Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: “Isilonda sakho singelapheki. isifo sakho sibi kakhulu.
Esilondeni sakho, azikho amakhambi, akukho sibazi esakhiwe.
Zonke izithandwa zakho zikukhohliwe, azisakufuni; ngoba ngikushayile njengesitha sishaya, ngesijeziso esibuhlungu, ngobubi bakho obukhulu, ngenxa yezono zakho eziningi.
Ukhalelani ngenxeba lakho? Isifo sakho singalapheki. Ngenxa yobubi bakho obukhulu, ngenxa yezono zakho eziningi, ngikwenzele lezizinto ezimbi.
Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakubuyisa ukuphela kwamatende kaJakobe, ngihawukele izindlu zakhe. Umuzi uzokwakhiwa kabusha emanxiweni futhi isigodlo siphinde sikhuphuke endaweni yaso.
Kuzoqhamuka amaculo okudumisa, kumemeza abantu bejabule. Ngiyakubandisa, bangehli, ngiyakubahlonipha, bangadeleli,
izingane zabo ziyoba njengangaphambili, umhlangano wabo uzoqina phambi kwami; kuyilapho ngiyakujezisa bonke abaphikisana nabo.
Umholi wabo uzoba ngomunye wabo futhi umphathi wabo uzophuma kubo; Ngizomsondeza futhi uzosondela kimi. Ngoba ngubani obeka impilo yakhe engcupheni ukuze asondele kimi? Indaba yeNkosi.
Uzoba ngabantu bami futhi ngibe nguNkulunkulu wakho.

Abantu bayakwesaba igama leNkosi

futhi akadeleli isicelo sakhe.
Lokhu kubhalelwe isizukulwane esizayo

INkosi yabheka phezulu esiqongweni sendlu yakhe engcwele,

ukuzwa ukukhala kwejele,
ukukhulula abalahliselwe ukufa.
Izingane zezinceku zakho zizoba nomuzi,

Ukuze igama leNkosi limenyezelwe eSiyoni
nendumiso yakhe eJerusalema,
lapho abantu bebuthana ndawonye
nemibuso ukuyikhonza iNkosi.
Okuvela kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaMathewu 14,22-36.
[Ngemuva kokuba isixuku sesidlile], masinyane uJesu waphoqelela abafundi ukuba bangene esikebheni bamandulele baye kolunye uhlangothi lomfula, yena wayezosichitha isixuku.
Ngemuva kokushiya isixuku, wakhuphukela entabeni eyedwa ukuyothandaza. Lapho kuhlwa, wayesele yedwa lapho.
Ngaleso sikhathi, isikebhe sase sivele amamayela ambalwa ukusuka emhlabathini futhi sanyakaziswa ngamagagasi, ngenxa yomoya ophambene.
Ekupheleni kobusuku weza kubo ehamba phezu kolwandle.
Abafundi, lapho bebembona ehamba phezu kolwandle, bakhathazeka bathi: "Uyisipoki" futhi baqala ukukhala ngokwesaba.
Kepha uJesu wakhuluma kubo masinyane, wathi: “Yimani isibindi, ngingesabi.
UPhetro wathi kuye: "Nkosi, uma kunguwe, ngiyale ukuba ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi."
Futhi wathi, "Woza!" UPhetro wehla esikebheni, waqala ukuhamba phezu kwamanzi waya kuJesu.
Kepha ngenxa yobudlova bomoya, yathuka, yaqala ukushona, yamemeza: "Nkosi, ngisindise!".
Masinyane uJesu welula isandla, wambamba, wathi kuye: "Muntu okholwayo omncane, ungabelani na?"
Lapho nje singena esikebheni, umoya wema.
Labo ababesesikebheni bamkhothamela, bememeza bathi: "Ngempela uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu!"
Ngemuva kokuqeda ukuwela, bafika eGenesis.
Futhi lapho abantu bakhona, bamqaphela uJesu, basakaza izindaba kuso sonke isifunda; bonke abagulayo bamlethela,
bamncenga ukuba akwazi ukuthinta okungenani umphetho wengubo yakhe. Futhi labo abamthintile baphola.
