10 UJesu wathi esesendlini kaMathewu esidla, kwabuya abathelisi abanengi lezoni ezinengi bazokudla laye labafundi bakhe.+ 11 Kodwa abaFarisi bathi bekubona lokhu babuza abafundi bakhe bathi: “Kungani umfundisi wenu esidla labathelisi lezoni?”+ 12 Esizwa lokhu wathi: “Abantu abaphilileyo abamdingi udokotela, abagulayo yibo abamdingayo.+ 13 Yikho hambani liyefunda ukuthi kutshoni ukuthi: ‘Ngifuna isihawu hatshi umhlatshelo.’+ Angilandanga ukuzobiza abalungileyo, ngalanda ukuzobiza izoni.”

15 Ngemva kwesikhathi uJesu labafundi bakhe bayakudla endlini kaLevi. Kwakulezoni labathelisi abanengi ababesidla labo ngoba abanengi babo babemlandela.+ 16 Kodwa ababhali abangabaFarisi bathi bebona ukuthi wayesidla lezoni labathelisi, babuza abafundi bakhe bathi: “Kanti kungani esidla labathelisi lezoni?” 17 UJesu wathi ekuzwa lokhu wathi kubo: “Abaphilileyo abamdingi udokotela, abagulayo yibo abamdingayo. Angilandanga ukuzobiza abalungileyo, ngalanda ukuzobiza izoni.”+
