2 Baletha kuye indoda eyayilele phezu kohlaka,* yome umhlubulo. UJesu wathi ebona ukuthi babelokholo, wathi endodeni eyayome umhlubulo: “Ungakhathazeki* ndodana yami! Izono zakho sezithethelelwe.”+

3 Baletha kuye indoda eyayome umhlubulo ithwelwe ngamadoda amane.+ 4 Kodwa ehluleka ukuyifikisa kuJesu ngenxa yobunengi babantu. Ngakho avula isikhala ephahleni lwendlu maqondana loJesu, asesehlisa uhlaka* okwakulele khona leyondoda eyayome umhlubulo. 5 UJesu uthe ebona ukuthi ayelokholo,+ wathi endodeni eyayome umhlubulo: “Mntanami, izono zakho sezithethelelwe.”+ 6 Kwakulabanye ababhali ababehlezi khonapho ababesithi ezinhliziyweni zabo:+ 7 “Kungani indoda le ikhuluma kanje? Ithuka uNkulunkulu. Kambe ngubani ongathethelela izono ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu?”+ 8 Kodwa uJesu wahle wakwazi* ukuthi yikho ababekucabanga, wasesithi kubo: “Kungani linakana ngalezizinto ezinhliziyweni zenu?+ 9 Yikuphi okulula, ukutshela indoda le eyome umhlubulo ukuthi, ‘Izono zakho sezithethelelwe,’ kumbe ukuthi, ‘Sukuma udobhe uhlaka* lwakho uhambe’? 10 Kodwa ukuze likwazi ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu+ ilamandla okuthethelela izono emhlabeni—”+ wasesithi endodeni eyayome umhlubulo: 11 “Ngithi kuwe, sukuma uthathe uhlaka* lwakho uye emzini wakho.” 12 Isizwa lokhu yasukuma yahle yathatha uhlaka* lwayo yaphuma abantu bonke beyikhangele. Basala bemangele kakhulu, bakhazimulisa uNkulunkulu besithi: “Okunje asikaze sikubone.”+
