    • 11. (a) Kungani abaFarisi babuza uJesu ngokwelapha ngeSabatha? (b) Impendulo kaJesu yembulani?

      11 Phakathi nenkonzo yakhe yaseGalile entwasahlobo yangonyaka ka-31 C.E., uJesu wabona indoda eyayinesandla esishwabene esinagogeni. Njengoba kwakuyiSabatha, abaFarisi babuza uJesu: “Ingabe kungokomthetho ukwelapha ngesabatha?” Kunokuba nomuzwa wokuyikhathalela ngobuqotho le ndoda eyayihlupheka, babefisa ukuthola ibhaxa lokulahla uJesu, njengoba kwabonisa umbuzo wabo. Akumangalisi ukuthi uJesu wadabuka ngenxa yezinhliziyo zabo ezingazweli! Wabe esephonsa umbuzo ofanayo kubaFarisi ngokungagwegwesi: “Ingabe kungokomthetho ukwenza isenzo esihle . . . ngesabatha?” Lapho bengaphenduli, uJesu waphendula umbuzo wakhe ngokubabuza ukuthi babengeke yini bayihlenge imvu ewele emgodini ngeSabatha.b Ebonisa ngephuzu elinengqondo elingenakuphikiswa, uJesu wathi: “Yeka ukuthi umuntu ubaluleke kakhulu kangakanani kunemvu!” Waphetha: “Ngakho kungokomthetho [noma, kulungile] ukwenza into enhle ngesabatha.” Ubulungisa bukaNkulunkulu akufanele nanini bubekelwe imingcele amasiko abantu. Esecacise lelo phuzu, uJesu waqhubeka welapha isandla saleyo ndoda.—Mathewu 12:9-13; Marku 3:1-5.
