Ani naani anodya nyama yangu nokunwa ropa rangu anogara mandiri, uye ini maari. 
Nokuti nyama yangu ndicho chokudya chaicho. 
Ani naani anodya nyama yangu uye anonwa ropa rangu anogara mandiri, neni maari. 
Sezvo Baba vapenyu vakandituma uye ndichirarama nokuda kwaBaba, saizvozvo uyo anodya pandiri achararama nokuda kwangu.

Muchaita sei kana mukaona Mwanakomana woMunhu achikwira achienda kwaaimbova kare! 
Mweya ndiye anopa upenyu, nyama haina chainobatsira. Mashoko andataura kwamuri ndiwo mweya, uye ane upenyu. 
Asi vamwe venyu varipo vasingatendi.” Nokuti Jesu akanga achiziva kubva pakutanga kuti ndivanaani pakati pavo vakanga vasingatendi uye kuti ndiani aizomupandukira.

Akanga achireva Judhasi, mwanakomana waSimoni Iskarioti, uyo, kunyange akanga ari mumwe wavane gumi navaviri, aizomupandukira.
