3:13	UThixo ka-Abraham noThixo kaIsake noThixo kaYakobi, uThixo woobawo bethu, uye wamzukisa uNyana wakhe uYesu, ngubani wena, kanjalo, wanikelwa, wakhanyelwa phambi kobuso bukaPilato, ekugwebeni kwakhe ukuba amkhulule.
3:14	Nasuka namkhanyela oNgcwele noLilungisa, wacela ukuba anikwe indoda engumbulali.
3:15	Ngokwenene, yimbangi yoBomi enayibulalayo, athe uThixo wamvusa kwabafileyo, esingamangqina akhe thina.
3:17	Kwaye ngoku, abazalwana, Ndiyazi ukuba wenze le nto ngokungazi, njengokuba benzayo nabakhokeli benu.
3:18	Kodwa ngale ndlela uThixo uye wazizalisekisa izinto awayezivakalise kwangaphambili ngomlomo wabo bonke abaProfeti: nokuba uKristu wakhe ebeya kuva ubunzima.
3:19	Ngoko ke, guqukani niguquke, ukuze zicinywe izono zenu.

IVangeli Engcwele ngokukaLuka 24: 35-48

24:35	And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
24:36	Emva koko, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, Wathi kubo: “Uxolo malube nani. Ndim. Do not be afraid.”
24:37	Kodwa ngokwenene, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
24:38	Wathi kubo: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts?
24:39	See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
24:40	Akuba etshilo, he showed them his hands and feet.
24:41	Emva koko, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, uthe, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
24:42	And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
24:43	And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
24:44	Wathi kubo: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.”
24:45	Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
24:46	Wathi kubo: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
24:47	kwaye, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
24:48	And you are witnesses of these things.
