29 Njengoko babephuma eYeriko, walandelwa ngabantu abaninzi. 30 Kwakukho amadoda amabini angaboniyo awayahleli ecaleni kwendlela. Athi akuva ukuba uYesu udlula ngendlela, akhwaza esithi: “Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide, senzele inceba!”+ 31 Kodwa aba bantu babelandela uYesu bawangxolisa besithi mawathi cwaka; kodwa akhwaza kakhulu, esithi: “Nkosi, Nyana kaDavide, senzele inceba!” 32 Ngoko uYesu wema, wawabiza waza wathi kuwo: “Nifuna ndinenzele ntoni?” 33 Athi: “Nkosi, sicela usivule amehlo.” 34 Enosizi, uYesu wawabamba emehlweni,+ abona ngoko nangoko, aza amlandela.

35 Wathi uYesu xa esondela eYeriko, kwabe kukho umntu ongaboniyo ehleli ecaleni kwendlela, ecela ebantwini.+ 36 Wathi akuva abantu abaninzi begqitha ngendlela, wabuza ukuba kwenzeka ntoni. 37 Bathi kuye: “Kudlula uYesu umNazarete!” 38 Ngoko wakhwaza esithi: “Yesu, Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba!” 39 Abantu ababehamba phambili bamngxolisa besithi makathule, kodwa wakhwaza kakhulu esithi: “Nyana kaDavide, ndenzele inceba!” 40 Ngoko uYesu wema, wathi makaziswe kuye. Wathi akusondela, uYesu wathi kuye: 41 “Ufuna ndikwenzele ntoni?” Wathi: “Nkosi, ndenze ndiphinde ndibone.” 42 UYesu wathi kuye: “Kulungile ke, bona; ukholo lwakho lukuphilisile.”+ 43 Ngoko nangoko waphinda wabona, waza wamlandela,+ ezukisa uThixo. Bathi besakuyibona le nto abantu, badumisa uThixo.+
