1 Bawela ichibi bafika emangweni wamaGerazini. 2 Kwathi uJesu ephuma esikepeni, kwaqhamuka indoda elomoya omubi ivela emathuneni yamhlangabeza. 3 Indoda le yayihlala emathuneni, kungaselamuntu ongayibopha loba langeketane. 4 Ngoba yayihlezi ibotshiwe izandla lenyawo, kodwa iqamule amaketane lezinsimbi ezinyaweni zayo. Kwakungekho muntu owayelamandla okuyinqoba. 5 Ubusuku lemini yayihlaba umkhosi isemathuneni lasezintabeni, izisike ngamatshe.

6 Yathi ibona uJesu esesebucwala, yagijima yafika yazilahla phansi ngamadolo phambi kwakhe. 7 Yaklabalala ngelizwi elikhulu yathi, "Ufunani ngami, Jesu, Ndodana kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke? Ngegama likaNkulunkulu ungangihlukuluzi!" 8 Ngoba uJesu wayesethe kuyo, "Phuma kuyo indoda le, wena moya omubi!"

9 UJesu waseyibuza wathi, "Ungubani ibizo lakho?"

Yaphendula yathi, "Ibizo lami nguLigiyoni, ngoba sibanengi." 10 Yamncenga uJesu futhifuthi ukuthi angabaxotshi kulowomango.

11 Umhlambi omkhulu wengulube wawusidla ewatheni lwentaba eduzane. 12 Amadimoni amncenga uJesu athi, "Sithumele ezingulubeni; sivumele singene kuzo." 13 Wawavumela, omoya ababi baphuma bayangena ezingulubeni. Umhlambi wazo, owawungaba zinkulungwane ezimbili, wagijima usehlela eliweni lodonga wangena echibini wagalula.

14 Labo ababezelusile babaleka bayabika lokho edolobheni kanye lasemaphandleni, yikho abantu baqubuka bayabona lokho okwakwenzakele. 15 Bathi befika kuJesu bayibona indoda eyayikade ilamadimoni ngobunengi bawo, ihlezi khonapho, igqokile njalo ingqondo isibuyile, besaba kakhulu. 16 Labo ababekubonile kusenzakala batshela abantu okwenzakalayo endodeni eyayilamadimoni, balandisa njalo langezingulube. 17 Abantu basebemncenga uJesu ukuthi asuke emangweni wakibo.

18 Kwathi uJesu esengena esikepeni indoda leyo eyayikade ilamadimoni yamncenga ukuthi ahambe layo. 19 UJesu kayivumelanga, kodwa wathi kuyo, "Hamba ekhaya kwabakini ubatshele ukuba iNkosi ikwenzele okunganani, lokuthi ibe lesihawu kuwe." 20 Ngakho indoda yasihamba yabatshela eDekhapholisi konke uJesu ayeyenzele khona. Bonke abantu bamangala.
