27 UJesu nakasuka lapho, walandelwa madoda amabili aziimphofu,+ arhuwelela athi: “Ndodana kaDavida, sirhawukela.”

46 Ngemva kwalokho, bafika eJerikho. Kodwana njengombana yena nabafundi bakhe nesiqubuthu esikhulu baphuma eJerikho, uBharthimewu (indodana kaThimewu), isikhombeli esisiphofu, bekahlezi eqadi kwendlela.+ 47 Nakezwa bona nguJesu umNazaretha odlulako, wathoma ukurhuwelela wathi: “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida,+ ngirhawukela!”+ 48 Nabamzwako abanengi bamkhalima, bamtjela ukuthi athule kodwana warhuwelela khulu wathi: “Ndodana kaDavida, ngirhawukela!” 49 UJesu wajama wathi: “Mbizeni eze kimi.” Bayibiza-ke indoda esiphofu leyo, bathi kiyo: “Ungasabi! Sikima; uyakubiza.” 50 Yafuthela isambatho sayo sangaphandle phasi, yeqa yaya kuJesu. 51 UJesu wathi kiyo: “Ufuna ngikwenzeleni?” Isiphofu sathi kuye: “Raboni,* ngenze ngibone godu.” 52 UJesu wathi kiso: “Khamba. Ukukholwa kwakho kukupholisile.”+ Khonokho sabona godu,+ sathoma ukumlandela.

35 Nje-ke njengombana uJesu bekatjhidela eduze neJerikho, indoda ethileko esiphofu beyihlezi eqadi kwendlela ibawa.+ 36 Yathi nayizwa isiqubuthu sidlula, yabuza ukuthi kwenzakalani. 37 Bathi kiyo: “UJesu umNazaretha uyadlula!” 38 Khonokho yarhuwelela yathi: “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavida, ngirhawukela!” 39 Labo ebebangaphambili bayikhalima, bayitjela ukuthi ithule kodwana yarhuwelela khulu yathi: “Ndodana kaDavida, ngirhawukela!” 40 UJesu wajama, wayala bona indoda leyo ilethwe kuye. Kuthe nasele itjhidele, uJesu wayibuza: 41 “Ufuna ngikwenzeleni?” Yathi: “Kosi, ngenza ngibone godu.” 42 UJesu wathi kiyo: “Bona godu; ukukholwa kwakho kukupholisile.”+ 43 Khonokho yabona godu, yathoma ukumlandela,+ idumisa uZimu. Nabantu boke nababona lokhu, badumisa uZimu.+
