Kuchiritsidwa kwa Mwana Wogwidwa ndi Chiwanda

³⁷ Mmawa mwake, akutsika ku phiri, anthu ambiri anakumana naye. ³⁸ Munthu wina mʼgulu la anthulo anayitana kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndikupemphani kuti muone mwana wangayu, pakuti ndi mmodzi yekhayu. ³⁹ Chiwanda chikamugwira amafuwula mwadzidzidzi; chimamugwedeza kolimba mpaka kutuluka thovu kukamwa. Sichimusiya ndipo chikumuwononga. ⁴⁰ Ine ndinapempha ophunzira anu kuti achitulutse, koma alephera.”

⁴¹ Yesu anayankha kuti, “Haa! Anthu osakhulupirira ndi mʼbado wokhota. Kodi Ine ndidzakhala nanu nthawi yayitali yotani ndi kukupirirani? Bweretsa mwana wako kuno.”

⁴² Ngakhale pamene mnyamata amabwera kwa Yesu, chiwandacho chinamugwetsa pansi ndi kumugwedeza. Koma Yesu anadzudzula mzimu woyipawo nachiritsa mwa mnyamatayo ndi kumuperekanso kwa abambo ake. ⁴³ Ndipo iwo onse anadabwa ndi ukulu wa Mulungu.

Pakuti amene ndi wamngʼono pakati panu, ndiye amene ali wamkulu koposa.”

⁴⁹ Yohane anati, “Ambuye, ife tinaona munthu akutulutsa ziwanda mʼdzina lanu ndipo tinayesa kumuletsa, chifukwa iyeyo si mmodzi wa ife.”

⁵⁰ Yesu anati, “Wosamuletsa, pakuti amene satsutsana nanu ali mbali yanu.”
