Wakhuphuka, walala phezu komntwana , wabeka umlomo wakhe phezu komlomo wakhe, namehlo akhe phezu kwamehlo akhe , nezandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zakhe ; lapho esekhothama phezu kwakhe , inyama yomntwana yafudumala.

Wayesehla, wazicwilisa kasikhombisa eJordani njengezwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu; inyama yakhe yabuya yaba njengenyama yomntwana omncane, wahlambuluka.

Wayesethi uManowa : Nxa esenzekile amazwi akho , iyakuba yini indlela yomntwana, kuyakwenziwani na?

Ubuwula buboshelwe enhliziyweni yomntwana , kepha induku yokula ya iyabudedisela kude naye.
