⁸Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Munhu wakapfeka nguvo dzakapfava here? Tarirai, vanopfeka zvakapfava vari mudzimba dzemadzimambo.

⁸So gelian te dikhen? Iek manush huriardo andel shukar tsalia? Kodola kai phiraven shukar tsalia beshen andel khera amperatonge!

⁹Asi makange mabuda kunoonei? Muporofita here? Hongu, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunyange unopfuura kwazvo muporofita;

⁹So gelian te dikhen? Ek profeto? E, me phenav tumenge, "Ke wo si mai but sar profeto.

¹⁰nekuti uyu ndiye wakanyorwa pamusoro pake zvichinzi: Tarira, ini ndinotuma mutumwa wangu pamberi pechiso chako, uchagadzira nzira yako pamberi pako.

¹⁰Ke kodo si kai si ramome pa leste: 'Tradava murho podaitori mai anglal tutar te getol o drom angla tute."

¹¹Zvirokwazvo ndinoti kwamuri: Hakuna kumuka pakati pevakaberekwa nevakadzi mukuru kuna Johwani Mubhabhatidzi. Asi mudukusa muushe hwekumatenga mukuru kwaari.

¹¹Phenav tumenge o chachimos! "Mashkar manush kai arakhadile zhuvliatar chi vazdinesailo khonik mai baro sar o Iovano o baptisto. Numa kodo kai si mai xantsi ande amperetsia le rhaioski si mai baro lestar.

¹⁷'Jilabadiam tumenge abiaveske jilia, ai tume chi kheldian! 'Jilabadiam tristo jili, ai tume chi nekezhisardian!'

¹⁸Nekuti Johwani wakauya asingadyi kana kumwa, asi vanoti: Une dhimoni.

¹⁸O Iovano avilo, chi xalia ai chi pelia, ai won phende leske, 'dzilolo, bengailo!' O Shav le Manushesko avilo, xalas ai pelas, ai won phende,

²⁰Ipapo akatanga kutsiura maguta makange maitwa mabasa ake esimba mazhinji, nekuti haana kutendeuka, akati:

²⁰Antunchi O Jesus doshardias le foruria kai kerdias mirakluria ande lende, ke chi keisaile.

²¹Une nhamo, Korazini! Une nhamo, Bhetisaidha! Nekuti dai akaitwa muTire neSidhoni mabasa esimba akaitwa mamuri, vangadai vakatendeuka kare vakapfeka masaga nedota.
