Nangingathi bakhambe baye emakhaya balambile, bazokuphelelwa mamandla endleleni, ngombana abanye babo babuya kude.” Abafundi bayambuza bathi: “Endaweni ekude kangaka nemizi, umuntu angasifumanaphi isikwa esaneleko esingasuthisa abantwaba?”​—Markosi 8:2-4.UJesu uyabaphendula uthi: “Ninezikwa ezingaki?” Abafundi bathi: “Ezilikhomba, neenhlambi ezincani ezimbalwa.” (Matewu 15:34) Nje-ke, uJesu uthi abantu abahlale phasi.
