13 Saka endai, mudzidze kuti izvi zvinorevei, ‘Ndinoda ngoni, kwete chibayiro.’+ Nokuti handina kuuya kuzoshevedza vanhu vakarurama, asi vatadzi.”
14 Vadzidzi vaJohani vakabva vauya kwaari, vakabvunza kuti: “Nei isu nevaFarisi tiine tsika yokutsanya asi vadzidzi venyu vasingatsanyi?”+
15 Jesu akati kwavari: “Shamwari dzomuroori dzine chikonzero chokuchema here chero bedzi muroori+ achiri nadzo? Asi mazuva achauya padzichatorerwa muroori,+ uye idzo dzichabva dzatsanya.+

17 Uyewo vanhu havaisi waini itsva muhombodo tsaru dzewaini; asi kana vakadaro, hombodo dzewaini dzinobva dzaparuka waini yorasika uye hombodo dzewaini dzoparara.+ Asi vanhu vanoisa waini itsva muhombodo itsva dzewaini, uye zvose zviri zviviri zvinochengeteka.”+
18 Paakanga achivaudza zvinhu izvi, tarira! mumwe mutongi+ akanga asvika akatanga kumupfugamira,+ achiti: “Mwanasikana wangu anofanira kuva afa zvino;+ asi uyai muise ruoko rwenyu paari uye achavazve mupenyu.”+
19 Zvino Jesu achisimuka, akatanga kumutevera; vadzidzi vake vakadarowo.
20 Uye, tarira! mukadzi akanga achitambura nokubuda ropa kwemakore gumi nemaviri+ akauya necheshure, akabata masa yenguo yake yokunze;+
21 nokuti akaramba achiti mumwoyo make: “Kana ndikangobata nguo yake yokunze ndichapora.”+
22 Jesu akatendeuka uye, achimuona, akati: “Shinga, mwanasikana; kutenda kwako kwakuporesa.”+ Kubvira paawa iyoyo mukadzi wacho akapora.+
23 Zvino paakapinda mumba momutongi wacho,+ akaona varidzi venyere neboka racho revanhu richiita nyonganyonga noruzha,+
24 Jesu akatanga kuti: “Budai muno, nokuti kasikana hakana kufa, asi kakarara.”+ Ivo vakatanga kumuseka vachimuzvidza.+
