Jesu ugcotshwa eBethaniya
(Math. 26:1,6; Luk. 22:1; Joh. 12:1)
1Emva kwezinsuku ezimbili kwaba khona iPhasika nomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo; abapristi abakhulu nababhali bafuna isu lokumbamba ngobuqili, bambulale. 2Ngakho bathi: “Makungabi ngomkhosi, kungaze kube khona isiyaluyalu esizweni.”
3Kwathi eseBethaniya endlini kaSimoni owayenochoko, ehlezi ekudleni, kwafika owesifazane ephethe umfuma we-alabaste* wamafutha enadi* lodwa elibiza kakhulu; wachoboza umfuma wathela amafutha ekhanda lakhe.
4Kepha kwakukhona abanye abakhuluma bodwa ngokuthukuthela, bethi: “Kwenzelweni lokho kuchithwa kwamafutha na? 5Ngokuba lawa mafutha nga ethengisiwe ngawodenariyu* abangaphezu kwamakhulu amathathu, kwaphiwa abampofu.” Bamthukuthelela kakhulu.
6Kepha uJesu wathi: “Myekeni; nimhluphelani na? Usebenzile umsebenzi omuhle kimi. 7Ngokuba abampofu ninabo njalo; nanini, uma nithanda, ningabenzela okuhle: kepha mina aninami njalo. 8Wenzile abengakwenza; wandulele ukuwugcobela umzimba wami ukumbelwa. 9Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Nomaphi lapho liyakushunyayelwa khona ivangeli ezweni lonke, kuyakukhulunywa nangalokho akwenzileyo, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.”
Umvuzo wokumkhaphela uJesu
(Math. 26:14; Luk. 22:3)
10UJuda Iskariyothe, omunye wabayishumi nambili, wayeseya kubapristi abakhulu ukuba amkhaphele kubo. 11Sebezwile bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali. Wayesefuna ithuba lokumkhaphela.
Ukumiswa kwesidlo esingcwele
(Math. 26:17; Luk. 22:7; Joh. 13:21)
12 Ngosuku lokuqala lwesinkwa esingenamvubelo okwakuhlatshwa ngalo iphasika abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: “Uthanda ukuba siye silungiselephi ukuba udle iphasika na?”
13Wayesethuma ababili kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Hambani niye emzini; khona nizakuhlangana nomuntu othwele imbiza yamanzi; mlandeleni. 14Lapho engena khona, anothi kumninindlu: ‘Uthi uMfundisi: Iphi indlu yami, lapho ngingadlela khona iphasika nabafundi bami, na?’ 15Yena uzakunikhombisa ikamelo elikhulu eliphezulu, elendlelweyo, lilungisiwe; silungiseleni khona.”
16Bahamba abafundi bafika emzini, bafumana kunjengokusho kwakhe kubo; base belungisa iphasika.
17Kusihlwa wafika nabayishumi nambili. 18 Sebehlezi ekudleni, uJesu wathi: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye kini, odla nami, uzakungikhaphela.”
19Baqala ukudabuka, bathi kuye ngamunye: “Kungaba yimi na?”
20Wathi kubo: “Ngomunye wabayishumi nambili, okha kanye nami esitsheni. 21INdodana yomuntu iyamuka kambe njengokulotshiwe ngayo, kepha maye kulowo muntu iNdodana yomuntu ekhashelwa ngaye! Nga kukuhle kulowo muntu ukuba kazalwanga.”
22 Kwathi besadla, uJesu wathabatha isinkwa, wasibusisa, wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: “Thabathani nidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami.”
23Wayesethabatha isitsha, wabonga, wabanika; baphuza kuso bonke.
24 Wathi kubo: “Lokhu kuyigazi lami lesivumelwano elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi. 25Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Angisayikuphuza okwesithelo somvini, kuze kufike lolo suku engiyakusiphuza ngalo sisisha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
26Kwathi sebehlabelele igama lokubonga, baphuma baya eNtabeni Yeminqumo.
27 UJesu wathi kubo: “Nonke nizakukhubeka, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Ngiyakushaya umalusi, izimvu zihlakazeke.’ 28Kepha emva kokuvuswa kwami ngiyakunandulela ukuya eGalile.”
29UPetru wathi kuye: “Noma beyakukhubeka bonke, hhayi mina.”
30UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Namhlanje ngalobu busuku, lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzakungiphika kathathu.”
31Kepha waqinisa ngamandla, wathi: “Noma ngingaze ngife nawe, angisoze ngakuphika.” Basho njalo bonke.
EGetsemane
(Math. 26:36; Luk. 22:39)
32Bafika endaweni ethiwa iGetsemane; wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, ngisaya kukhuleka.” 33Wathatha oPetru noJakobe noJohane, waqala ukuba novalo nosizi. 34Wathi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha, nilinde.”
35Waqhubeka ingcosana, wawa phansi, wakhuleka ukuba, uma kungenzeka, kudlule kuye lo mzuzu. 36Wathi: “Aba, Baba, konke kungenzeka kuwe; ake ususe kimi lesi sitsha, kepha kungabi njengokuba ngithanda mina, kodwa njengokuba uthanda wena.”
37Wayeseza, wabafumana belele; wathi kuPetru: “Simoni, ulele na? Ubungelinde ihora libe linye na? 38Lindani, nikhuleke ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka.”
39Wabuye wasuka waya kukhuleka, esho lona lelo zwi. 40Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima; babengazi ukuthi bazakumphendula ngokuthini.
41Weza ngokwesithathu, wathi kubo: “Nisalele namanje niphumula. Kwanele, ihora lifikile; bhekani, iNdodana yomuntu isiyakhashelwa ezandleni zezoni. 42Sukumani sihambe. Bhekani, ongikhaphelayo usesondele.”
Ukuboshwa kukaJesu nokuthethwa kwecala phambi kompristi omkhulu
(Math. 26:47; Luk. 22:47; Joh. 18:2)
43Khona masinyane esakhuluma, kwafika uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, enesixuku esinezinkemba nezinduku, sivela kubapristi abakhulu nababhali namalunga. 44Kepha omkhaphelayo wayebanike isiboniso sokuthi: “Lowo engiyakumanga, nguye; mbambeni, nihambe naye, nimqinise.”
45Esefikile wasondela kuye masinyane, wathi: “Rabi!” Wamanga. 46Base bembeka izandla, bambamba. 47Omunye kwababemi khona wahosha inkemba, wayigenca inceku yompristi omkhulu, wayinquma indlebe.
48UJesu wathatha wathi kubo: “Niphumile kungathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku ukungibamba. 49Benginani imihla ngemihla ethempelini ngifundisa, anangibamba; kepha nga kugcwaliseka imibhalo.” 50Bamshiya bonke, babaleka.
51Insizwa ethile yamlandela yembethe indwangu nje emzimbeni; bayibamba. 52Yayisiyishiya indwangu, yabaleka ze.
53Base bemusa uJesu kumpristi omkhulu; kwabuthana bonke abapristi abakhulu namalunga nababhali. 54UPetru wamlandela ekude, waze wangena egcekeni lompristi omkhulu; wayehlezi kanye nezikhonzi otha umlilo.
55Abapristi abakhulu nomphakathi wonke bafuna ubufakazi ngoJesu ukuba bambulale, kepha ababufumananga. 56Ngokuba abaningi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kepha ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
57Kwasukuma abathile, bafakaza amanga ngaye, bathi: 58 “Thina simzwile ethi: ‘Ngiyakulidiliza leli thempeli elenziwe ngezandla, ngakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu elinye elingenziwe ngezandla.’ ” 59Nakuba kunjalo ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
60Kwase kusukuma umpristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo, wambuza uJesu, wathi: “Awuphenduli lutho na? Kuyini abakufakaza ngawe laba na?” 61 Kepha wathula, akaphendula lutho. Umpristi omkhulu wabuye wambuza, wathi kuye: “UnguKristu, iNdodana yoBongekayo na?”
62 Wathi uJesu: “Nginguye. Niyakubona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene saMandla, iza ngamafu ezulu.”
63Khona umpristi omkhulu waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wathi: “Sisaswelelani ofakazi na? 64Senikuzwile ukuhlambalaza; nithini na?”
Bamlahla bonke ngokuthi ufanele ukufa. 65Abanye base beqala ukumkhafulela ngamathe nokumgubuzela ubuso nokumdushuza, bathi kuye: “Profetha.” Nezikhonzi zamthatha zammukula.
Ukuphika kukaPetru
(Math. 26:69; Luk. 22:54; Joh. 18:17,25)
66UPetru esesegcekeni ngaphansi, kwafika enye yamantombazana ompristi omkhulu, 67yambona uPetru otha, yambheka, yathi: “Nawe ubunoJesu waseNazaretha.”
68Kepha waphika wathi: “Angikwazi, yebo, angikuzwisisi okushoyo;” waphumela enkundleni; lakhala iqhude.
69Intombazana imbona yabuye yaqala ukusho kwababemi khona ukuthi: “Lona ungomunye wabo.” 70Kepha waphinda waphika.
Emva kwesikhashana futhi ababemi khona bathi kuPetru: “Nempela ungomunye wabo, ngokuba ungowaseGalile.”
71Wayeseqala ukuthuka nokufunga, ethi: “Angimazi lowo muntu enikhuluma ngaye.”
72Lase likhala masinyane iqhude ngokwesibili. UPetru wayesekhumbula izwi abelishilo kuye uJesu lokuthi: “Iqhude lingakakhali kabili, uzakungiphika kathathu;” wakhala nokukhala izinyembezi.
