Mateus 21

Ka Kanga a Īhu i tētahi Rākau Piki

18 Nā, i te ata, i a ia e hoki ana ki te pā, ka hiakai ia. 19 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tētahi piki i te taha o te ara, ka haere ia ki taua rākau, heoi, kīhai i kitea tētahi mea i runga, he rau anake. Ka mea ia ki te rākau, "Kei whai hua koe ā ake ake!" Ā, maroke tonu ake te piki.

20 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā ākonga, ka mīharo, ka mea, "I pēheatia i hohoro ai te maroke o te piki nei?"

21 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, me he whakapono tō koutou, kāhore i ruarua te whakaaro, e kore e meatia e koutou ko tēnei anake i meatia nei ki te piki, engari, ahakoa mea noa koutou ki tēnei maunga, ‘Kia rangā atu koe, kia whakatakā ki te moana’; ka meatia. 22 Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina īnoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou."
