Kepha ababhali nabaFarisi baletha kuye owesifazane ebanjwe ephinga ; sebemmise phakathi kwabo,

Kuthe ephuma lapho , ababhali nabaFarisi baqala ukumzonda kabi nokumbuzisisa ngokuninginingi,

Ababhali nabapristi bafuna ukumbamba khona lapho, kepha besaba abantu, ngokuba bazi ukuthi uwukhulumile lo mfanekiso ngabo.

Xwayani ababhali abafuna ukuhamba bembethe izingubo ezinde, bethanda ukubingelelwa ezigcawini nokuhlala phambili emasinagogeni nasezindaweni ezingenhla ekudleni,

Ababhali nabaFarisi baqala ukuzindla ngokuthi : Ngubani lo okhuluma ngokuhlambalaza? Ngubani ongathethelela izono ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu yedwa na?

Ababhali nabaFarisi bamqaphelisisa ukuthi uyaphilisa yini ngesabatha , ukuze bathole ukumbeka icala.

Khona uJesu efundisa ethempelini wabuza wathi : Basho kanjani ababhali ukuthi uKristu uyindodana kaDavide na?

Ekufundiseni kwakhe wathi : Xwayani ababhali abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izingubo ezinde, nokubingelelwa ezigcawini,

Kepha kwakukhona ababhali abathile behlezi khona, bezindla ezinhliziyweni zabo ngokuthi:

Base bembuza , bethi: Basholoni ababhali ukuthi u-Eliya umelwe ukufika kuqala na?

Bambuza abafundi, bathi: Pho, basholoni ababhali ukuthi u -Eliya umelwe ukufika kuqala na?

wathi: Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMose.

Ababembambile uJesu bamusa kuKayafase umpristi omkhulu , lapho kwakubuthene khona ababhali namalunga.
