Yesu analowa mʼbwato nawoloka, ndipo anabwera ku mudzi wa kwawo. 
Amuna ena anabwera ndi munthu wakufa ziwalo kwa Iye atamugoneka pa mphasa. Yesu ataona chikhulupiriro chawo anati kwa wakufa ziwaloyo, “Limba mtima mwana wanga, machimo ako akhululukidwa.” 
Pamenepo aphunzitsi ena amalamulo anaganiza mu mtima mwawo kuti, “Munthu uyu akuchitira Mulungu mwano.” 
Ndipo podziwa maganizo awo Yesu anati, “Bwanji mukuganiza zoyipa mʼmitima mwanu? 
Chapafupi ndi chiti kunena kuti, ‘Machimo ako akhululukidwa’ kapena kunena kuti, ‘Imirira ndipo yenda?’ 
Tsono kuti mudziwe kuti Mwana wa Munthu ali ndi ulamuliro pa dziko wokhululuka machimo, pamenepo anati kwa wakufa ziwaloyo, ‘Imirira, tenga mphasa yako kazipita kwanu.’ ” 
Ndipo munthuyo anayimirira napita kwawo. 
Gulu la anthu litaona izi, linadzazidwa ndi mantha ndipo linalemekeza Mulungu amene anapereka ulamuliro kwa anthu. 
Ndipo Yesu atachoka kumeneko, anaona munthu wina dzina lake Mateyu, atakhala mʼnyumba ya msonkho. Anati kwa iye, “Nditsate Ine.” Ndipo iye ananyamuka namutsata. 
Ndipo pamene Iye ankadya mʼnyumba, onani, amisonkho ndi ochimwa ambiri anabwera nakhala pansi pamodzi ndi Yesu ndi ophunzira ake. 
Ndipo Afarisi poona izi, anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani Aphunzitsi anu akudya pamodzi ndi amisonkho ndi ochimwa?” 
Yesu atamva, anati, “Munthu wamoyo safuna singʼanga ayi, koma wodwala. 
Koma pitani kaphunzireni tanthauzo la mawu awa: ‘Ndimafuna chifundo osati nsembe ayi.’ Pakuti sindinabwere kudzayitana olungama koma ochimwa.” 
Ndipo ophunzira a Yohane anabwera namufunsa Iye kuti, “Bwanji ife ndi Afarisi timasala kudya koma ophunzira anu sasala kudya?” 
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi oyitanidwa ku ukwati angamalire bwanji pamene mkwati ali naye pamodzi? Nthawi idzafika pamene mkwatiyo adzachotsedwa ndi pamene adzasala kudya.” 
Ndipo palibe munthu amasokerera chigamba chatsopano pa chovala chakale chifukwa chigambacho chidzachoka ndipo chibowocho chidzakula kuposa kale. 
Kapena sathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba akale; akatero, matumba akalewo adzaphulika ndipo vinyoyo adzatayika, matumbawo adzawonongeka; satero ayi. Amathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba atsopanonso ndipo zonse zimasungika. 
Pamene ankanena zimenezi, mkulu wa sunagoge anabwera namugwadira Iye nati, “Mwana wanga wamkazi wamwalira posachedwapa koma tiyeni mukasanjike dzanja lanu pa iye ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo.” 
Yesu ndi ophunzira ake ananyamuka napita naye pamodzi. 
Panali mayi wina amene ankadwala nthenda yotaya magazi kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri ndipo anadza mʼmbuyo mwake nakhudza mkanjo wake. 
Iyeyo anati mwa iye yekha, “Nditangokhudza kasonga ka mkanjo wake, ine ndidzachiritsidwa.” 
Ndipo Yesu anatembenuka namuona mayiyo nati, “Limbani mtima mayi iwe, chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa.” Nthawi yomweyo mayiyo anachiritsidwa. 
Yesu atalowa mʼnyumba ya mkulu wa sunagoge ndi kuona oyimba zitoliro ndi gulu la anthu ochita phokoso, 
anati, “Tulukani, mtsikanayu sanafe koma ali mtulo.” Koma anamuseka Iye. 
Atangowatulutsa anthuwo, analowa mʼnyumba ndipo anagwira dzanja la mtsikanayo ndipo anauka. 
Mbiriyi inamveka mʼdera lonse. 
Yesu atapitirira ulendo wake, amuna awiri osaona anamutsatira Iye, akufuwula kuti, “Tichitireni chifundo, Mwana wa Davide!” 
Atalowa mʼnyumba, amuna awiri osaonawo anabwera kwa Iye ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukhulupirira kuti ndikhoza kukuchiritsani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Inde Ambuye.” 
Pomwepo anakhudza maso awo nati, “Zichitike kwa inu monga mwachikhulupiriro chanu.” 
Ndipo anayamba kuona. Yesu anawachenjeza kwambiri nati, “Onani, wina aliyense asadziwe za zimenezi.” 
Koma iwo anatuluka mʼnyumbamo nafalitsa za Iye mʼchigawo chonse. 
Pamene iwo ankatuluka kunja, anthu anabwera kwa Iye ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi mzimu wosayankhula. 
Ndipo atatulutsa mzimuwo, munthuyo anayankhula. Gulu la anthuwo linadabwa ndipo linati, “Zinthu zotere sizinaonekepo mu Israeli.” 
Koma Afarisi anati, “Akutulutsa mizimu yoyipa ndi mphamvu ya mkulu wa ziwanda.” 
Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda yonse ndi mʼmidzi, kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa nthenda zawo zonse ndi zofowoka za mʼmatupi mwawo. 
Ataona maguluwo, anagwidwa ndi chisoni chifukwa anali ozunzika ndi osowa chithandizo ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa. 
Pamenepo anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Zokolola ndi zambiri koma antchito ndi ochepa. 
Nʼchifukwa chake, pemphani Ambuye mwini zokolola kuti atumize antchito ku munda wake.”
