13:13 Kwaye xa uPawulos nabo babenaye banduluka ngomkhombe ePafo, Bafika ePerga yasePamfili. Wemka ke uYohane kubo, wabuyela eYerusalem.

13:14 Kodwa ngokwenene, bona, bemka ePerga, wafika kwa-Antiyokwe yasePisidi. Kwaye ekungeneni kwindlu yesikhungu ngomhla weSabatha, bahlala phantsi.

13:15 Emva koko, emva kokufundwa koMthetho nabaprofeti, Abaphathi bendlu yesikhungu bathumela kubo, esithi: “Abazalwana abadumileyo, ukuba kuthe kwakho kuni ilizwi lovuselelo olu ebantwini, thetha.”

13:16 Emva koko uPawulos, ephakama ewangawangisa ngesandla ukuba kuthuleke, watsho: “Madoda akwaSirayeli, nani nimoyikayo uThixo, phulaphula ngenyameko.

13:17 UThixo woonyana bakaSirayeli wabanyula oobawo;, wabaphakamisa abantu, xa babephambukele kwilizwe laseYiputa. Kwaye ngengalo ephakamileyo, wabakhupha apho.

13:18 Kwaye kulo lonke ixesha leminyaka engamashumi amane, Wayinyamezela imikhwa yabo entlango.

13:19 Ngokutshabalalisa iintlanga ezisixhenxe ezweni lakwaKanan, wababela ilizwe labo ngeqashiso,

13:22 Waza wamsusa, wabavelisela ukumkani uDavide. Kwaye enikela ubungqina ngaye, uthe, ‘Ndimfumene uDavide, unyana kaYese, ndibe yindoda ngokwentliziyo yam, oya kukufeza konke endikwenzayo.’

13:23 Kwinzala yakhe, ngokweSithembiso, UThixo wazisa uYesu uMsindisi kwaSirayeli.

13:24 UYohane wayeshumayela, phambi kokufika kwakhe, ubhaptizo lwenguquko kubo bonke abantu bakwaSirayeli.

13:25 Emva koko, xa uYohane wagqiba ikhondo lakhe, Ebesitsho: ‘Andinguye lo ucinga ukuba ndinguye. Kuba, khangela!, omnye ufika emva kwam, iimbadada zeenyawo zakhe andifanelekanga ukuzikhulula.

IVangeli

UYohane 13: 16-20

13:16 Amen, amen, Ndithi kuni, the servant is not greater than his Lord, and the apostle is not greater than he who sent him.

13:17 If you understand this, you shall be blessed if you will do it.

13:18 I am not speaking about all of you. I know those whom I have chosen. But this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.’

13:19 And I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it has happened, you may believe that I am.

13:20 Amen, amen, Ndithi kuni, whoever receives anyone whom I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me.”
