7 Bakimara kuva aho, Yesu atangira kubwira abantu benshi bari bamuteze amatwi ibya Yohana. Arababaza ati: “Mwagiye mu butayu kureba iki?+ Ese ni urubingo ruhuhwa n’umuyaga?+

10 Uwo ni we ibyanditswe byavuzeho bigira biti: ‘dore nzohereza intumwa yanjye imbere yawe, kandi ni yo izakubanziriza igutegurire inzira!’+

13 Ariko uwo mumarayika aramubwira ati: “Zekariya, wigira ubwoba, kuko Imana yumvise kwinginga kwawe. Uzabyarana n’umugore wawe Elizabeti umwana w’umuhungu, kandi uzamwite Yohana.+

17 Nanone azagenda imbere y’Imana afite umwuka n’imbaraga nk’ibyo Eliya yari afite.+ Azatuma imitima y’Abisirayeli ihinduka imere nk’iy’abana,+ kandi atume abatumvira bahinduka bagire ubwenge nk’abakiranutsi. Ibyo azabikora kugira ngo afashe abantu kwitegura Yehova.+
