UJesu ukhuluma loNikodima

1Kwakukhona umuntu wakubaFarisi, uNikodima ibizo lakhe, isikhulu sabaJuda.

2Yena weza kuye ebusuku, wathi kuye: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi ungumfundisi ovela kuNkulunkulu, ngoba kakho ongenza lezizibonakaliso ozenzayo uba uNkulunkulu engelaye.

3UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Uba umuntu engazalwa ngokutsha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.

4UNikodima wathi kuye: Umuntu angazalwa kanjani esemdala na? Angangena ngokwesibili esiswini sikanina, azalwe na?

5UJesu wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Uba umuntu engazalwanga ngamanzi langoMoya, angengene embusweni kaNkulunkulu.

6Lokho okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama; lalokho okuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.

7Ungamangali ngoba ngithe kuwe: Ngabe lizalwa ngokutsha.

8Umoya uphephethela lapho uthanda khona; uyaluzwa udumo lwawo, kodwa kawazi lapho uvela khona lalapho uya khona; banjalo bonke abazelwe nguMoya.

9UNikodima wamphendula wathi: Lokhu kungenzeka kanjani na?

10UJesu wamphendula wathi: Wena ungumfundisi wakoIsrayeli, kawukwazi lokhu na?

11Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Sikhuluma ngesikwaziyo, sifakaze ngesikubonileyo; kodwa kalikwamukeli ukufakaza kwethu.

12Nxa ngilitshelile ngezinto zomhlaba, lingakholwa; lingakholwa kanjani, uba ngilitshela ngezinto zezulwini na?

13Kakho owenyukela ezulwini, kuphela yena owehla ezulwini, iNdodana yomuntu ehlala ezulwini.

14Njengokuba uMose waphakamisa inyoka enkangala, kunjaloke iNdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswa,

25Kwaba khona ukuphikisana phakathi kwabafundi bakaJohane lomJuda ngokuhlambulula.

26Basebesiza kuJohane, bathi kuye: Mfundisi, lowo owawulaye ngaphetsheya kweJordani, owamfakazelayo, khangela, uyabhaphathiza, bayeza kuye bonke.

27UJohane waphendula wathi: Umuntu angemukele ulutho, engalunikwanga luvela ezulwini.

28Lina ngokwenu liyangifakazela ukuthi ngathi: Kangisuye uKristu mina, kodwa ngithunyiwe ngaphambi kwakhe.Joha 1:20

29Olomlobokazi ungumyeni, kodwa isinini somyeni esimiyo simuzwa, sithokoza kakhulu ngelizwi lomyeni. Ngakhoke lintokozo yami isiphelele.

30Umele ukukhula yena, mina nginciphe.

Ovela ezulwini

31Ovela phezulu uphezu kwabo bonke; ovela emhlabeni ungowomhlaba, ukhuluma okomhlaba. Ovela ezulwini uphezu kwabo bonke.

32Lokho akubonileyo lakuzwileyo ufakaza ngakho; kodwa kakho owamukela ubufakazi bakhe.

33Owamukele ubufakazi bakhe ulubekile uphawu lwakhe lokuthi uNkulunkulu uqinisile.

34Ngoba lowo uNkulunkulu amthumileyo ukhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu; ngoba kaniki uMoya ngesilinganiso.

35UYise uyayithanda iNdodana, unikele izinto zonke esandleni sayo.Mat 11:27; Luka 10:22

36Yena okholwa eNdodaneni ulokuphila okungapheliyo; kodwa yena ongakholwayo eNdodaneni kayikukubona ukuphila, kodwa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu luhlezi phezu kwakhe.
