Ngemva kwalokho uJesu ulandisa omunye umzekeliso. Ubeke watshengisa ukuthi abakhokheli benkolo bayehluleka ukukhonza uNkulunkulu, kodwa khathesi usefuna ukutshengisa ukuthi balezinhliziyo ezimbi. UJesu uthi: “Kulomuntu owahlanyela amagilebisi esivandeni sakhe wasesibiyela ngothango, wagebha igodi lokukhamela amagilebisi waphinda wakha lomphotshongo. Waqhatshisa lesosivande kubalimi, wasesiya elizweni elikhatshana. Ngesikhathi sokuvuna wathuma inceku kubalimi ukuthi iyethatha ezinye izithelo ezazisesivandeni. Kodwa bona bayithatha bayitshaya basebeyixotsha, yabuyela ilengise izandla. Waphinda wathumela enye inceku, yona bayitshaya ekhanda njalo bayeyisa. Wathuma enye futhi inceku, bayibulala. Wathuma lezinye ezinengi, ezinye zakhona bazitshaya, ezinye bazibulala.”​—UMakho 12:1-5.

Abantu abalalele uJesu bazawuzwisisa yini umzekeliso wakhe? Mhlawumbe bakhumbula amazwi ake akhulunywa ngu-Isaya, athi: “Isivini sikaJehova uSomandla yindlu ka-Israyeli; abantu bakoJuda bayinsimu eligugu kuye. Wayelindele okufaneleyo, kodwa wabona ukuchitheka kwegazi.” (U-Isaya 5:7) Umzekeliso kaJesu uhambelana lamazwi la. Umnikazi wesivande nguJehova njalo isivande samagilebisi yisizwe sama-Israyeli esibiyelwe savikelwa nguMthetho kaNkulunkulu. UJehova wathuma abaphrofethi ukuthi bafundise abantu bakhe lokuthi babancedise bathele izithelo ezinhle.

Abakhokheli laba sebezigwaze ngowabo ngoba baphakathi ‘kwabalimi’ ‘besivande’ sikaJehova esiyisizwe sako-Israyeli. UNkulunkulu ukhangelele ukuthi abalimi laba bathele izithelo ezigoqela ukuba lokholo eNdodaneni yakhe, uMesiya. UJesu ubathi nhlo abakhokheli benkolo laba abesesithi: “Kanti kalikaze liwubale umbhalo othi: ‘Ilitshe elaliwa ngabakhi selibe lilitshe elikhulu eliyisiqokoqela. Ilitshe lelo livela kuJehova futhi lihle kakhulu emehlweni ethu’?” (UMakho 12:10, 11) Uyabachasisela akutshoyo athi: “Yikho ngisithi kini, uMbuso kaNkulunkulu lizawuthathelwa uphiwe isizwe esithela izithelo zawo.”​—UMathewu 21:43.
