7Filipo anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Malipiro a miyezi isanu ndi itatu sangathe kugula buledi okwanira aliyense kuti adye!”
8Mmodzi wa ophunzira ake, Andreya, mʼbale wa Simoni Petro, anati, 9“Pano pali mnyamata amene ali ndi buledi musanu wabarele ndi tinsomba tiwiri, kodi zingakwane onsewa?”
10Yesu anati, “Awuzeni anthuwa akhale pansi.” Pamalo pamenepa panali udzu wambiri ndipo amuna amene anakhala pansi anali osachepera 5,000. 11Kenaka Yesu anatenga bulediyo, atayamika anagawira iwo amene anakhala pansi, chimodzimodzinso nsombazo monga momwe iwo anafunira.
12Ndipo atakhuta, Iye anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Tolani zotsala kuti pasawonongeke kanthu.” 13Choncho iwo anasonkhanitsa makombo nadzaza madengu khumi ndi awiri.
14Pambuyo pake anthu ataona chizindikiro chodabwitsa chimene Yesu anachita, iwo anati, “Zoonadi uyu ndi Mneneri wakudzayo mʼdziko la pansi.” 15Yesu atadziwa kuti iwo amafuna kubwera kudzamuwumiriza kuti akhale mfumu, anachoka napita ku phiri pa yekha.

16Pofika madzulo, ophunzira ake anatsikira ku nyanja, 17kumene iwo analowa mʼbwato ndi kuyamba kuwoloka nyanja kupita ku Kaperenawo. Tsopano kunali kutada ndipo Yesu anali asanabwerere kwa iwo. 18Mphepo yamphamvu inawomba ndipo nyanja inalusa. 19Iwo atayenda makilomita asanu kapena asanu ndi limodzi, anaona Yesu akuyandikira bwatolo, akuyenda pa madzi; ndipo anachita mantha. 20Koma Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ndine, musaope.” 21Ndipo iwo analola kumutenga mʼbwatomo, nthawi yomweyo bwatolo linafika ku gombe la nyanja kumene ankapita.

Yesu Chakudya Chamoyo
25Atamupeza mbali ina ya nyanjayo, iwo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Rabi, mwafika nthawi yanji kuno?”
26Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti mukundifuna, osati chifukwa munaona zizindikiro zodabwitsa koma chifukwa munadya chakudya ndi kukhuta. 27Gwirani ntchito, osati chifukwa cha chakudya chimene chimawonongeka koma chifukwa cha chakudya chimene sichiwonongeka mpaka ku moyo wosatha, chimene Mwana wa Munthu adzakupatsani. Mulungu Atate anamusindikiza chizindikiro chomuvomereza.”
28Kenaka anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi tichite chiyani kuti tigwire ntchito za Mulungu?”
29Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ntchito ya Mulungu ndi iyi: Kukhulupirira Iye amene anamutuma.”
30Choncho iwo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi mudzatipatsa chizindikiro chodabwitsa chotani kuti ife tichione ndi kukhulupirira Inu? Kodi mudzachita chiyani? 31Makolo athu akale anadya mana mʼchipululu; monga zalembedwa: ‘anawapatsa buledi wochokera kumwamba kuti adye.’ ”
32Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti si Mose amene ankakupatsani chakudya chochokera kumwamba, koma ndi Atate anga amene ankakupatsani chakudya chenicheni chochokera kumwamba. 33Pakuti chakudya cha Mulungu ndi Iye amene wabwera kuchokera kumwamba ndi kupereka moyo ku dziko la pansi.”
34Iwo anati, “Ambuye, kuyambira tsopano muzitipatsa buledi ameneyu.”
35Kenaka Yesu ananenetsa kuti, “Ine ndine chakudya chamoyo. Iye amene abwera kwa Ine sadzamva njala, ndipo iye amene akhulupirira Ine sadzamva ludzu. 36Monga ndakuwuzani kale, ngakhale kuti mwandiona simukukhulupirirabe. 37Zonse zimene Atate andipatsa zidzabwera kwa Ine, ndipo aliyense amene adzabwera kwa Ine sindidzamutaya kunja. 38Pakuti Ine ndinatsika kuchokera kumwamba osati kudzachita chifuniro changa koma cha Iye amene anandituma Ine. 39Ndipo chifuniro cha Iye amene anandituma Ine nʼchakuti ndisatayepo ngakhale ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa onse amene Iye wandipatsa, koma kuti ndidzawaukitse kwa akufa pa tsiku lomaliza. 40Pakuti chifuniro cha Atate anga ndi chakuti aliyense amene aona Mwanayo namukhulupirira akhale ndi moyo wosatha, ndipo Ine ndidzamuukitsa kwa akufa pa tsiku lomaliza.”
41Pamenepo Ayuda anayamba kungʼungʼudza chifukwa anati, “Ine ndine chakudya chotsika kuchokera kumwamba.” 42Iwo anati, “Kodi uyu si Yesu, mwana wa Yosefe, amene abambo ake ndi amayi ake timawadziwa? Nanga Iyeyu akunena bwanji kuti, ‘Ine ndinatsika kuchokera kumwamba?’ ”
43Yesu anayankha kuti, “Musangʼungʼudze pakati panu.” 44Palibe munthu amene angabwere kwa Ine, ngati Atate amene anandituma Ine samubweretsa. Ndipo Ine ndidzamuukitsa kwa akufa pa tsiku lomaliza. 45Aneneri analemba kuti, “Onse adzaphunzitsidwa ndi Mulungu! Aliyense amene amamva Atate ndi kuphunzira kwa Iye amabwera kwa Ine. 46Palibe amene anaona Atate koma yekhayo amene achokera kwa Mulungu; yekhayo ndiye anaona Atate. 47Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Iye amene akhulupirira ali nawo moyo wosatha. 48Ine ndine chakudya chamoyo. 49Makolo anu akale anadya mana mʼchipululu, komabe anafa. 50Koma pano pali chakudya chochokera kumwamba, chimene munthu akadya sangafe. 51Ine ndine chakudya chamoyo chochokera kumwamba. Ngati munthu adya chakudya ichi, adzakhala ndi moyo nthawi zonse. Chakudya chimenechi ndi thupi langa, limene Ine ndidzalipereka kuti anthu pa dziko lapansi akhale ndi moyo.”
52Kenaka Ayuda anayamba kutsutsana kwambiri pakati pawo kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu angathe kutipatsa bwanji thupi lake kuti tidye?”
53Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti ngati simungadye thupi la Mwana wa Munthu ndi kumwa magazi ake, simungakhale ndi moyo mwa inu. 54Aliyense amene adya thupi langa ndi kumwa magazi anga ali ndi moyo wosatha ndipo Ine ndidzamuukitsa kwa akufa pa tsiku lomaliza. 55Pakuti thupi langa ndi chakudya chenicheni ndipo magazi anga ndi chakumwa chenicheni. 56Aliyense amene adya thupi langa ndi kumwa magazi anga amakhala mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa iye. 57Monga Atate amoyo anandituma Ine, ndipo ndili ndi moyo chifukwa cha Atatewo, chomwechonso amene adya thupi langa adzakhala ndi moyo chifukwa cha Ine. 58Ichi ndiye chakudya chimene chinatsika kuchokera kumwamba. Makolo athu akale anadya mana ndi kufa, koma iye amene adya chakudya ichi, adzakhala ndi moyo nthawi yonse.” 59Iye ankanena izi pamene ankaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge mu Kaperenawo.
Ophunzira Ambiri Aleka Kutsata Yesu
60Pakumva izi ambiri a ophunzira ake anati, “Ichi ndi chiphunzitso chovuta. Angachilandire ndani?”
61Pozindikira kuti ophunzira ake ankangʼungʼudza, Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi izi zikukukhumudwitsani? 62Nanga mutaona Mwana wa Munthu akukwera kupita kumene Iye anali poyamba! 63Mzimu Woyera apereka moyo, thupi silipindula kanthu. Mawu amene ndayankhula kwa inu ndiwo mzimu ndipo ndi moyo. 64Komabe alipo ena mwa inu amene sakukhulupirira.” Pakuti Yesu ankadziwa kuyambira pachiyambi ena mwa iwo amene samakhulupirira ndi amene adzamupereka Iye. 65Iye anapitiriza kunena kuti, “Ichi ndi chifukwa chake ndinakuwuzani kuti palibe wina angabwere kwa Ine pokhapokha Atate atamuthandiza.”
66Kuyambira nthawi imeneyi ophunzira ake ambiri anabwerera ndipo sanamutsatenso Iye.
67Yesu anafunsa khumi ndi awiriwo kuti, “Kodi inu mukufuna kuchokanso?”
68Simoni Petro anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Ambuye, ife tidzapita kwa yani? Inu muli ndi mawu amoyo wosatha. 69Ife tikhulupirira ndi kudziwa kuti Inu ndinu Woyerayo wa Mulungu.”
70Kenaka Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi Ine sindinakusankheni inu khumi ndi awiri? Komabe mmodzi wa inu ndi mdierekezi.” 71(Iye amanena Yudasi, mwana wa Simoni Isikarioti amene ngakhale anali mmodzi mwa khumi ndi awiriwo, anali woti adzamupereka).
