Uri chinhu chinogumbura kwandiri, nekuti haufungi zvinofungwa naMwari, asi zvinofungwa nevanhu.”+
24 Jesu akabva ati kuvadzidzi vake: “Kana munhu achida kunditevera, ngaazvirambe, atore danda rake rekutambudzirwa,* arambe achinditevera.+ 25 Nekuti munhu wese anoda kuponesa upenyu hwake* acharasikirwa nahwo, asi munhu wese anorasikirwa neupenyu hwake* nekuda kwangu achahuwana.+ 26 Ko zvinobatsirei kuti munhu awane nyika yese orasikirwa neupenyu hwake?*+ Munhu angapa chii kuti arege kurasikirwa neupenyu hwake?*+ 27 Nekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu achauya ari mukubwinya kwaBaba vake aine ngirozi dzake, uye achabva aripa mumwe nemumwe maererano nezviito zvake.+ 28 Chokwadi ndinoti kwamuri pane vamwe vamire pano vasingazomboraviri rufu vasati vaona Mwanakomana wemunhu achiuya muUmambo hwake.”+
