17 Ngemva kobana uJesu akhulume lokhu, waqala ezulwini, wathi: “Baba, isikhathi sesifikile. Phazimulisa indodanakho ukwenzela bona nayo ikuphazimulise+ 2 njengombana uyinikele amandla phezu kwabo boke abantu+ ukuthi ibanikele ukuphila okungapheliko+ boke labo oyinikele bona.+ 3 Labo abazokufumana ukuphila okungapheliko+ kufuze bazi wena,* okunguwe wedwa uZimu weqiniso+ naloyo omthumileko, uJesu Krestu.+ 4 Ngikuphazimulisile ephasini,+ ngokuqeda umsebenzi onginikele wona bona ngiwenze.+ 5 Nje-ke Baba, ngiphazimulisa eqadi kwakho ngephazimulo egade nginayo eqadi kwakho ngaphambi kobana kube nephasi.+
6 “Ngilibonakalisile* igama lakho ebantwini onginikele bona ephasini.+ Bekungebakho, wabanikela mina begodu balilalele ilizwi lakho. 7 Nje-ke sebayazi bonyana zoke izinto onginikele zona zivela kuwe 8 ngombana ngibanikelile amezwi owanginikela wona,+ bawamukele begodu sebazi kuhle ukuthi ngize njengomjamelakho,+ bayakholwa nokuthi ungithumile.+ 9 Ngiyababawela; angibaweli iphasi kodwana ngibawela labo onginikele bona ngombana ngebakho 10 nazo zoke izinto zami ngezakho nezakho ngezami+ begodu ngiphazinyulisiwe hlangana nabo.
11 “Angisekho ephasini kodwana bona basephasini,+ mina ngiza kuwe. Baba oCwengileko, bavikele+ ngebanga legama lakho, onginikele lona, bona babe munye njengombana nathi simunye.+ 12 Nangisesenabo, bengihlala ngibavikela+ ngebanga legama lakho, onginikele lona; ngibavikele, akakho namunye wabo olahlekileko+ ngaphandle kwendodana yokutjhatjalaliswa+ bona imitlolo izaliseke.+ 13 Kodwana nje ngiza kuwe begodu ngitjho izintwezi ephasini bona ithabo lami lipheleliswe kibo.+ 14 Ngibanikele ilizwi lakho kodwana iphasi libahloyile ngombana abasiyingcenye yephasi+ njengombana nami ngingasiyingcenye yephasi.
15 “Angibawi ukuthi ubasuse ephasini kodwana ngibawa ubavikele ngebanga lomumbi.+ 16 Abasiyingcenye yephasi+ njengombana nami ngingasiyingcenye yephasi.+ 17 Bacwengise ngeqiniso;+ ilizwi lakho liliqiniso.+ 18 Njengombana ungithumele ephasini nami ngibathumele ephasini.+ 19 Ngiyazicwengisa ngebanga labo bona nabo bacwengiswe ngeqiniso.
20 “Angibaweli laba kwaphela kodwana ngibawela nalabo abazokukholwa kimi ngemva kokuzwa ilizwi labo, 21 khona bazakuba munye boke+ njengombana nawe Baba umunye nami, nami ngimunye nawe+ ukuthi nabo babe munye nathi bona iphasi likholwe ukuthi ungithumile. 22 Ngibanikele iphazimulo onginikele yona bona babe munye njengombana nathi simunye.+ 23 Mina ngimunye nabo nawe umunye nami ukuthi bapheleliswe ebunyeni, khona iphasi lizakwazi ukuthi ungithumile nokuthi uyabathanda njengombana nami ungithandile. 24 Baba, ngifuna ukuthi labo onginikele bona babe nami lapha ngikhona+ bonyana babone iphazimulo onginikele yona ngombana ungithande ngaphambi kokuthonyiswa kwephasi.+ 25 Baba olungileko, kwamambala iphasi alikakwazi+ kodwana mina ngiyakwazi+ nalaba bayazi ukuthi ungithumile. 26 Ngibazisile igama lakho begodu ngizolenza laziwe+ ukwenzela bona ithando ongithande ngalo libe kibo nokuthi ngimunye nabo.”+
