Umkhuba WamaKristu Wokupha Izipho Iminikelo - izingubo, ukudla, noma imali enikezwa abantu abampofu
AmaVangeli Qaphelani ukuthi ningenzi izipho zenu phambi kwabantu ukuze nibonwe yibo; uma kungenjalo aninamvuzo kuYihlo osezulwini. Ngakho-ke nxa nenza izipho zenu, ningakhalisi icilongo phambi kwenu, njengalokhu kwenza abazenzisi emasinagogeni nasezitaladini, ukuze badunyiswe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Banomvuzo wabo. Kodwa nxa nenza izipho, isandla senu sokhohlo masingazi ukuthi esokunene senzani, ukuze izipho zenu zibe sekusithekeni; noYihlo obona ekusithekeni uyakunivuza obala. Mathewu 6:1-4 UJesu waphendula wathi: “ Umuntu othile wehla eJerusalema waya eJeriko, wawa phakathi kwezigebengu, zamhlubula izingubo, zamlimaza, zamuka, zamshiya zimshiya umndondo. Kwaba ngengozi kwehla umpristi othile ngaleyo ndlela; kwathi embona, wadlula ngakolunye uhlangothi. NomLevi, esekuleyo ndawo, weza wambona, wadlula ngakolunye uhlangothi. Kodwa umSamariya othile, ehamba, wafika lapho ayekhona; kwathi embona, wamzwela ububele, waya kuye, wabopha amanxeba akhe, ethela amafutha newayini, wamkhwelisa esilwaneni sakhe, wamyisa endlini yezihambi, wamnakekela. Ngakusasa esehamba, wakhipha odenariyu ababili, wabanika umninindlu, wathi kuye: ‘Mnakekele; futhi noma yini oyichithayo, ngiyakukubuyisela lapho ngibuya.’ Ucabanga ukuthi ubani kulaba abathathu owayengumakhelwane walowo owawela phakathi kwezigebengu na?’ Wathi: ‘Lowo owamenzela isihawu.’ UJesu wathi kuye: “ Hamba, wenze njalo nawe.” Luka 10:3037 Kodwa-ke yiphani izipho ezikhona kini, khona-ke konke kuhlanzekile kini. Luka 11:41 Thengisani lokho eninakho, niphe izipho; nizenzele izikhwama ezingagugiyo, ingcebo engapheli ezulwini, lapho kungasondeli khona isela, nalapho inundu ingonakalisi khona. Ngokuba lapho kukhona ingcebo yenu, lapho iyakuba khona nenhliziyo yenu. Luka 12:33-34

Kwathwalwa indoda ethile eyayiyisishosha kwasesiswini sikanina, ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla esangweni lethempeli elithiwa Elihle, ukuba icele izipho kwabangena ethempelini; ebona uPetru noJohane beza kungena ethempelini, wacela izipho.
