¹¹Akinjibu: “Mwenye, aapo‑pa munu anta mmoja.” Na Insa akimwambira: “Nomi novyo sukulamula hukumu. Uka vyako, usikore dambi tena.”

¹²Sambi, Insa akikola kusowera mara nyengine tena na wanu, akiwambira: “Omi ndi nuru ya mulumwengu‑mu. Mwenyé kunifulata omi aashubutu kwenenda nkisi, ila apata nuru yakumpa mainsha.”

¹³Kwa javyo, Mafarizeu wakimwambira: “Epa sambi, uwe kwankulavya ushahidi wako uwe mwanyewe, fala ushahidi wako‑wo siwo bora wakutumainiwa!”

¹⁴Insa akiwajibu, akamba: “Ingawa nilavya ushahidi wangu omi mwanyewe, fala ushahidi wangu wakweli. Kamana mahala kanilawire na mahala kanuka nukwijiwa.

¹⁵Umwe mulamula namuna ya kibinadamu. Omi sinlamula munu.

¹⁶Anta panilamula, kulamula kwangu ka shariya kamana omi silamula yeka yangu, nilamula pamoja na Baba anipereke omi.

¹⁷Anta nkati ya shariya yenu yandikiwa kuwa, ikiwa mashahidi wawiri wasema kinu kimoja noco, cawamba‑co cakweli.

¹⁸Omi nilavya ushahidi wangu omi mwanyewe. Baba anipereke‑yo alavya novyo ushahidi wangu omi.”
