Ngapha koko, ngamanye amaxesha ingelosi yayisihla ingene echibini ize igungxule amanzi; owokuqala ukungena kuwo emva kokuxovula amanzi afunyenwe kuso nasiphi na isifo awayephethwe siso.
Kwakukho umntu owayegula iminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesibhozo.
Ukumbona elele phantsi esazi ukuba kudala enje, wathi kuye: "Uyafuna na ukuphilile?"
Indoda egulayo yaphendula yathi: «Mnumzana, andinamntu wokundntywilisela echibini xa kushukunyiswa amanzi. Ngapha koko, ngelixa ndiza kuya apho, omnye umntu uyehla phambi kwam ».
UYesu wathi kuye, Vuka, uthabathe ukhuko lwakho, uhambe.
Yaphiliswa kwangoko loo mntu, wayithabatha ukhuko lwakhe, wahamba. Kodwa loo mini yayinguMgqibelo.
Athi ngoko amaYuda kuloo mntu uphilisiweyo, NguMgqibelo lo; akuvumelekile ukuba uthwale ukhuko lwakho;
Uthe ke kubo, Ngulowa undiphilisileyo, uthe kum, Thabatha ukhuko lwakho, uhambe.
Bambuza, besithi, Ngubani lowo uthe kuwe, Thabatha ukhuko lwakho, uhambe?
Ke kaloku, owaphiliswayo ebengazi ukuba ngubani; Ngapha koko, uYesu wayehambile, kukho isihlwele kuloo ndawo.
Kwakufutshane emva koko uYesu wamfumana etempileni, wathi kuye: “Uyaphiliswa; ungoni kwakhona, ukuze into embi ingenzeki kuwe ».

Kungenxa yesi sizathu ke le nto amaJuda amtshutshisa uYesu ngenxa yokuba esenza izinto ezinjalo ngesabatha.
