Kodwa uthando lukaYesu ngabantu lwaluphelele kangangokuba wayezikhathalele iimfuno zabo zomzimba. Okokuqala, camngca ngomgca wokuqala wale nkcazo evela kwiNkosi yethu ngasentla: “Intliziyo yam ishukunyiswa lusizi sisihlwele…” Uthando lukaYesu olungcwele lwalunxibelelene nobuntu baKhe.

Kule Vangeli, abantu ababenoYesu bakhetha ukubeka ukholo lwabo kuqala. Bakhethe ukuhlala noYesu nangona babengenakutya. Mhlawumbi abanye abantu babeshiye usuku okanye ezimbini ngaphambili begqiba ukuba isidingo sokutya sithathe indawo ephambili. Kodwa abo banokuba benze njalo baphulukene nesipho esingaqhelekanga salo mmangaliso apho isihlwele sonke sondliwe sade saneliseka ngokupheleleyo.
