Kwakukhona eKesariya indoda ethile egama layo linguKorneliyu , eyinduna yekhulu yebutho elithiwa elase-Italiya;

Bathi: UKorneliyu induna yekhulu , indoda elungileyo nemesabayo uNkulunkulu, efakazelwa kahle esizweni sonke sabaJuda , uyaliwe yingelosi engcwele ukuba akubizele endlini yakhe, ezwe amazwi kuwe.

Kepha besamelula ngemichilo , uPawulu wathi enduneni yekhulu eyayimi khona: Kuvunyelwe yini ukushaya umuntu ongumRoma engalahlwanga yicala na?

Induna yekhulu ikuzwile yaya enduneni yenkulungwane, yabika yat hi: Usuzakwenzani na, ngokuba lowo muntu ungumRoma?

UPawulu wayesebiza enye i nduna yekhulu, wathi: Yisa le nsizwa enduneni yenkulungwane, ngokuba inento ezakuyibika kuyo.

wayala induna yekhulu ukuba agcinwe , kepha abe nenkululeko , kunganqatshelwa muntu wakubo ukumkhonza. UPawulu ushumayela kuFeliksi ngoKristu

Kwathi sekunqunyiwe ukuba siye e -Italiya ngomkhumbi, banikela uPawulu nezinye iziboshwa ezithile enduneni yekhulu , igama layo linguJuliyu , eyebutho likaKesari.

Kepha induna yekhulu yethemba umshayel i womkhumbi nomniniwo kakhulu kunalokho okwakhulunywa nguPawulu.

kepha induna yekhulu ithanda ukusindisa uPawulu yawavimbela enhlosweni yawo, yayala ukuba labo abakwazi ukuhlamba baziphonse kuqala emanzini, bafike emhlabathini,

Induna yekhulu ibone okwenzekileyo yamdumisa uNkulunkulu , yathi: Nempela lowo muntu ube ngolungileyo.

Inceku yenduna yekhulu ethile ethandekayo kuyo yayigula, isizakufa.

UJesu wayesehamba nawo . Kepha engasekude nendlu , induna yekhulu yathumela kuye abahlobo , bathi kuye : Nkosi, ungazihluphi, ngokuba angifanele ukuba ungene phansi kophahla lwami.

Kepha induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana naye imbona efa ngokunjalo , yathi: Nempela lo muntu ube yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

Kepha uPilatu wamangala ngokuthi ngabe usefile , wabiza induna yekhulu, wabuza kuyo ukuthi sekukade efile na?

Esezwile enduneni yekhulu wamnika uJosefa isidumbu.

Kepha induna yekhulu nababe nayo belinda uJesu sebebona ukuzamazama nalokho okwenzekileyo besaba kakhulu , bathi: Nempela lo ube yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

UJesu wayesethi enduneni yekhulu: Hamba, makube kuwe njengokukholwa kwakho. Umfana wasinda ngaso leso sikhathi. Umkhwekazi kaPetru nabanye abagulayo bayaphulukiswa (Mark. 1:23; Luk. 4:31)

Kwathi esangena eKapernawume , kweza kuye induna yekhulu , yamncenga yathi:

Induna yekhulu yaphendula yathi : Nkosi, angifanele ukuba ungene phansi kophahla lwami, kepha yisho izwi nje, khona umfana wami uyakusinda.

Ake nibuyisele namhlanje amasimu abo , nezivini zabo, neminqumo yabo, nezindlu zabo , nenxenye yekhulu yemali , neyamabele, neyewayini, neyamafutha enikubiza kubo kube yinzalo.
