8  Emihleni leyo, kwaba nesinye isiqubuthu esikhulu, naso besinganakudla. Yeke wabiza abafundi wathi kibo:  “Ngiyasirhawukela isiqubuthwesi+ ngombana sesihlezi nami amalanga amathathu, abe asikadli litho.+  Nangingathi sikhambe siye emakhaya silambile, sizokuphelelwa mamandla endleleni ngombana abanye babuya kude.”  Abafundi bakhe bamphendula bathi: “Endaweni ekude kangaka nemizi, umuntu angabufumanaphi uburotho obaneleko obungasuthisa abantwaba?”  Wathi kibo: “Ninoburotho obungaki?” Bathi: “Obulikhomba.”+  Wayala isiqubuthu bona sihlale phasi. Wathatha uburotho obulikhomba, wathokoza uZimu, wabuhlephula, wabunikela abafundi bakhe bona banikela isiqubuthu.+  Godu bebaneenhlambi ezincani ezimbalwa, wathokoza uZimu, watjela abafundi bakhe ukuthi nazo bazinikele isiqubuthu.  Badla basutha, babutha abomantji abakhulu abalikhomba abazele ukudla okuseleko.+  Nje-ke bekumadoda azii-4 000. Ngemva kwalokho, wathi bakhambe. 10  Msinyana wangena ngesikepeni nabafundi bakhe baya esifundeni seDalmanutha.+ 11  Kweza abaFarisi bathoma ukuphikisana naye, bamkatelela ukuthi abenzele isibonakaliso esivela ezulwini, banqophe ukumlinga.+ 12  Wabubula emmoyenakhe bese wathi: “Kubayini isizukulwanesi sifuna isibonakaliso?+ Ngiqinisile ngithi, akunasibonakaliso esizokwenzelwa isizukulwanesi.”+ 13  Wabatjhiya lapho, wakhwela ngesikepeni godu, wayamela ngeligwini elingaphetjheya. 14  Nokho, bakhohlwa ukuphatha uburotho, bebanganalitho kibo esikepeni ngaphandle koburotho bunye tere.+ 15  Wabayelelisa ngokukhanyako wathi: “Yelelani; nitjheje isibiliso sabaFarisi nesibiliso sakaHerode.”+ 16  Bathoma ukuphikisana bodwa ngokuthi abanaburotho. 17  Alemuka lokho, wathi kibo: “Kubayini niphikisana ngokuthi aninaburotho? Anikaboni begodu anikalemuki na? Kghani iinhliziyo zenu ziseselikhuni ekuzwisiseni? 18  ‘Nanyana ninamehlo, aniboni na; nanyana nineendlebe, anizwa na?’ Anikhumbuli na ukuthi 19  lokha nangihlephulela amadoda azii-5 000 uburotho obuhlanu,+ nabutha abomantji abangaki abazele ukudla okuseleko?” Bathi kuye: “Abalitjhumi nambili.”+ 20  “Nalokha nangihlephulela amadoda azii-4 000 uburotho obulikhomba, nabutha abomantji abakhulu abangaki abazele ukudla okuseleko?” Bathi kuye: “Abalikhomba.”+ 21  Ngalokho wathi kibo: “Anikazwisisi nanje?” 22  Nje-ke bafika eBhethesayida. Lapho abantu baletha kuye indoda esiphofu, bamrabhela bona ayithinte.+ 23  Wabamba indoda esiphofu leyo ngesandla, waya nayo ngaphandle kwemizi. Wayikhafulela emehlweni,+ wabeka izandla zakhe kiyo wayibuza: “Ubonani?” 24  Indoda leyo yaqala yathi: “Ngibona abantu kodwana babonakala njengemithi ekhambakhambako.” 25  Godu wabeka izandla zakhe emehlweni wendoda leyo, yabona kuhle. Amehlwayo alapheka, yabona yoke into kuhle. 26  Wayithumela ekhaya, wathi: “Ungangeni ngemzini.” 27  UJesu nabafundi bakhe baya ezabelweni zeKhesariya Filipi, nabasendleleni wathoma ukubuza abafundi bakhe, wathi: “Abantu bathi ngingubani?”+ 28  Bathi kuye: “Batjho unguJwanisi uMbhabhadisi+ kodwana abanye bathi ungu-Eliya,+ abanye bathi ungomunye wabaphorofidi.” 29  Wabuza bona ukuthi: “Alo-ke, nina nithi ngingubani?” UPitrosi wathi: “UnguKrestu.”+ 30  Yeke wabayala ngokuqinileko bona bangatjeli muntu ngaye.+ 31  Wathoma ukubafundisa bona iNdodana yomuntu kufuze iqalane namatshwenyeko amanengi begodu ininwe badala, baphristi abakhulu nabatloli, beyibulawe,+ ivuke ngemva kwamalanga amathathu.+ 32  Kwamambala, watjho lokho ngokutjhaphulukileko. Kodwana uPitrosi wamdosela eqadi, wamkhalima.+ 33  Nakezwa lokho wajika, waqala abafundi bakhe, wakhalima uPitrosi, wathi: “Iya emva kwami, Sathana! Ngombana awucabangi imicabango kaZimu kodwana yabantu.”+ 34  Nje-ke wabizela isiqubuthu nabafundi bakhe kuye wathi kibo: “Nanyana ngubani ofuna ukungilandela, akazidele athathe isigodo sakhe sokuhlunguphazwa* angilandele qobe.+ 35  Ngombana nanyana ngubani ofuna ukusindisa ukuphila kwakhe kuzomlahlekela kodwana nanyana ngubani olahlekelwa kuphila kwakhe ngebanga lami nangebanga leendaba ezimnandi uzokusindisa.+ 36  Kuzomsiza ngani umuntu ukuzuza iphasi loke kodwana alahlekelwe kuphila kwakhe?*+ 37  Namkha khuyini umuntu anganikela ngayo bona afumane ukuphila kwakhe?*+ 38  Nanyana ngubani oneenhloni ngami nangamezwami esizukulwaneni esifebako* nesinesonwesi, iNdodana yomuntu izokuba neenhloni ngaye+ nayiza ngephazimulo kaYise ineengilozi ezicwengileko.”+
