1. 1NDEUJesu wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Izinto ezenza abantu benze isono zizakuba khona kodwa maye kulowomuntu ezizafika ngaye.BSBBSB: Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
2. 2NDEBekungaba ngcono kuye ukuphoselwa olwandle kubotshelwe imbokodo entanyeni yakhe kulokuba yena akhubekise omunye walaba abancinyane ukuthi enze isono.BSBBSB: It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3. 3NDENgakho lina ziqapheleni. Nxa umfowenu esenza isono, mkhuze, kuthi nxa ezisola, mthethelele.BSBBSB: Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4. 4NDENxa engakonela kasikhombisa ngosuku lunye, ebuye kuwe kasikhombisa esithi, ‘Ngiyaxolisa,’ mthethelele.”BSBBSB: Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5. 5NDEAbapostoli bathi eNkosini, “Yengeza ukholo lwethu!”BSBBSB: The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
6. 6NDEWaphendula wathi, “Nxa lilokukholwa loba kukuncinyane njengentanga yemastadi, lingathi kulesisihlahla somabhulosi, ‘Quphuka lapha uyowela olwandle,’ sizalilalela.BSBBSB: And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
7. 7NDEKesithi omunye wenu ulesisebenzi, silima loba siselusa izimvu. Kambe kungenzeka yini ukuthi nxa isisebenzi singena sivela emasimini athi kuso, ‘Kulungile, hlala phansi udle’?BSBBSB: Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8. 8NDEKambe kayikuqala athi, ‘Lungisa ukudla kwami, ulungele ukungiphakela ngize ngidle, nginathe; ngemva kwalokho lawe usungadla, unathe’?BSBBSB: Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?
9. 9NDEAngasibonga na isisebenzi ngoba senze lokho ebesikuyaliwe na?BSBBSB: Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?
10. 10NDEKunjalo lani nxa selenzile konke okuthiwe likwenze kufanele lithi, ‘Siyizinceku ezingafanelanga; sesenze kuphela lokho okungumlandu wethu.’ ”BSBBSB: So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”
11. 11NDENgalesosikhathi eseqonde ukuya eJerusalema, uJesu wahamba ngendlela esemngceleni phakathi kweSamariya leGalile.BSBBSB: While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.
12. 12NDEWathi efika komunye umuzi, wahlangabezwa ngamadoda alitshumi ayelobulephero. Ema bucwala,BSBBSB: As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance
13. 13NDEamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu athi, “Jesu, Nkosi, sihawukele!”BSBBSB: and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14. 14NDEWathi ewabona wathi kuwo, “Hambani liyoziveza kubaphristi.” Athi esahamba ahlambuluka.BSBBSB: When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.
15. 15NDEOmunye wawo wathi ngokubona ukuthi usesilile waphenduka, edumisa uNkulunkulu ngelizwi elikhulu.BSBBSB: When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16. 16NDEWazilahla phansi ezinyaweni zikaJesu wambonga, yena wayengumSamariya.BSBBSB: He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.
17. 17NDEUJesu wabuza wathi, “Kanti kabahlanjululwanga bonke abalitshumi yini? Bangaphi abanye abayisificamunwemunye na?BSBBSB: “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?
18. 18NDEUbengekho yini obengabuya azoletha udumo kuNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwalo owezizweni na?”BSBBSB: Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”
19. 19NDEWasesithi kuye, “Phakama uhambe; ukukholwa kwakho kukusilisile.”BSBBSB: Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”
20. 20NDENgesinye isikhathi uJesu ebuzwe ngabaFarisi ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu wawuzafika nini, waphendula wathi, “Umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawuzi ngendlela yokucubungula kwenu ukuma kwezinto,BSBBSB: When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
21. 21NDEnjalo abantu kabayikutsho bathi, ‘Nanku lapha,’ loba bathi, ‘Nanko laphaya,’ ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu uphakathi kwenu.”BSBBSB: Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
22. 22NDEWasesithi kubafundi bakhe, “Siyeza isikhathi lapho elizaloyisa khona ukubona olunye lwezinsuku zeNdodana yoMuntu kodwa kalisoze lilubone.BSBBSB: Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23. 23NDEAbantu bazalitshela bathi, ‘Nanguyana laphaya!’ kumbe, ‘Nangu lapha!’ Lingathatheki ngabo.BSBBSB: People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.
24. 24NDENgoba ngosuku lwayo iNdodana yoMuntu izakuba njengombane ophazima ukhanyise umkhathi kusukela ngapha kusiyafika ngale.BSBBSB: For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
25. 25NDEKodwa kumele iqale ihlupheke ezintweni ezinengi njalo ilahlwe yilesisizukulwane.BSBBSB: But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26. 26NDENjengoba kwakunjalo ensukwini zikaNowa, kuzakuba njalo ensukwini zeNdodana yoMuntu.BSBBSB: Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
27. 27NDEAbantu babesidla, benatha, bethathana njalo besendiselana kwaze kwafika usuku uNowa angena ngalo emkhunjini. Kwasekufika uzamcolo wababhubhisa bonke.BSBBSB: People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28. 28NDEKwakunjalo futhi ngezinsuku zikaLothi. Abantu babesidla, benatha, njalo bethenga, bethengisa, behlanyela njalo besakha.BSBBSB: It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29. 29NDEKodwa ngosuku uLothi aphuma ngalo eSodoma, umlilo lesalufa kwathululeka kuvela ezulwini kwababhubhisa bonke.BSBBSB: But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30. 30NDEKuzakuba njalo langosuku lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ifika.BSBBSB: It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31. 31NDENgalolosuku kakho ozakuthi ephezulu ophahleni lwendlu yakhe, impahla zakhe ziphakathi, ehle ukuyazithatha. Njalo kakho osensimini ozakuyathatha loba yini.BSBBSB: On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.
32. 32NDEKhumbulani umkaLothi!BSBBSB: Remember Lot’s wife!
33. 33NDELowo ozama ukulondoloza impilo yakhe izamlahlekela, lalowo olahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe uzayilondoloza.BSBBSB: Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34. 34NDENgiyalitshela, kuzakuthi ngalobobusuku abantu bebabili embhedeni omunye uzathathwa, kodwa omunye atshiywe.BSBBSB: I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.
35. 35NDEAbesifazane ababili bazabe bechola elitsheni ndawonye; omunye uzathathwa omunye atshiywe. [BSBBSB: Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”
36. 36NDEAbabili bazabe besensimini; oyedwa uzathathwa omunye atshiywe.]”BSBBSB: Not in the BSB
    Not in the earliest manuscripts
37. 37NDEBabuza bathi, “Ngaphi, Nkosi?” Waphendula wathi, “Lapho okulesidumbu khona, kulapho okuqoqana khona amanqe.”BSBBSB: “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
