⁸Ine ndisakupangani kuti Mulungu anaitonga miseru ya mbumba yace na mwansanga. Mphapo Ine Mwana wa Munthu ndingabwera, nkhulongera kuti ndinati ndigumane kukhulupira pantsi pano?”

⁹Kuna ale akhanyerezera okhene kuti mbakulungama, mbakhapwaza andzawo, Yezu aalongera nsanje uxu.

¹⁰“Amuna awiri aenda kaphembera mu Nyumba ya Mulungu. M'bodzi akhali nfarisi, m'bodzi akhali nyakukumbusa misonkho.”

¹¹Nfarisi alimira mbakhaphembera na mu ntima mwace tenepa: “Oh! Mulungu, ndisapereka takhuta kuli imwe, thangwi ine ndasiyana na anthu anango ninga awa: Mambava, a kuipa, na anyaupombo. Pontho ndasiyana na uyu nyakukumbusa misonkho.

¹²Ine ndisapimana ca kudya kawiri pa sumana, pontho pa pinthu pyanga pyonsene pina wina ine, ndisabulusa ca cikhumi.”

¹³Mbwenye nyakukumbusa misonkho akhala kutali, mbakhacimwana na kulang'ana kwene kudzulu, mbwenye akhamenya cifuwa cace mbakhalonga kuti: “Mulungu wanga, ndibverenimbo ntsisi, thangwi ndine nyakudawa!”

¹⁴Yezu amalisa na kulonga tenepa: “Ine ndisakupangani kuti uyu nyakukumbusa misonkho, ndiye basi adalekererwa na Mulungu. Ndzace nkhabe.Thangwi ule anapikuza anadza kacepeswa. Apo ule anapicepesa anadza kakuzwa.”
