Ngakho sahamba sageza, sabuya sesibona j.

8Ngakho abakhelene laso lalabo ababesibonile ngaphambili ukuthi sasiyisiphofu k, bathi: Kayisuye yini lo owayehlezi ephanza l? 9Abanye bathi: Lo nguye; kodwa abanye bathi: Unjengaye. Yena wathi: Nginguye. 10Ngakho bathi kuye: Avulwe njani amehlo akho? 11Yena waphendula wathi: Umuntu othiwa nguJesu wenze udaka, waninda amehlo ami, wathi kimi: Hamba uye echibini leSilowama, ugeze. Njalo ngahamba ngageza, ngabuye ngabona m. 12Ngakho bathi kuye: Ungaphi yena? Wathi: Kangazi.

Wasesithi kubo: Ufake udaka emehlweni ami, ngasengigeza, sengibona o. 16Ngakho abanye babaFarisi bathi: Lumuntu kaveli kuNkulunkulu p, ngoba kagcini isabatha q. Abanye bathi r: Umuntu oyisoni angazenza njani izibonakaliso ezinje s? Kwasekusiba khona ukwehlukana phakathi kwabo t. 17Baphinda bathi kuso isiphofu: Wena uthini ngaye, lokhu evule amehlo akho?

18AmaJuda-ke kawakholwanga ngaye v, ukuthi wayeyisiphofu usemukele ukubona, aze abiza abazali bakhe osebuye wabona, 19asebabuza athi: Lo uyindodana yenu, lina elithi yazalwa iyisiphofu yini? Pho isibona njani khathesi? 20Abazali bakhe bawaphendula bathi: Siyazi ukuthi lo uyindodana yethu, lokuthi wazalwa eyisiphofu; 21kodwa ukuthi ubona njani khathesi, kasikwazi; kumbe ngubani ovule amehlo akhe, thina kasikwazi; yena usekhulile; mbuzeni, uzazikhulumela yena. 22Abazali bakhe batsho lezizinto, ngoba besesaba w amaJuda x; ngoba amaJuda ayesevumelene ngokuthi, uba loba engubani ovuma ukuthi unguKristu y, kakhutshwe esinagogeni z. 23Kungakho abazali bakhe bathi: Usekhulile, mbuzeni.

24Ambiza-ke ngokwesibili lowomuntu owayeyisiphofu, athi kuye: Phana uNkulunkulu udumo aa; thina siyazi ukuthi lowomuntu uyisoni ab. 25Yena wasephendula esithi: Loba eyisoni kangazi, kunye engikwaziyo, ukuthi bengiyisiphofu, khathesi sengibona. 26Asesithi kuye futhi: Wenzeni kuwe? Uwavule njani amehlo akho? 27Wawaphendula wathi: Sengilitshelile, kodwa kalizwanga ac, lifunelani ukuzwa futhi? Liyafisa lani ukuba ngabafundi bakhe yini? 28Ngakho amthuka, esithi: Nguwe ongumfundi wakhe; kodwa thina singabafundi bakaMozisi. 29Thina siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wakhuluma loMozisi; kodwa lo kasimazi lapho avela khona ad. 30Umuntu waphendula wathi kuwo: Ngoba kulokhu kuyisimanga ukuthi lina kalimazi lapho avela khona, kanti uvule amehlo ami ae. 31Njalo siyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu kazizwa izoni af; kodwa uba umuntu engokhonza uNkulunkulu, esenza intando yakhe, uyamuzwa lowo ag. 32Loba nini kakukaze kuzwakale ukuthi kukhona owavula amehlo owazalwa eyisiphofu ah. 33Uba lo ai ubengaveli kuNkulunkulu, ubengebe lamandla okwenza ulutho aj. 34Aphendula athi kuye: Wena wazalelwa esonweni ngokupheleleyo, njalo wena uyasifundisa yini ak? Asemxotshela phandle al.

35UJesu wezwa ukuthi amxotshele phandle am; kwathi esemficile, wathi kuye: Wena uyakholwa yini an eNdodaneni kaNkulunkulu ao? 36Yena waphendula wathi: Ingubani, Nkosi, ukuze ngikholwe kuyo? 37UJesu wasesithi kuye: Lawe usuyibonile ap, njalo okhuluma lawe uyiyo aq. 38Wasesithi: Nkosi, ngiyakholwa; wasemkhonza ar.

Kodwa khathesi lithi: Siyabona; ngakho isono senu simi aw.
