Ileta yokuqala kaJohane oYinyaniso umpostile 5,14-21.
Kuko oku ukukholosa kwethu ngaye:ukuba sithi sikucele ngokokuthanda kwakhe, uyasiva.
Ukuba siyazi ukuba uyasiva esisukuba sikucela kuye, siyazi ukuba sesikufumene oko sikucelileyo kuye.
Ukuba umntu uthe wambona umzalwana wakhe esona isono esingasingisi kufeni, makathandaze, yaye uThixo womnika ubomi; ubhekisela kwabo benza isono esingasingisi kufeni; kukho isono esisingisa ekufeni; Yiyo le nto ndisithi masingathandazeli.
Bonke ubugwenxa sisono, kodwa kukho isono esingasingisi kufeni.
Siyazi ukuba bonke abazelwe nguThixo aboni; bonke abazelwe nguThixo bayazigcina; ongendawo akamchukumisi.
Siyazi ukuba singabakaThixo, kanti ke ihlabathi liphela lilele kongendawo.
Siyazi kananjalo ukuba uNyana kaThixo weza wasinika ingqondo yokumazi uThixo oyinyaniso, sikuye uThixo oyinyaniso, nakuye uNyana wakhe, uYesu Kristu, onguye uThixo oyinyaniso, nobomi obungunaphakade.
Bantwana, balumkeleni oothixo bobuxoki!
Salmi 149(148),1-2.3-4.5.6a.9b.
Mvumeleni ingoma entsha uYehova,
Indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.
Vuya uSirayeli kuMdali wawo,
Oonyana beZiyon mababe nokugcoba ngukumkani wabo.
Mdumiseni igama lakhe,
Amaculo kunye neengoma ezihombisa iingoma.
INkosi iyabathanda abantu bayo,
Bathobeleni abathembekileyo, uloyiso.
Mabavuye abo bathembekileyo,
ngovuyo bavuke kwiibhedi zabo.
Iindumiso zikaThixo emilonyeni yabo:
Lulo uzuko kubo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe.
Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokukaYohane 3,22-30.
Emveni kwezi zinto, wemka uYesu nabafundi bakhe, waya emideni yelakwaYuda; wahlala khona nabo, wabhaptiza.
NoYohane wabhaptiza e-Enon, kufuphi neSalem, ngokuba amanzi abemaninzi khona apho; baza abantu baya kubhaptizwa.
Phofu ke, uYohane wayengekavalelwa entolongweni.
Kwabakho ke imbuzwano kubafundi bakaYohane namaYuda ngokuhlanjululwa.
Beza ke kuYohane, bathi kuye, Rabhi, lowa wayenawe phesheya kweYordan, umngqinela, yabona, yena uyabhaptiza; bethontelana beza kuye ke bonke.
UYohane waphendula wathi: “Akukho bani unokuthabatha nantoni na ngaphandle kokuba ayinikwe ivela ezulwini.
Nina ngokwenu ningamangqina am ukuba ndathi, Andinguye uKristu mna; ndathi, Ndithunywe phambi kwakhe.
Oyena umtshakazi ngumyeni; ke isihlobo somyeni, esikhoyo simve, sivuya kunene ngenxa yezwi lomyeni; Ngoku olu luvuyo lwam luzalisekile.
Yena umelwe kukuthi akhule, ndinciphe mna.
