The Acts of the Apostles 4: 32-37

4:32Yaye inkitha yamakholwa yayintliziyo-nye, imphefumlo mnye. Kananjalo akukho namnye owathi yeyakhe zonke izinto abenazo, kodwa zonke izinto zaye ziqhelekile kubo.
4:33Kwaye ngamandla amakhulu, ABapostile babenikela ubungqina ngoVuko lukaYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu. Kwaye kukho ubabalo olukhulu kubo bonke.
4:34Kwaye kungekho namnye kubo owayeswele. Kuba bonke ababengabanini bamasimi okanye bezindlu, ukuthengisa ezi, babezisa imali yezinto ababezithengisa,
4:35kwaye babeyibeke phambi kweenyawo zabapostile. Emva koko yahlulelwa ngamnye kubo, kanye njengoko wayeswele.
4:36Ngoku uYosefu, abathi abapostile bathi nguBharnabhas (eliguqulelwa ngokuthi ‘unyana wentuthuzelo’), owayengumLevi womnombo waseKipro,
4:37ekubeni wayenomhlaba, wayithengisa, yaye wayizisa imali waza wayibeka ezinyaweni zabapostile.

UYohane 20: 19- 31

20:19Emva koko, when it was late on the same day, on the first of the Sabbaths, and the doors were closed where the disciples were gathered, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, wathi kubo: “Peace to you.”
20:20Akuba etshilo, he showed them his hands and side. And the disciples were gladdened when they saw the Lord.
20:21Ngoko ke, he said to them again: “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
20:22When he had said this, he breathed on them. Wathi kubo: “Receive the Holy Spirit.
20:23Those whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and those whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.”
20:24Now Thomas, omnye kwabalishumi elinababini, who is called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus arrived.
20:25Ngoko ke, the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I will see in his hands the mark of the nails and place my finger into the place of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
20:26And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus arrived, though the doors had been closed, and he stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.”
20:27Okulandelayo, he said to Thomas: “Look at my hands, and place your finger here; and bring your hand close, and place it at my side. And do not choose to be unbelieving, but faithful.”
20:28Thomas responded and said to him, “My Lord and my God.”
20:29Wathi uYesu kuye: “You have seen me, Thomas, so you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
20:30Jesus also accomplished many other signs in the sight of his disciples. These have not been written in this book.
20:31But these things have been written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, uNyana kaThixo, and so that, in believing, you may have life in his name.
