26 Naizvozvo, havana kukwanisa kumubata pakutaura uku pamberi pevanhu, asi, vashamiswa nokupindura kwake, havana chavakataura.+
27 Zvisinei, vamwe vevaSadhusi, vaya vaiti hakuna kumuka, vakauya,+ vakamubvunza,
28 vachiti: “Mudzidzisi, Mosesi+ akatinyorera kuti, ‘Kana mukoma womunhu akafa, aine mudzimai, asi iye akasara asina mwana, munun’una wake+ anofanira kutora mudzimai wacho, omutsira mukoma wake vana naye.’+
29 Naizvozvo kwaiva nevatevedzani vanomwe; uye wokutanga akatora mudzimai akafa asina mwana.+
30 Wechipiri,
31 nowechitatu vakamutorawo. Saizvozvowo ivo vanomwe vose: havana kusiya vana, asi vakafa.+
32 Pakupedzisira, mukadzi wacho akafawo.+

35 asi vaya vakakodzerwa+ nokuwana mamiriro ezvinhu epanguva iyoyo+ nokumuka kubva kuvakafa+ havazoroori kana kuroorwa.
36 Chokwadi havazofi+ nokuti vanenge vakaita sengirozi, uye ivo vana vaMwari nokuva vana vorumuko.+
37 Asi kuti vakafa vanomutswa, kunyange naMosesi akazvizivisa, munyaya yegwenzi reminzwa,+ paanoshevedza Jehovha kuti ‘Mwari waAbrahamu naMwari waIsaka naMwari waJakobho.’+
38 Iye haasi Mwari wevakafa, asi wevapenyu, nokuti kwaari vose vapenyu.”+
39 Vamwe vevanyori vakapindura kuti: “Mudzidzisi, mataura zvakanaka.”
40 Nokuti vakanga vasisina ushingi hwokumubvunza kunyange mubvunzo mumwe chete.
41 Iye akatiwo kwavari: “Sei vachiti Kristu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi?+
42 Nokuti Dhavhidhi anoti mubhuku reMapisarema, ‘Jehovha akati kunaShe wangu: “Gara kuruoko rwangu rworudyi
43 kusvikira ndaita kuti vavengi vako vave sechitsiko chetsoka dzako.”’+
44 Naizvozvo, Dhavhidhi anomuti ‘Ishe’; saka iye mwanakomana wake sei?”
