“Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo,” kuchaza uJesu, “owayegqoka ezibubende nezelineni elihle, ezijabulisa imihla ngemihla etamasa. Kwakukhona futhi ompofu othile, nguLazaru igama lakhe, owayelahliwe ngasesangweni lakhe egcwele izilonda, enxanela ukusuthiswa ngemvuthuluka ewa etafuleni lesicebi; yebo, kweza nezinja, zamkhotha izilonda.”

Lesigaba sesicebi esiqhoshayo sibheka abantu abampofu, abavamile ngendelelo esobala, sibabiza ngokuthi ‛am ha·’aʹrets, noma abantu bomhlaba. Ngakho isinxibi esiwuLazaru simelela labantu abaholi benkolo ababancisha ukondliwa namalungelo afanele angokomoya. Ngakho njengoLazaru owayegcwele izilonda, abantu abavamile babukelwa phansi njengabagulayo ngokomoya futhi abafanelwe nje ukuhlala nezinja. Nokho, isigaba sikaLazaru silambele futhi somele ukondliwa okungokomoya futhi sisesangweni sifuna ukuthola noma yiziphi izimvuthuluka ezingenamsoco zokudla okungokomoya ezingase ziwe etafuleni lesicebi.
