Ukuzalwa kukaJesu(Luka 2:1–7)

18Ukuzalwa kukaJesu Kristu kwaba nje. Unina uMariya esekhombe uJosefa, bengakathathani wafunyanwa eselesisu ngoMoya oNgcwele.

24Kwathi uJosefa esephapheme ebuthongweni, wenza njengalokho isithunywa seNkosi simlayile, wamthatha waba ngumkakhe;

25kodwa kazanga aye kuye, waze wazibula ngendodana; wayitha ibizo wathi nguJesu.
