2 Kwakulendoda eyayithiwa nguZakhewu; wayeyinduna yabathelisi njalo enothile. 3 Wayefuna ukubona uJesu ukuthi wayengumuntu onjani, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayengumuntu omfitshane, wehluleka ngenxa yesiminyeminye. 4 Wasegijimela phambili, wakhwela phezu komkhiwa wesikhamore ukuze ambone njengoba uJesu wayesiza ngaleyondlela.
5 Kwathi uJesu esefikile kuleyondawo, wakhangela phezulu wathi kuye, "Zakhewu, yehla masinyane. Ngizakwethekelela endlini yakho lamuhla." 6 Wasesehla uZakhewu masinyane wamamukela ngokuthokoza.
7 Bonke abantu bakubona lokhu bangunguna besithi, "Useyekuba yisethekeli sesoni."
8 Kodwa uZakhewu wasukuma wathi eNkosini, "Khangela, Nkosi! Okwamanje senginika ingxenye yenotho yami kwabampofu njalo nxa ngike ngadlelezela omunye umuntu loba ngakuphi, ngizambhadala ngokuphindwe kane lokho engakuthathayo."
