“Indlela LiPhasika Lelifana Ngayo NeSikhumbuto, Nendlela Lelehluke Ngayo”
(Matewu 26:17-20) Ngelilanga lekucala lemkhosi wesinkhwa lesite imvubelo, bafundzi beta kuJesu batsi: “Ufuna sikulungisele kuphi indzawo yekudla liPhasika?” 18 Watsi: “Hambani niye edolobheni futsi nitawukhandza umuntfu lotsite, nifike nitsi kuye: ‘UMfundzisi utsi: “Sikhatsi sami lesifanele sesisondzele; liPhasika ngitalidlela endlini yakho ngikanye nebafundzi bami.”’” 19 Ngako labafundzi benta njengobe Jesu abatjelile futsi balungiselela liPhasika. 20 Ngesikhatsi sekuhlwile, abehleti etafuleni nebafundzi bakhe labalishumi nakubili.

LiPhasika
Tintfo lebetisetjentiswa ngeliPhasika bekulizinyane lemvu lelosiwe (kute ematsambo alo lebekephulwa) (1); sinkhwa lesite imvubelo (2) kanye nemibhidvo lebabako (3). (Eks 12:5, 8; Nu 9:11) Ngekusho kwencwadzi i-Mishnah, lemibhidvo lebabako kungenteka beyifaka ekhatsi i-lettuce, i-chicory, i-pepperwort, i-endive ne-dandelion futsi kungenteka beyikhumbuta ema-Israyeli imphilo lebuhlungu yekugcilatwa eGibhithe. Jesu wasebentisa sinkhwa lesite imvubelo kute afanekisele umtimba wakhe lobewute sono. (Mat 26:26) Umphostoli Pawula wabita Jesu ngekutsi “liPhasika letfu.” (1Ko 5:7) Ngelikhulu lekucala, kwengetwa neliwayini (4) nakudliwa liPhasika. Jesu wasebentisa leliwayini kute afanekisele ingati yakhe, lebeyitawucitfwa ibe yinhlawulo.—Mat 26:27, 28.
(Matewu 26:26) Njengobe bebachubeka badla, Jesu watsatsa sinkhwa, wabonga, wasihlephula wase usinika bafundzi bakhe, watsi: “Tsatsani nidle. Loku kusho umtimba wami.”

kusho: Ligama lesiGriki lelitsi e·stinʹ lelisetjentisiwe lapha ngalokuvamile linemcondvo “wekumelela nekufanekisela.” Baphostoli bakucondza lobekushiwo nguJesu ngoba batibonela bona matfupha umtimba waJesu lote sono lobowusembikwabo ngalelolanga futsi nesinkhwa lesite imvubelo bese sibekwe embikwabo kutsi basidle. Ngako Jesu abengasho kutsi abadle umtimba wakhe mbamba. Kubalulekile nekunaka kutsi ligama lelifanako lesiGriki lisetjentisiwe kuMat 12:7, futsi emahumusho lamanyenti eliBhayibheli alihumusha ngekutsi “kusho.”
(Matewu 26:27, 28) Wase utsatsa nendzebe, wabonga, wabanika yona, watsi: “Natsani kuyo nonkhe, 28 ngobe isho ‘ingati yami yesivumelwane,’ letawucitfwa ngenca yalabanyenti kute kutsetselelwe tono.

ingati yesivumelwane: Sivumelwane lesisha lesisemkhatsini waJehova nemaKhristu lagcotjiwe sentiwa sasebenta ngenhlawulo yaJesu. (Heb 8:10) Jesu wasebentisa emavi lafanako nalasetjentiswa nguMosi ngesikhatsi angumlamuleli kanye nembhali weMtsetfo wesivumelwano saNkulunkulu nema-Israyeli entsabeni iSinayi. (Eks 24:8; Heb 9:19-21) Njengoba ingati yetinkunzi netimbuti beyicinisekisa sivumelwane seMtsetfo emkhatsini waNkulunkulu nesive sema-Israyeli, nengati yaJesu icinisekisa sivumelwano lesisha emkhatsini waJehova na-Israyeli wakhe. Lesivumelwane sacala kusebenta ngeliPhentekhoste la-33 C.E.—Heb 9:14, 15.

(Matewu 26:17) Ngelilanga lekucala lemkhosi wesinkhwa lesite imvubelo, bafundzi beta kuJesu batsi: “Ufuna sikulungisele kuphi indzawo yekudla liPhasika?”
Liphuzu lelicwaningiwe laMat 26:17 leliku-nwtsty
Ngelilanga lekucala lemkhosi wesinkhwa lesite imvubelo: Umkhosi wesinkhwa lesite imvubelo bewucala ngaNisan 15 ngemuva kweliPhasika (Nisan 14) futsi bewutsatsa emalanga lasikhombisa. (Hlola Sandzisanchazo B15) Noma kunjalo, ngesikhatsi saJesu liPhasika belihlobene nalomkhosi kangangekutsi lamalanga langu 8, lafaka ekhatsi Nisan 14, ngalesinye sikhatsi bekabitwa ngekutsi ‘nguMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesite Imvubelo.’ (Luk 22:1) Lana, lamavi latsi “Ngelilanga lekucala” angasho kutsi ‘Ngelilanga langembi kwekutsi kufike.’ (Catsanisa naJoh 1:15, 30 lapho khona ligama lesiGriki lelitsi “kucala” [proʹtos] lingasho kutsi “ngisengekho” ngemcondvo lofanako nalona lotsi “mine ngisengekho [proʹtos].”) Ngako, ngelisiko lemaGriki emdzabu kanye nelemaJuda, bafundzi bebavumelekile kutsi bebangabuta Jesu imibuto ngaNisan 13. Kwatsi emini yangaNisan 13, bafundzi balungiselela liPhasika lelagujwa “nasekuhwalele” ngemuva kwekushona kwelilanga, sekucala Nisan 14.—Mak 14:16, 17.
(Matewu 26:39) Wahamba libangana, wafike waguca wathantaza, watsi: “Babe, lendzebe ayendlule kimi nangabe kungenteka. Kodvwa akwenteke intsandvo yakho, hhayi intsandvo yami.”
Liphuzu lelicwaningiwe laMat 26:39 leliku-nwtsty
lendzebe ayendlule: EBhayibhelini, ligama lelitsi ‘indzebe’ livame kufanekisela intsandvo yaNkulunkulu nobe ‘sabelo’ umuntfu lanikwe sona. Jesu wakhatsateka ngekutsi kufa kwakhe abekwe licala lemanga lekuhlambalata Jehova nekudukisa bantfu bekutawuhlambalata Nkulunkulu, ngako wathantaza wacela kutsi “lendzebe” yendlule kuye.

(Matewu 26:1-19) Kwatsi Jesu nasacedzile kukhuluma lamavi, watsi kubafundzi bakhe: 2 “Niyati kutsi sekusele emalanga lamabili kube liPhasika, neNdvodzana yemuntfu itawunikelwa iphindze ibetselwe.” 3 Baphristi labakhulu nemadvodza lamadzala bahlangana ndzawonye ebaleni lemphristi lophakeme lobekutsiwa nguKhayafase, 4 bakha lisu lekubamba Jesu ngebucili bese bayambulala. 5 Kodvwa bebasolo batsi: “Akungabi ngesikhatsi semkhosi, kute bantfu bangasusi siphitsiphitsi.” 6 Ngesikhatsi Jesu aseBhetani, endlini yaSimoni labenebulephelo, 7 kweta umfati lobekaphetse sigujana lesasakhiwe ngelitje lelimhlophe, sinemafutsa lanemakha labedule kakhulu, wawatsela enhloko yaJesu njengobe abehleti etafuleni. 8 Nabakubona loku, bafundzi batfukutsela base batsi: “Kudlajatiswelani kangaka? 9 Ngobe lamafutsa abengatsengiswa ngemali lenyenti bese kuphiwa labeswele.” 10 Jesu wakubona loku, watsi kubo: “Nimhluphelani kangaka lomfati? Wente sento lesihle kimi. 11 Bantfu labeswele nihlale ninabo, kodvwa mine ngeke ngihlale nginani. 12 Njengobe lomfati abengigcobisa ngalamafutsa lanemakha, abekwentela kulungiselela kungcwatjwa kwami. 13 Ngicinisile ngitsi kini: Nobe ngukuphi lapho letindzaba letimnandzi tishunyayelwa khona emhlabeni wonkhe, loku lokwentiwe ngulomfati kutawuhlale kukhunjulwa.” 14 Ngemuva kwaloko, Judasi Skariyothi, lomunye webafundzi labalishumi nakubili, wahamba waya kubaphristi labakhulu, 15 wafike watsi: “Yini lenitanginika yona nangingamtsengisa kini?” Batsi batamnika tinhlavu telisiliva letingemashumi lamatsatfu. 16 Ngako kusukela ngaleso sikhatsi abesolo afuna litfuba lelikahle lekutsengisa Jesu. 17 Ngelilanga lekucala lemkhosi wesinkhwa lesite imvubelo, bafundzi beta kuJesu batsi: “Ufuna sikulungisele kuphi indzawo yekudla liPhasika?” 18 Watsi: “Hambani niye edolobheni futsi nitawukhandza umuntfu lotsite, nifike nitsi kuye: ‘UMfundzisi utsi: “Sikhatsi sami lesifanele sesisondzele; liPhasika ngitalidlela endlini yakho ngikanye nebafundzi bami.”’” 19 Ngako labafundzi benta njengobe Jesu abatjelile futsi balungiselela liPhasika.

“Hambani Nente Bantfu Babe Bafundzi”
4 Jesu uneligunya ebandleni, futsi kusukela nga-1914 ube neligunya lekubusa eMbusweni waNkulunkulu. (Kholose 1:13; Sembulo 11:15) Uyingilosi lenkhulu futsi ngenca yalokho nguye locondzisa libutfo lasezulwini lelakhiwa tingilosi letitigidzigidzi. (1 Thesalonika 4:16; 1 Phetro 3:22; Sembulo 19:14-16) Babe wakhe umnikete ligunya lekucedza “bonkhe bohulumende, emagunya, nemandla” laphikisa timiso tekulunga. (1 Khorinte 15:24-26; Efesu 1:20-23) Ligunya laJesu aligcini kulabaphilako kuphela. Utawuphindze “ehlulele labaphilako nalabafile” futsi Nkulunkulu umnike nemandla ekuvusa labalele ekufeni. (Imisebenti 10:42; Johane 5:26-28) Ecinisweni, umyalo lokhokhwe nguMehluleli lonikwe ligunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni kufanelwe utsatfwe njengalobaluleke kakhulu. Ngako, siyawuhlonipha umyalo waKhristu wekutsi ‘sihambe siyokwenta bantfu bafundzi’ futsi siwenta ngekutitsandzela.

bantfu bato tonkhe tive: Nalihunyushwe njengobe linjalo, leligama litsi “tonkhe tive,” kodvwa kulelivesi, lamavi abhekiselwe kubantfu bato tonkhe tive. Sabito sesiGriki lesitsi “ni” site bulili, kungako kuleligama lelitsi nibabhabhatise, nanobe libhekisela kubantfu besilisa, lisho lonkhe luhlobo lwebantfu, hhayi “tive”. Lomyalo wekutsi siye ‘kubantfu bato tonkhe tive’ bewumusha. Ngembikwekutsi Jesu acalise umsebenti wakhe wekushumayela, imiBhalo ikhombisa kutsi bantfu baletinye tive bebemukelekile ka-Israyeli, kuphela nangabe batokhonta Jehova. (1Kh 8:41-43) Nobe kunjalo, ngalomyalo Jesu wayala bafundzi bakhe kutsi bente lomsebenti wekushumayela ngisho nakubantfu labebangasiwo emaJuda emdzabu, lokugcizelela kutsi lomsebenti wekwenta bafundzi bekufanelwe wentiwe emhlabeni wonkhe.—Mat 10:1, 5-7; Sem 7:9.

UMCEBO LOSEVINI LANKULUNKULU | MAKHO 3-4
“Kwelapha Ngelilanga LeliSabatha”
(Makho 3:1, 2) Jesu waphindze wangena esinagogeni, futsi kwakunendvodza leyayinesandla lesikhubatekile. 2 BaFarisi bebamgadzile bafuna kubona kutsi utayiphilisa yini lendvodza ngeliSabatha khona batembeka licala.

Yini Lebeyivunyelwe Ngekwemtsetfo Ngelilanga LeliSabatha?
Ngalelinye lilanga leliSabatha, Jesu wavakashela lisinagoge lokungenteka kutsi beliseGalile. Wafike watfola indvodza leyayinesandla lesikhubatekile. (Luke 6:6) Tati temtsetfo nebaFarisi bebanake konkhe lokwentiwa nguJesu. Leni? Tinhloso tabo tavela kulombuto labawubuta Jesu, lotsi: “Kuvumelekile yini kwelapha ngeliSabatha?”—Matewu 12:10.
Baholi benkholo yemaJuda bebakholelwa kutsi kwelapha ngeliSabatha bekuvumeleke kuphela nangabe kuphila kusengotini. Sibonelo saloko kutsi ngeliSabatha, bekungakavumeleki kutsi umuntfu lowenyele nome lowephukile anakekelwe ngoba kuphila kwakhe bekungekho engotini. Ngako, letati temtsetfo nebaFarisi bebangabuti Jesu lombuto ngoba bakhatsalela lendvodza lebeyiva buhlungu. Bebamane nje bafuna taba tekumangalela Jesu.
(Mark 3:3, 4) Jesu watsi kulendvodza: “Sukuma ute lapha ngembili.” 4 Wase utsi kulabaFarisi: “Kuvumelekile yini kwenta intfo lenhle nobe lembi ngeliSabatha, kusindzisa umphefumulo nobe kuwubulala?” Kodvwa abazange bamphendvule.

Yini Lebeyivunyelwe Ngekwemtsetfo Ngelilanga LeliSabatha?
Nome kunjalo, Jesu bekayati imicabango yabo lengakalungi. Bekati kutsi umbono wabo macondzana nemisebenti lobekungakafaneli yentiwe ngeliSabatha bewulukhuni futsi ungakasekelwa emiBhalweni. (Eksodusi 20:8-10) Loko Jesu besekakwati ngoba besebake bayigceka imisebenti yakhe lemihle. Ngako, kute Jesu abafundzise sifundvo ngeliSabatha, watsi kulendvodza leyayinesandla lesikhubatekile: “Sukuma ute lapha ngembili.”—Makho 3:3.
(Makho 3:5) Wababuka acansukile, futsi weva buhlungu ngenca yebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tabo, wase utsi kulendvodza: “Yelula sandla sakho.” Yaselula, sase siyelapheka.

acansukile, futsi weva buhlungu: NguMakho kuphela lowabhala indlela Jesu lativa ngayo ngenca yebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tebaholi benkholo mayelana neliSabatha. (Mat 12:13; Luk 6:10) Kungenteka nguPhetro, njengoba abeyindvodza lebeyitsintseka kakhulu, lowachaza kahle lendlela Jesu lativa ngayo.—Bukela i-video letsi “Setfulo SaMakho.”
Kufunisisa Umcebo EVini LaNkulunkulu
(Makho 3:29) Kodvwa nobe ngubani lohlambalata umoya longcwele ngeke atsetselelwe nanini, kodvwa utawuba nelicala laphakadze.”

lohlambalata umoya longcwele: Kuhlambalata kusho kunyundzela nome inkhulumo ledzelela Nkulunkulu, nome kukhuluma kabi ngetintfo letingcwele. Njengoba kunguNkulunkulu loniketa umoya longcwele, kuwuphikisa ngemabomu noma kuphika kutsi uyasebenta kufana nekuhlambalata Nkulunkulu. Njengoba sibonile kuMat 12:24, 28 naMak 3:22, baholi benkholo bemaJuda bawubona umoya waNkulunkulu usebenta kuJesu nakenta timangaliso, kodvwa batsi lamandla abevela kuSathane Develi.
nelicala laphakadze: Kubonakala shengatsi kubhekisela esonweni lesentiwa ngemabomu lesinemphumela waphakadze; lokusho kutsi kute inhlawulo lengasisusa leso sono.—Hlola liphuzu lelicwaningiwe lelitsi lohlambalata umoya longcwele lelikulelivesi kanye neliphuzu lelicwaningiwe laMat 12:31 lelikhuluma ngalendzaba.
(Makho 4:26-29) Wachubeka watsi: “UMbuso waNkulunkulu unjengalapho umuntfu asakata inhlanyelo emhlabatsini, 27 bese uyalala ebusuku aphindze avuke ekuseni, lenhlanyelo iyamila futsi ikhule, kodvwa usuke angati kutsi kwenteka njani loko. 28 Umhlabatsi utivetela wona titselo, kucale kube likhaba, bese kuyashakata, ekugcineni kube ngematimba. 29 Nasekuvutsiwe, kutsatfwa lisikela kuyewuvunwa, ngobe sikhatsi sekuvuna sisuke sesifikile.”
‘Uyayicondzisisa’ Yini Inchazelo?
6 Singafundzani kulomfanekiso? Kwekucala, kufanele sivume kutsi ngeke sikhone kuyilawula indlela umuntfu lesimfundzela liBhayibheli latfutfuka ngayo. Kutfobeka kutasisita kutsi sikubalekele kumcindzetela nobe kumphocelela kutsi abhajatiswe. Sitawenta konkhe lokusemandleni kute simsite futsi simsekele, kodvwa ngekutfobeka sitawuvuma kutsi ekugcineni nguye lokufanele atentele sincumo sekutinikela. Kutinikela kufanele kuvele enhlitiyweni lechutjwa lutsandvo ngaNkulunkulu. Nangabe kungasinjalo, kutinikela kwetfu ngeke kwemukeleke kuJehova.—Hla. 51:12; 54:6; 110:3.
7 Kwesibili, kusicondza sifundvo lesisitfola kulomfanekiso kutasisita kutsi singadvumateki nangabe ekucaleni singayiboni imiphumela yekushumayela kwetfu. Kufanele sibeketele. (Jak. 5:7, 8) Ngisho nobe lenhlanyelo ingatseli titselo, nangabe sente konkhe lokusemandleni kute sisite lomfundzi, sitawukhumbula kutsi loku akusho kutsi asikawenti kahle umsebenti wetfu. Jehova uvumela inhlanyelo yeliciniso kutsi ikhule enhlitiyweni letfobekile lekulungele kwenta lushintjo. (Mat. 13:23) Ngako imphumelelo yetfu emsebentini wekushumayela akukafaneli siyikale ngemiphumela lesiyitfolako. KuJehova, imphumelelo yetfu emsebentini wekushumayela ayiyi ngekutsi basilalele yini labo lebesibafundzisa. Esikhundleni saloko, uyayijabulela imetamo yetfu lemihle ngisho nobe singatfola imiphumela lenjani.—Fundza Lukha 10:17-20; 1 Khorinte 3:8.
8 Kwesitsatfu, asiluboni ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi lushintjo lolwenteka kumuntfu. Nasi sibonelo: Lenye indvodza nemfati wayo lebebafundzelwa sitfunywa selivangeli baya kuso basichazela kutsi sebafuna kuba bamemeteli labangakabhajatiswa. Lesitfunywa selivangeli sabakhumbuta kutsi kuze babe bamemeteli bekutawudzingeka bayekele kubhema. Samangala nabasho kutsi sekuphele tinyanga letimbalwa bayekele kubhema. Kungani bakuyekela? Bese bati kutsi Jehova uyababona nababhema nekutsi uyakutondza kutentisa. Ngako loku kwabakhutsata kutsi batsatse sincumo sekutsi babheme embikwalesitfunywa selivangeli nobe bakuyekele nje sanhlobo. Lutsandvo lebebanalo ngaJehova lwabasita kutsi bente sincumo lesikahle. Buhlobo babo naNkulunkulu besebutfutfukile, nanobe lesitfunywa selivangeli besingalwati lushintjo lebelwentekile.
Kufundvwa KweliBhayibheli
(Makho 3:1-19a) Jesu waphindze wangena esinagogeni, futsi kwakunendvodza leyayinesandla lesikhubatekile. 2 BaFarisi bebamgadzile bafuna kubona kutsi utayiphilisa yini lendvodza ngeliSabatha khona batembeka licala. 3 Jesu watsi kulendvodza: “Sukuma ute lapha ngembili.” 4 Wase utsi kulabaFarisi: “Kuvumelekile yini kwenta intfo lenhle nobe lembi ngeliSabatha, kusindzisa umphefumulo nobe kuwubulala?” Kodvwa abazange bamphendvule. 5 Wababuka acansukile, futsi weva buhlungu ngenca yebulukhuni betinhlitiyo tabo, wase utsi kulendvodza: “Yelula sandla sakho.” Yaselula, sase siyelapheka. 6 BaFarisi baphuma masinyane bacebisana nebalandzeli baHerodi, bakha lisu lekubulala Jesu. 7 Jesu nebafundzi bakhe besuka baya ngaselwandle, futsi sicumbi lesikhulu sebantfu lesasisuka eGalile naseJudiya samlandzela. 8 Ngesikhatsi beva ngato tonkhe letintfo Jesu labetenta, bantfu labanyenti lebebasuka eJerusalema, e-Idumiya, nalebebasuka ngesheya kweJordane, eThire naseSidoni beta kuye. 9 Watjela bafundzi bakhe kutsi bamlungisele sikebhe labetasisebentisa lapho lesicumbi sebantfu sesimminyetela. 10 Welapha bantfu labanyenti, kangangekutsi bonkhe labebagula kakhulu besebaminyetelene eceleni kwakhe kute bamtsintse. 11 Ngisho nalabo lebebanemadimoni bebatsi nabambona baguce embikwakhe batsi: “Wena uyiNdvodzana yaNkulunkulu.” 12 Kodvwa esikhatsini lesinyenti abebadvonsa ngendlebe kutsi bangatjeli muntfu ngaye. 13 Wakhuphukela entsabeni, wabita labo labefuna kubatfuma, futsi beta kuye. 14 Wakha licembu lalabalishumi nakubili, wababita ngekutsi baphostoli, futsi laba ngibo labebatawuhamba naye. Abetawuphindze abatfume kutsi bayewushumayela, 15 abanike nemandla ekukhipha emadimoni. 16 Emabito alaba labalishumi nakubili kwakunguSimoni, lambita ngekutsi nguPhetro, 17 Jakobe umsa waZebedi nemnakabo longuJohane (lababita ngekutsi boBhowanegese, lokusho kutsi “Emadvodzana Ekudvuma Kwelitulu”), 18 Andreya, Filiphu, Bhatalomewu, Matewu, Tomase, Jakobe umsa wa-Alfiyose, Thadiyosi, Simoni labekhutsele, 19 kanye naJudasi Skariyothi, lowagcine amtsengisile.

UMCEBO LOSEVINI LANKULUNKULU | MAKHO 5-6
“Jesu Unemandla Ekuvusa Tihlobo Tetfu Letifile”
(Makho 5:38) Ngako befika endlini yalendvodza, wabona siphitsiphitsi nebantfu lebebakhala futsi balila kakhulu.
(Makho 5:39-41) Nasangenile, Jesu watsi kubo: “Sani lesiphitsiphitsi, futsi nikhalelani? Lomntfwana akakafi, kodvwa ulele.” 40 Nabeva loku bamhleka bulima. Kodvwa ngemuva kwekubakhiphela ngephandle, watsatsa uyise nenina walomntfwana nalabafundzi lebekete nabo, wangena lapho kwakunalomntfwana khona. 41 Wafike wabamba sandla salomntfwana, watsi kuye: “Thalitha khumi,” lokusho kutsi: “Ntfombatana, ngitsi kuwe: ‘Vuka!’”

akakafi, kodvwa ulele: LiBhayibheli lihle litsi kufa kuyefana nekulala (Hla 13:3; Joh 11:11-14; Imi 7:60; 1Ko 7:39; 15:51; 1Te 4:13) Jesu bekatayivusa lentfombatana iphindze iphile. Ngako kungenteka washo loku ngoba abetawukhombisa kutsi bantfu bangavuswa ekufeni ngendlela lefana nalabangavuswa ngayo ebutfongweni. NguJehova “lovusa bantfu labafile, nalokhuluma ngetintfo letisengekho kube shengatsi tikhona,” futsi nguye lowaniketa Jesu emandla ekuvusa lentfombatana.—Rom 4:17.
(Makho 5:42) Ngekushesha, lentfombatana yavuka yacala kuhamba. (Beyineminyaka lelishumi nakubili budzala.) Ngaso leso sikhatsi bonkhe lebebalapho bajabula kakhulu.

Intfombatana Yavuswa Ekufeni!
Jesu bekavamise kutjela bantfu lakabelaphile kutsi bangatjeli labanye ngako futsi washo lokufanako kulabatali balentfombatana. Nome kunjalo, labatali bebajabule kakhulu futsi lendzaba bayisakata “kuso sonkhe sifundza.” (Matewu 9:26) Wena bewungeke yini ubalingise kube bekusihlobo sakho lebesivusiwe? Lentfombatana ingumuntfu wesibili lokukhulunywa ngaye eBhayibhelini kutsi wavuswa nguJesu.
Kufunisisa Umcebo EVini LaNkulunkulu
(Makho 5:19, 20) Kodvwa Jesu akazange avume, kunaloko watsi: “Hamba uye ekhaya kubakini, ubabikele ngako konkhe Jehova lakwentele kona kanye nemusa lakubonise wona.” 20 Ngako lendvodza yahamba, yakhuluma eDekhapholi ngato tonkhe tintfo Jesu labeyentele tona, futsi bonkhe bantfu bamangala.

ubabikele: Ngisho nome Jesu abevamise kwala kutsi bantfu batjele labanye ngetimangaliso takhe (Mak 1:44; 3:12; 7:36), watfuma lendvodza kutsi itjele tihlobo tayo kutsi yini lebeyentekile. Kungenteka Jesu wayitfuma kutsi yente loko ngoba bantfu balendzawo bebamcele kutsi ahambe. Lokubabikela bekutawuphindze kuvimbe kusakateka kwemibono leliphutsa mayelana netingulube lebetigcumukele elwandle.
(Makho 6:11) Kunobe nguyiphi indzawo labanganemukeli kuyo, nobe labanganilaleli khona, naniphuma lapho nibotsintsitsa lutfuli etinyaweni tenu khona kutewuba bufakazi kubo.”
Liphuzu lelicwaningiwe laMak 6:11 leliku-nwtsty
nibotsintsitsa lutfuli etinyaweni tenu: Lesento besitawukhombisa kutsi bafundzi baJesu bebangeke babe nelicala ngesehlulelo lebesitawukhishwa nguNkulunkulu. Lamavi aphindze atfolakale kuMat 10:14 naLuk 9:5. Makho naLukha bengeta emavi latsi kutewuba bufakazi kubo [noma, “ngalokumelene nabo.”] Pawula naBhanabasi bakwenta loku nabase-Antiyokhi lesePhisidiya (Imi 13:51), futsi ngesikhatsi Pawula akwenta ngekutsi atsintsitse tingubo takhe eKhorinte, wabese utsi: “Ingati yenu ayibe setikwenu. Mine ngimsulwa.” (Imi 18:6) Kungenteka bafundzi baJesu bebasetayele lesento ngoba emaJuda lebekatibona alunge kakhulu bewalutsintsitsa lutfuli lwasetindzaweni tebetive nawafika endzaweni yakaJuda ngoba bewatsi lubenta bangcole ngekwemtsetfo. Nome kunjalo, Jesu yena bekasho lokwehlukile nakaniketa bafundzi bakhe lomyalo.
Kufundvwa KweliBhayibheli
(Mak 6:1-13) Wesuka lapho waya endzaweni yakubo, futsi bafundzi bakhe bahamba naye. 2 Kwatsi ngeliSabatha wacala kufundzisa esinagogeni, futsi labanyenti labamuva bamangala batsi: “Lomuntfu utitsatsaphi tonkhe letintfo? Kwentiwa yini kutsi abe nekuhlakanipha lokungaka, nemandla ekwenta letimangaliso? 3 Lona akusuye yini umbati, indvodzana yaMariya futsi akasuye yini umnakabo Jakobe, Josefa, Judasi naSimoni? Bodzadzewabo abekho yini lapha?” Ngako bamcansukela. 4 Kodvwa Jesu wachubeka watsi kubo: “Umphrofethi uyemukelwa kuto tonkhe tindzawo ngaphandle kwasendzaweni yakubo, etihlotjeni takhe, kanye nasekhaya kubo.” 5 Ngako-ke kute simangaliso lasenta lapho ngaphandle nje kwekuphilisa labambalwa lebebagula. 6 Kwammangalisa kungakholwa kwabo. Ngako wesuka wayewufundzisa kuwo onkhe emadolobhana akuleyo ndzawo. 7 Wabita bafundzi bakhe labalishumi nakubili, wabatfuma ngababili, wabanika nemandla ekukhipha emadimoni. 8 Wabatjela nekutsi bangaphatsi lutfo lwendlela ngaphandle kweludvondvolo—bangaphatsi sinkhwa, sikhwama sekudla, ngisho nemali etipatjini tabo, 9 kodvwa watsi bafake tincabule futsi bangagcoki tingubo letimbili. 10 Wachubeka watsi: “Kunobe ngumuphi umuti leningena kuwo, hlalani lapho nite nihambe. 11 Kunobe nguyiphi indzawo labanganemukeli kuyo, nobe labanganilaleli khona, naniphuma lapho nibotsintsitsa lutfuli etinyaweni tenu khona kutewuba bufakazi kubo.” 12 Ngako besuka futsi bashumayela kute bantfu baphendvuke, 13 bakhipha emadimoni lamanyenti, bagcobisa bantfu labanyenti labagulako ngemafutsa futsi babelapha.
