Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nanhlanu wokubusa kukaTiberiyu Kesari , uPontiyu Pilatu engumbusi waseJudiya , uHerode engumtetrarki waseGalile , uFiliphu umfowabo engumtetrarki wezwe lase -Itureya nelaseTrakhoniti, uLisaniya engumtetrarki wase-Abilene,

Kalokhu akuyinina enangithuma lapha, kepha uNkulunkulu; ungibeke uyise kaFaro, nenkosi yendlu yakhe yonke, nombusi wezwe lonke laseGibithe.

Abantu wabayisa emizini , ebasusa komunye umncele wezwe laseGibithe kwaze kwaba komunye umncele walo.

UJehova wakhuluma kuMose naku -Aroni entabeni yaseHori ngasemkhawulweni wezwe lakwa-Edomi, wathi:

Abantu bambona, bamtusa unkulunkulu wabo, ngokuba bathi: Unkulunkulu wethu unikele esandleni sethu isitha sethu nomchithi wezwe lakithi obulele abaningi phakathi kwethu.

Base bekhuluma enkosini yase -Asiriya, bethi: Abezizwe obasusileyo wabahlalisa emizini yaseSamariya abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe ; ngalokho uthumile izingonyama phakathi kwabo ; bheka, ziyababulala, ngokuba abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yayisiyala ngokuthi : Yisani khona omunye wabapristi enibathumbile lapho , ahambe ahlale khona , abafundise umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

Nanku umkhawulo wezwe : ohlangothini lwasenyakatho , kusukela eLwandle Olukhulu ngendlela yaseHetiloni kuze kube sekuyeni eSedadi,

Uyakuba kubo umnikelo womnikelo wezwe , into engcwelengcwele , ngasemkhawulweni wamaLevi.

Bamqaphela, bathuma izinhloli ezizishaya abalungileyo ukuba bamhile ngezwi lakhe, baze bamkhaphele emandleni nasegunyeni lombusi wezwe.

Base bethi kowesifazane : Asisakholwa ngokulanda kwakho nje , ngokuba sesizizwele ngokwethu, siyazi ukuthi lo ngempela unguMsindisi wezwe.

Angisayikukhuluma okuningi nani , ngokuba uyeza umbusi wezwe , kepha akanalutho kimi,

owayekhona kumbusi wezwe uSergiyu Pawulu , umuntu onengqondo enhle. Yena wabiza oBarnaba noSawulu, wafuna ukuzwa izwi likaNkulunkulu.

Kepha thina asamukelanga umoya wezwe kodwa umoya ovela kuNkulunkulu, ukuze sikwazi esikuphiwe nguNkulunkulu ngomusa,

Ngokuba ngithi kungathi uNkulunkulu usimisile thina baphostoli sibe ngabokugcina, sibe njengabanqunyelwe ukufa; ngokuba senziwe umbukwane wezwe nowezingelosi nowabantu.

Ziphingi, anazi yini ukuthi ukuthanda izwe kungubutha kuNkulunkulu na ? Ngakho lowo othanda ukuba ngumhlobo wezwe , umi eyisitha sikaNkulunkulu.

Thina sibonile , siyafakaza ukuthi uYise wayithu ma iNdodana ibe nguMsindisi wezwe.

Ingelosi yesikhombisa yayisibetha ; kwase kuba khona amazwi amakhulu ezulwini athi : Umbuso wezwe usungoweNkosi yethu nokaKristu wayo ; iyakubusa kuze kube phakade naphakade.
