Adakwira pantsodzi ya nyumba, acinyasula ntsodziyo kulinganiza pakhana Jezu. Ndipo adamubulusa bundukutu ule pamacira. 5Pakuwona cikhulupiriro cawo, Jezu adawuza bundukutuyo kuti: “Mwana wangu, bzakuipa bzako bzalekereredwa”.

6Tsono pamwepo akhadakhalambo amisiri wa Mtemo wa Mozeji. Iwo adayamba kubzibvundza mum'tima mwawo kuti: 7“Kodi Umweyu angalewe tani tenepo? Kunyoza lini Mulungu kumweku? Mbani angalekerere bzakuipa? Ni Mulungu yekha!” 8Ndipo Jezu mumzimu adadziwa kuti akhakumbuka bzimwebzi mum'tima mwawo, na tenepo adawabvundza kuti: “Thangwe ranyi mun'kumbuka bzimwebzi m'mitima mwanu? 9Cakupusa n'ciponi, kumuwuza bundukutuyu kuti: ‘Bzakuipa bzako bzalekereredwa,’ ayai: ‘Muka, tenga macira yako, uyende?’ 10Tsono kuti mudziwe Mwana-wa-Munthu ali nayo mphambvu pantsi pano yakulekerera bzakuipa, wonani”.

15Pomwe Jezu akhadya m'nyumba mwa Levi, pakhana wanthu azinji wakupimisa msonkho na wanthu wakuphonya. Akhadya na Jezuyo pabodzi na wakupfundzira wace. Thangwe akhalipo azinji wa iwo omwe akhatewera iye. 16Pakhali amisiri wa Mtemo wa afalizi ndipo adawona kuti Jezu an'kudya na wanthu wakuphonya na wanthu wakupimisa msonkho, adabvundza wakupfundzira wace kuti: “Thangwe ranyi an'kudya pabodzi na wakupimisa msonkho na wanthu wakuphonya?” 17Jezu adabva bzimwebzo adawatawira kuti: “Wanthu omwe mbakulimba an'nyangana lini mulapi. Wakuduwala ndiye an'nyangana mulapi! Ine ndiribe kubwera kudzacemera wanthu wakulungama, tsono ndabwera kudzacemera wakuphonya”.

Thangwe ranyi wakupfundzira wanu ambabzimana lini?” 19Jezu adatawira: “Kodi andzace wa mwenekaciro msinda ya malowozi angasale kudya pomwe namwaliyo ali nawo? Bzingacitike lini! Iwo angasale lini kudya pomwe namwaliyo ali nawo. 20Tsono in'dzafika nthawe yomwe an'dzawacosera namwaliyo. Nthawe imweyo an'dzabzimana kudya”.

21“Palibe angasonere cakubvala ca kale na cigamba cipsa. Thangwe angacita tenepo, cigamba cire cimbanyothokera cicikuza mubo. Ndipo kung'ambika kwace kumbakhala kwakukulu kusiyana kale. 22Ndipombo munthu angathire lini vinyu ipsa m'mabudu ya khanda la kale. Thangwe angacita tenepo, mabudu yambang'ambika, ndipo vinyu ire imbataika. Mabuduyo nkhumala basa. Tsono bzin'funika kuikha vinyu m'mabudu yapsa”.

23Pantsiku inango ya malinkhuma, Jezu akhapita m'minda ya tirigu. Akhayenda tenepo, wakupfundzira wace adayamba kucosa ngala za tirigu acimbadya. 24Pamwepo afalizi adabvundza Jezu kuti: “Thangwe ranyi wakupfundira wanu ali kucita bzomwe bzin'funika lini pantsiku ya malinkhuma?” 25Iye adatawira: “Thangwe ranyi mun'cita ninga mulibe kuwerenga bzomwe adacita Davidi na andzace, pomwe akhana njala? 26Iye adapita m'nyumba ya Mulungu, panthawe yomwe Abiyatali akhali mkulu wa azibaba wa ntsembe, acikadya pau yakuperekedwa kwa Mulungu.* Na tenepo pau imweyo ikhali yakuletsedwa kuti winango ali-wentse adye, kupambula azibaba wa ntsembe wokha. Tsono adagawirambo andzace wale omwe akhali naye”.

27Ndipo Jezu pakupitiriza fala, adauza afalizi kuti: “Mulungu adaikha ntsiku ya malinkhuma kuti ikhale yakuthandiza wanthu. Alibe kulenga wanthu kuti akhale akapolo wa ntsiku ya malinkhuma. 28Na tenepo Mwana-wa-Munthu ana mphambvu ngakhale kwa ntsiku ya malinkhuma”.
