Ileta yokuqala kaJohane oYinyaniso umpostile 4,11-18.
Zintanda, ukuba uThixo wasithanda, nathi simele sithandane.
Akukho namnye owakha wambona uThixo; ukuba siyathandana, uThixo uhlala kuthi, nothando lwakhe lugqibelele kuthi.
Siyazi ngale nto ukuba sihleli kuye, naye uhleli kuthi. Usinike isipho soMoya wakhe.
Kwaye thina ngokwethu sikubonile, siyangqina, ukuba uYise umthumile uNyana wakhe ukuba abe nguMsindisi wehlabathi.
Nabani na oqonda ukuba uYesu nguNyana kaThixo, uThixo uhlala kuye kwaye kuye uThixo.
Siqondile kwaye sakholelwa eluthandweni asinike lona uThixo. Uthixo Luthando; lowo uhleli eluthandweni, uhleli kuye, naye uThixo uhlala kuye.
Yiyo loo nto uthando lufikelele ekugqibeleleni kuthi, kuba sinokholo ngemini yomgwebo; kuba njengoko anjalo yena, sinjalo nathi kweli lizwe.
Uthando alukho uloyiko, kuba uthando olugqibeleleyo luya kugxotha uloyiko, kuba uloyiko lubeka isohlwayo kwaye nabani na owoyikayo akagqibelele eluthandweni.
Salmi 72(71),2.10-11.12-13.
Mnike ukumkani ukugweba kwakho,
ukulunga kwakho kunyana wokumkani;
Buyisa abantu bakho ngobulungisa
nehlwempu lakho nangobulungisa.
Ookumkani baseTarsis nakwiziqithi bazisa iminikelo,
Ookumkani bama-Arabhu namaSabha baya kunikela ngerhafu.
Bonke ookumkani baya kuqubuda kuye,
Zonke izizwe ziya kuyikhonza.
Uya kuyikhulula indoda ehlwempuzekileyo
Nengcikiva ongafumani ncedo,
Uya kuba nemfesane kwabaziintsizana, nabangamahlwempu
asindise ubomi bomntu oxhwalekileyo.
Ukusuka kwiVangeli kaYesu Krestu ngokuka-Maraki 6,45-52.
Emva kokuhlutha kwamawaka amahlanu, uYesu wayalela abafundi ukuba bakhwele esikhitshaneni, bamandulele baye phesheya kolwandle, besiya eBhetsayida, xa wayetshisa isihlwele.
Akuba ebabalisile ke, wenyuka intaba esiya kuthandaza.
Kwakuhlwa, umkhombe ubuphakathi elwandle, waye yena eyedwa emhlabeni.
Kodwa ebabona bonke bediniwe kukukhwela, kuba umoya wawubanqamle, sele esondele kwinxalenye yokugqibela yobusuku waya kubo ehamba phezu kolwandle, kwaye wayefuna ukugqitha kubo.
Bambona ehamba phezu kolwandle, besithi, Ngumphefumlo. Baye ke benkqangaza besithi,
kuba bonke babembonile, bekhathazekile. Kodwa ngokukhawuleza wathetha kubo wathi: "Yizani, ndim, musani ukoyika!"
Emva koko wakhwela esikhombeni kunye nabo kwaye umoya wema. Baye ke bekhwankqiswa ngaphakathi kwabo.
kuba bengakuqondanga ukwanda kwezonka, iintliziyo zabo ziqaqadekile.
