Ụbọchị isii tupu e mee Mmemme Ngabiga, Jisọs gara Betani bụ obodo Lazarọs, onye ahụ ọ mere ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie. Nʼebe ahụ, ha siiri Jisọs nri, ọ bụkwa Mata na-eje ozi isi nri ahụ, Lazarọs bụ otu onye nʼime ndị sooro ya nọdụ na nri ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, Meri weere mmanụ otite dị ọkara lita nke ezigbo naad, mmanụ isi ụtọ dị oke ọnụahịa, ọ wụkwasara ya Jisọs nʼụkwụ, jirikwa agịrị isi ya hichaa ụkwụ ya. Nke a mere ka ụlọ ahụ jupụta nʼisi ụtọ nke mmanụ otite ahụ.
Ma Judas Iskarịọt, otu nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, onye ahụ ga-arara ya nye, kwuru, “Gịnị mere na-ereghị mmanụ otite a narị denarị atọ, were ego ya nye ndị ogbenye?” O kwughị nke a nʼihi na ihe banyere ndị ogbenye na-emetụ ya nʼobi kama nʼihi na ọ bụ onye ohi; dị ka onye na-ejide akpa ego ha, mgbe ụfọdụ, ọ na-amanye aka nʼego ahụ zubiri ego.
Jisọs sịrị, “Hapụ ya aka, ọ zụtara ya ka ọ na-akwado maka ụbọchị olili m. Unu nwere ndị ogbenye nʼetiti unu mgbe niile, ma mụ na unu agaghị anọ mgbe niile.”
Ma mgbe igwe ndị Juu nụrụ na ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ, ha bịara, ọ bụghị naanị ka ha hụ ya, kama ka ha hụkwa Lazarọs onye o mere ka o si na ndị nwuru anwụ bilie. Ya mere, ndịisi nchụaja gbakwara izu igbukwa Lazarọs. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka ọtụtụ ndị Juu ji na-ahapụ ha ma na-ekwerekwa na Jisọs.

Nʼechi ya oke igwe mmadụ ahụ ndị bịara mmemme nụrụ na Jisọs na-abịa Jerusalem. Ha weere igu nkwụ pụọ izute ya na-eti mkpu,
“Hozanna!”

“Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ nke na-abịa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị!”

“Ngọzị dịrị eze Izrel!”
Jisọs hụrụ nwa ịnyịnya ibu, nọkwasị nʼelu ya, dị ka e dere ya,
“Atụla egwu, gị ada Zayọn!
Lee, eze gị ka ọ na-abịa.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu nwa ịnyịnya ibu.”
Na mbụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya aghọtaghị ihe ndị a niile. Ma mgbe e nyesịrị Jisọs otuto, ka ha chetara na-edererị ihe ndị a banyere ya, na e mekwara ya rịị ihe ndị a.
Igwe mmadụ ahụ bụ ndị ya na ha nọ mgbe o si nʼili kpọpụta Lazarọs, mee ka o sị nʼọnwụ bilie, gara nʼihu na-agba ama ya. Ọtụtụ mmadụ pụrụ izute ya nʼihi na ha nụrụ akụkọ ọrụ ihe ịrịbama niile ọ rụrụ. Ya mere, ndị Farisii sịrịtara onwe ha, “Unu ahụla na o nweghị ihe unu pụrụ ime, leenụ ka ụwa niile na-eso ya.”

Ma ụfọdụ ndị Griik so nʼime ndị ahụ bịara ife ofufe nʼoge mmemme ahụ. Ha bịakwutere Filip onye si Betsaida dị na Galili, gwa ya sị, “Nna anyị ukwu, anyị chọrọ ịhụ Jisọs.” Filip pụrụ gaa gwa Andru, ya na Andru sooro gaa gwa Jisọs.
Jisọs zara sị, “Oge awa ahụ eruola mgbe a ga-enye Nwa nke Mmadụ otuto. Nʼezie, nʼezie, agwa m unu, ọ bụrụ na mkpụrụ ọka wiiti adaghị nʼala nwụọ, ọ ga-anọ naanị ya. Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ nwụọ, ọ ga-amị ọtụtụ mkpụrụ. Ndị ọbụla hụrụ ndụ ha nʼanya ga-atụfu ya, ebe ndị ọbụla kpọrọ ndụ ha asị nʼụwa a, ga-edebe ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Onye ọbụla na-ejere m ozi aghaghị iso m; ebe m nọ ka onye na-ejere m ozi ga-anọkwa. Onye ọbụla na-ejere m ozi ka Nna m ga-asọpụrụ.
“Ugbu a, mkpụrụobi m jupụtara nʼihe mgbu. Gịnịkwa ka m ga-ekwu, Nna, zọpụta m nʼawa nke a? Mba! Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m ji bịa nʼoge awa a. Nna, nye aha gị otuto.”
Mgbe ahụ, otu olu siri nʼeluigwe bịa, “Enyela m ya otuto, m ga-enyekwa ya otuto ọzọ.” Igwe ndị mmadụ guzo nʼebe ahụ, ndị nụrụ ya na-ekwu, “Ọ bụ egbe eluigwe gbara.” Ndị ọzọ na-asị, “Ọ bụ mmụọ ozi na-agwa ya okwu.”
Jisọs zara ma sị, “Olu a abịaghị nʼihi m kama ọ bịara nʼihi unu. Ugbu a bụ oge a ga-ekpe ụwa a ikpe. Ugbu a ka a ga-achụpụ onye ahụ na-achị ụwa a. Ma mụ onwe m, mgbe e si nʼụwa welie m elu, aga m adọta mmadụ niile nye onwe m.” O kwuru nke a iji gosi ụdị ọnwụ nke ọ gaje ịnwụ.
Igwe mmadụ ahụ zara ya, “Anyị anụla site nʼakwụkwọ iwu na Kraịst ahụ ga-adị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ma gịnị mere i ji asị na, ‘A ghaghị iweli Nwa nke Mmadụ elu’? Onye bụ ‘Nwa nke mmadụ a’?”
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Ìhè ga-enwuru unu naanị nwa oge nta. Jegharịanụ nʼìhè a, ugbu a unu nwere ya, tupu ọchịchịrị abịakwasị unu. Onye na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị amaghị ebe ọ na-aga. Kwerenụ nʼìhè ahụ ugbu a unu nwere ya ka unu ghọọ ụmụ nke ìhè.” Mgbe Jisọs kwusiri nke a ọ hapụrụ ha pụọ ga zoo onwe ya.

Nʼagbanyeghị ọrụ ịrịbama niile ọ rụrụ nʼetiti ha, ha ekwereghị na ya. Nke a bụ imezu ihe Aịzaya onye amụma kwuru,
“Onyenwe anyị, onye kweere ozi anyị
ọ bụkwa nʼahụ onye ka e kpugheere ogwe aka Onyenwe anyị?”
Ma ha enweghị ike kwere, nʼihi na Aịzaya kwukwara nʼebe ọzọ, sị,
“O meela ka ha kpuo ìsì,
mekwa ka obi ha kpọchie
Ka ha ghara iji anya ha hụ ụzọ
maọbụ jiri obi ha ghọta ihe ọbụla
Ka ha gharakwa ichigharị, ka m gwọọ ha.”
Aịzaya kwuru ihe ndị a nʼihi na ọ hụrụ ebube ya, ma kwuo banyere ya.
Otu ọ dị, ọtụtụ nʼime ndịisi kweere na ya, ma ha ekwupụtaghị nke a. Nʼihi na ha tụrụ egwu na ndị Farisii ga-achụpụ ha site nʼụlọ ekpere. Nʼihi na ha hụrụ otuto mmadụ nʼanya karịa otuto Chineke.
Jisọs tiri mkpu sị, “Onye ọbụla kwere na m, ọ bụghị na m ka o kwere, kama ọ bụ na onye nke zitere m. Nʼihi na onye ọbụla hụrụ m ahụla onye nke zitere m. Abịara m nʼime ụwa dị ka ìhè ka onye ọbụla nke kwere na m ghara ịnọ nʼọchịchịrị.
