Abafundi Balinde EJerusalema

ABANTU abalaphaba bafundi bakaJesu. Bamlalela bahlala eJerusalema. Kuthe boke basalindile, yoke indlu yazala itjhada. Kwazwakala njengomoya omkhulu ovunguzako. Bathoma babona amalimi anjengomlillo ehlela phezu kwehloko yomfundi nomfundi. Uyalibona ilangabu emfundini omunye nomunye? Kutjho ukuthini koke lokhu?

Simangaliso lesi! UJesu ubuyele ezulwini kuYise, begodu uthululela umoya kaZimu ocwengekileko phezu kwabafundi bakhe. Kodwana uyazi bona umoya lo wababangela bonyana benzeni? Boke bathoma ukukhuluma ngeenlimi ezihlukileko.

Abantu abanengi eJerusalema bezwa itjhada elizwakala njengomoya omkhulu, beza bazokubona bonyana kwenzekani. Abanye abantu bebavela kezinye iintjhaba bazele ukuzokugidinga iPentakoste yama-Israyeli. Iimvakatjhi bezirarekile! Zezwa abafundi bakhuluma ngeenlimi zabo nangezinto ezihle uZimu azenzileko.

Iimvakatjhi zathi: ‘Boke abantwaba babuya eGalile, kodwana kwenziwa yini bona bakwazi ukukhuluma ngeenlimi ezihlukileko zezinye iinarha lapho sibuya khona?’

UPitrosi wasikima bonyana abahlathululele. UPitrosi waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe watjela abantu bonyana uJesu wabulawa njani nokobanyana uJehova wamvusa kwabafileko. UPitrosi wathi: ‘Nje, uJesu usezulwini usesandleni sokudla sakaZimu, begodu uthulule umoya ocwengekileko njengombana awuthembisa. Kungalokho nibonile nezwa ngemmangaliswezi.’

UPitrosi nakatjho iintwezi, abantu abanengi bezwa ubuhlungu ngalokho okwenzeka kuJesu. Babuza uPitrosi bathi: ‘Khuyini esingayenza?’ UPitrosi wabaphendula wathi: ‘Kufuneka nitjhuguluke epilweni yenu nibhabhadiswe.’ Khona mhlokho kwabhabhadiswa abantu abapheze babeyi-3 000 baba balandeli bakaJesu.
