2ngesikhathi uAnasi engumpristi omkhulu langesikaKayafasi, ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuJohane indodana kaZekariya enkangala.

3Weza elizweni lonke laseJordani etshumayela ubhaphathizo lokuphenduka ngokuthethelelwa kwezono,

4njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yamazwi omprofethi uIsaya ukuthi:

Ilizwi lomemezayo enkangala lithi:

Lungisani indlela yeNkosi,

qondisani indledlana zayo.

5Izigodi zonke zizakugqitshwa,

amaqaqa wonke lezintaba zonke zizakwehliswa;

kuqondiswe amazombezombe wonke,

lamaxhakaxhaka wonke ezindlela azakulungiswa;

6bonke abantu bazakubona ukusilisa kukaNkulunkulu.

7Ngakhoke wathi emaxukwini ayelande ukubhaphathizwa nguye: Lina nzalo yezinyoka, ngubani olixwayise ukuba libalekele ulaka oluzayo na?

10Amaxuku ambuza athi: Pho, sizakwenzani na?

11Waphendula wathi kibo: Olengubo ezimbili kamuphe ongelayo; lolokudla kenze njalo.

12Kwafika labathelisi ukuba babhaphathizwe, bathi kuye: Mfundisi, sizakwenzani na?Izizukulwana zikaJesu(Mat 1:1–17)
