²⁴Pamwepo baba wa mwana adakuwa acidandaula aciti, “Ndiri kukhulupirira. Ndithandizeni kusaya cikhulupiriro kwangu.”

²⁵Pomwe Jezu adawona kuti wanthu ali kuwanda pambutoyo, adawutsimula mwa ukali mzimu wakuipayo, adati:“Iwe mzimu wakutazisa kulewa-lewa na kubva, ndiri kukuuza kuti ucoke mwa mwanayu, ndipo leka kudzapita pomwe mwa iye.”

²⁶Mzimu ule udakuwa ucim'sukusa mwa mphambvu, ucicoka. Mwana ule adakhala ninga wafa, mpaka azinji akhambati, “Wafa.”

²⁷Ndipo Jezu adam'phata boko acimuimisa, iye adaima.

²⁸Pomwe Jezu adakapita mnyumba, wakupfundzira wace adamubvundza pambali, kuti, “Ife tidatazira tani kuucosa mzimu ule?”

²⁹Jezu adatawira kuti, “Mzimu wa mtundu umweyu ungacoke lini pakusaya kucita mpembo na kubzimana kudya.”
