32:7	Wathetha uYehova kuMoses, esithi: “Hamba, yehla. Abantu bakho, owamkhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, bonile.
32:8	Barhoxile kamsinya endleleni owabatyhilela yona. Kwaye bazenzele ithole elityhidiweyo, baqubuda kuyo. Kwaye immolating amaxhoba kuyo, baye batsho: ‘Ngoothixo bakho aba, Sirayeli , owakukhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa.’ ”
32:9	Kwaye kwakhona, Wathi uYehova kuMoses: Ndiyaqonda ukuba aba bantu bantamo ilukhuni.
32:10	Ndikhulule, ukuze ubushushu bam buvuthe kubo, ndibatshabalalise, ndikwenze uhlanga olukhulu.

32:12	Ndiyakucenga, makangatsho amaYiputa, ‘Wabakhokela bemka ngobulumko, ukuze ababulalele ezintabeni, abatshabalalise bangabikho emhlabeni.’ Mawuthotywe umsindo wakho uze uthomalaliswe ngenxa yobungendawo babantu bakho..
32:13	Khumbula uAbraham, uIsake, kunye noSirayeli, abakhonzi bakho, owafungayo kuye ngokwakhe, esithi: ‘Ndiya kuyandisa inzala yakho njengeenkwenkwezi zezulu. Kwaye lo mhlaba wonke, endithethe ngayo, ndiya kuyinika inzala yakho. Yaye uya kulidla ilifa ngonaphakade.’”

IVangeli Engcwele ngokukaYohane 5: 31-47

5:31	If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.
5:32	There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.
5:33	You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.
5:34	But I do not accept testimony from man. Kunoko, I say these things, ukuze nisindiswe.
5:35	He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.
5:36	But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.
5:37	And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.
5:38	And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.
5:39	Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me.
5:40	And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.
5:41	I do not accept glory from men.
5:42	But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
5:43	I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.
5:44	How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?
5:45	Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, UMoses, in whom you hope.
5:46	For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me.
5:47	But if you do not believe by his writings, how will you believe by my words?”
