Eseshilo lokho wabakhombisa izandla nohlangothi lwakhe. Base bethokoza abafundi beyibona iNkosi iphila. Khona uJesu wabuye wathi kubo: ‘Uxolo alube kini. Njengalokhu uBaba engithumile, nami ngiyanithuma’. Kwathi ukuba asho njalo wabaphefumulela, wathi kubo: ‘Yamukelani isipho soMoya oCwebileyo. Labo eniyakubathethelela izono zabo bayakuba bethethelelwe, nalabo eniyakubabopha ngezono zabo bayakuba beboshiwe”.
Ngempela uJesu uvukile, yiPhasika namuhla. Usuku seluphelile, ubumnyama sebubemboze, yilapho-ke uJesu ebonakala kubafundi bakhe. Uzibonakalisa kubobonke labo abangabafundi bakhe.
