Incwadi yokuqala kaJohane oNgcwele umphostoli 4,11-18.
Bathandekayo, uma uNkulunkulu asithanda, nathi kufanele sithandane.
Akekho owake wabona uNkulunkulu; uma sithandana, uNkulunkulu uhlala kithi futhi nothando lwakhe luphelele kithi.
Kulokhu kuyaziwa ukuthi sihlala kuye futhi kuye kithi: usiphile isipho soMoya wakhe.
Futhi thina ngokwethu sibonile futhi siyafakazela ukuthi uBaba uthumele iNdodana yakhe ukuba ibe ngumsindisi womhlaba.
Noma ngubani obona ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uhlala kuye futhi kuye uNkulunkulu.
Silwazile futhi sakholelwa othandweni uNkulunkulu asithanda ngalo. UNkulunkulu uluthando; noma ubani osemathandweni uhlala kuNkulunkulu futhi uNkulunkulu uhlala kuye.
Kungakho uthando lufinyelele ekupheleliseni kwethu kithi, ngoba sinokholo ngosuku lokwahlulela; ngoba njengalokhu enjalo, sinjalo nathi kulomhlaba.
Othandweni akukho ukwesaba, ngakolunye uhlangothi uthando oluphelele lususa ukwesaba, ngoba ukwesaba kuveza isijeziso futhi noma ngubani owesabayo akaphelele othandweni.
Salmi 72(71),2.10-11.12-13.
UNkulunkulu unike inkosi isahlulelo sakho,
ukulunga kwakho kundodana yenkosi;
Thola abantu bakho nangobulungiswa
nabampofu bakho ngokulunga.
Amakhosi aseTarsis naseziqhingini aletha iminikelo,
amakhosi ama-Arabhu nama-Sabas azonikela ngezintela.
Wonke amakhosi ayokhothama kuye,
zonke izizwe ziyakukhonza.
Uyokhulula umuntu ompofu omemezayo
nodabuki ongatholi sizo,
uyohawukela ababuthakathaka nabampofu
futhi uzosindisa impilo yomuntu odabukile.
Okuvela kwiVangeli likaJesu Kristu ngokukaMarku 6,45: 52-XNUMX.
Ngemuva kwekutsi emuntfu letingetulu kwetigidzi letisihlanu, Jesu watjela bafundzi bakhe kutsi bangene esikebheni bamandzise ngaphesheya kweLwandle, ngaseBetsayida, ngesikhatsi asotisa sicumbi.
Lapho nje esebamukisile, wakhuphukela entabeni ukuyothandaza.
Lapho kuhlwa, isikebhe sasiphakathi nolwandle futhi wayeyedwa emhlabathini.
Kepha ebabona bonke bediniwe ukuklwebhana, ngoba umoya wawubhekene nabo, eseqonde engxenyeni yokugcina yobusuku waya kubo ehamba phezu kolwandle, wafuna ukwedlula bona.
Bona, bembona ehamba phezu kolwandle, bacabanga ukuthi: "Uyisipoki", baqala ukumemeza,
ngoba wonke umuntu wayembonile futhi wayekhathazekile. Kodwa washeshe wakhuluma nabo wathi: "Wozani, yimina, ningesabi!"
Wayesengena kubo esikebheni umoya wawumisa. Bamangala kakhulu phakathi kwabo.
ngoba bengakuqondanga iqiniso kwezinkwa, izinhliziyo zabo zilukhuni.
