yeminqumo, abafundi beza kuye ngasese, bathi: “Sitshele ukuthi lokhu kuyakwenzeka nini, futhi siyakuba yini isibonakaliso sokufika kwakho, nomhla wokuphela na?” UJesu waphendula, wathi kubo: “Qaphelani ningadukiswa muntu. Ngokuba kuyakufika abaningi ngegama lami, bathi: ‘Mina nginguKhristu,’ badukise abaningi. Niyakuzwa ngezimpi, namahemuhemu ezimpi. Nina ningethuki, ngokuba kumele ukuba lokhu kwenzeke, kodwa ukuphela kuyakube kungakafiki. Isizwe siyakuvukela esinye, nombuso uvukele omunye; kuyakuba khona indlala, nokuzamazama komhlaba izindawo ngezindawo. Kepha konke lokho kungukuqala nje kwemihelo. “Ngaleso sikhathi bayakunikhaphela osizini, banibulale, nizondwe yizizwe zonke ngenxa yegama lami. Abaningi bayakukhubeka, bakhaphelane, futhi bazondane. Kuyakuvela abaphrofethi mbumbulu abaningi, badukise izindimbane zabantu. Luyakuphola uthando ngenxa yokwanda kobubi. Kepha okhuthazelayo kuze kube sekupheleni, nguyena oyakusindiswa. Leli vangeli lombuso liyakushunyayelwa ezweni lonke, kube ngubufakazi ezizweni zonke, andukuba kufike umhla wokuphela.
