Jesu nebafundzi bakhe badla Sidlo seliPhasika
(Mat. 26:17-25; Luk. 22:7-14,21-23; Joh. 13:21-30)
12 Ngelilanga lekucala leMkhosi Wesinkhwa Lesingenambiliso, mhla kunikelwa imvana yeliPhasika, bafundzi baJesu baya kuye bambuta batsi: “Ungatsandza kutsi siyekulungiselela kuphi Sidlo seliPhasika?”
13Jesu watfumela bafundzi bakhe lababili watsi kubo: “Hambani niye edolobheni, niyawuhlangabetana nemuntfu etfwele imbita yemanti; nibomlandzela. 14Nitawufike nikhulume nalomnikati wendlu, latawungena kuyo lomuntfu, nitsi: ‘UMfundzisi utsi: “Liphi likamelo lapho ngingadlela khona liPhasika ngikanye nebafundzi bami?” ’ 15Lomnikati wendlu utanikhombisa likamelo lelikhulu lelingetulu, lelilungiswe kahle; bese nisilungiselela khona.”
16Bafundzi bahamba-ke baya edolobheni, bakhandza kunjengobe Jesu abebatjelile; bavele basilungiselela Sidlo seMkhosi weliPhasika.

19Bacala kudzabuka, kwaba ngulowo watibutela yena atsi: “Kungabe ngimi yini?”
20Jesu watsi kubo: “Ngulomunye wenu nine labali-12, lowo lowenya lucetu lwesinkhwa ndishi yinye nami. 21Vele kambe iNdvodzana yeMuntfu itawufa, njengobe kubhaliwe ngayo; kodvwa maye kulowo muntfu iNdvodzana yeMuntfu letawutsengiswa ngaye! Bekuyawuba ncono kulowo muntfu kube mane akatalwanga.”
Kumiswa kweSidlo seNkhosi
(Mat. 26:26-30; Luk. 22:15-20; 1 Khor. 11:23-25)
22 Batsi basadla, Jesu watsatsa sinkhwa, wabusisa, wase uyasihlephula, wabanika watsi: “Tsatsani, loku ngumtimba wami.”
23Watsatsa nendzebe, watsi nasabongile, wabanika, bonkhe banatsa kuyo. 24 Watsi kubo: “Loku kuyingati yami yesivumelwane, lecitselwa labanyenti. 25Ngicinisile, ngitsi kini: Angeke ngiphindze nginatse kulesitselo semvini, kuyawudzimate kube ngulelo langa nase ngisinatsa sisisha embusweni waNkulunkulu.”
26Batsi kube bacedze kuhlabela ingoma yekubonga, baphuma baya eNtsabeni Yemincumo.

(Mat. 26:31-35; Luk. 22:31-34; Joh. 13:36-38)
27 Jesu watsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Nonkhe nitangihlamuka, ngobe kubhaliwe kutsi:
“ ‘Ngiyawushaya ngibulale umelusi,
timvu tiyawuhlakateka.’
28 “Kodvwa nase ngivusiwe kulabafile, ngiyawuhamba ngembili kwenu ngiye eGalile.”
29Kepha Phetro watsi kuye: “Nome bangakuhlamuka bonkhe, mine ngingeke.”
30Jesu watsi kuye: “Ngicinisile, ngitsi kuwe: Kubo lobusuku balamuhla, lichudze litawutsi lingakakhali kwesibili, wena utabe sewungiphike katsatfu.”
31Kepha Phetro wagcizelela watsi: “Nome bangangibulala kanye nawe, mine ngeke ngikuphike.”
Bafundzi bonkhe basho njalo.
Jesu uthandaza eGetsemane
(Mat. 26:36-46; Luk. 22:39-46)
32Besuka lapho baya endzaweni lekwakutsiwa yiGetsemane, Jesu watsi kubafundzi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, mine ngisaya kukhuleka.” 33Watsatsa boPhetro, naJakobe, naJohane, wachubachubeka nabo. Wafikelwa ngumunyu nekudzabuka nekwesaba, 34watsi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ucindzetelwe lusizi, ngidzabuke lokwekufa. Salani lapha nilindze.”
35Yena wachubachubeka libangana, watilahla phansi, wakhuleka kutsi sendlule kuye lesikhatsi selusizi, nakungenteka. 36Watsi: “Aba, Babe, konkhe kungenteka kuwe. Yendlulise kimi lendzebe yelusizi, noko kungayi ngentsandvo yami kodvwa kuye ngentsandvo yakho.”
37Weta kubafundzi labatsatfu wabakhandza sebalele, watsi kuPhetro: “Simoni, ulele? Ungabe usalindza neli-awa linye nje? 38Lindzani nikhuleke kuze ningangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma, kodvwa inyama ibutsakatsaka.”
39Wabuyela futsi wayawuthandaza, asho wona lawo mavi. 40Waphindza wabuyela kulabafundzi labatsatfu, wabakhandza balele. Phela emehlo abo abesindvwa butfongo, behluleka kutsi bangamphendvula batsini.
41Wabuya kwesitsatfu watsi kubo: “Kantsi nisalele nanyalo? Nisaphumulile? Sekwenele; sikhatsi sesifikile. Ase nibuke-ke, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu seyiniketwa etandleni tetoni. 42Sukumani sambe! Bukani nangu longitsengisako asakhona.”
Kuboshwa kwaJesu
(Mat. 26:47-56; Luk. 22:47-53; Joh. 18:3-12)
43Masinyane nje asakhuluma, kwatseleka Judasi, lomunye walabebali-12. Abehamba nesicuku lesikhulu sebantfu sihlome ngetinkemba nangetindvuku, sitfunywe baphristi labakhulu, netati temtsetfo kanye netibondza. 44Lona labemtsengisa-ke abebanike siboniso watsi: “Lowo lengitamanga, nguye-ke lowo. Nimbambe, niphume naye, nimbone angaphunyuli.”
45Watsi kube efike nje Judasi wacondza ngco kuJesu, watsi: “Mfundzisi!” Wamanga. 46Batselekela Jesu, bambamba, bambopha. 47Kodvwa lomunye walabo lababeme eceleni kwaJesu wahoshula inkemba yakhe wagalela esigcilini semPhristi Lomkhulu, wasihhumbula indlebe. 48Jesu watsi kubo: “Nidzimate nihlome kangaka, shangatsi nihlomele sigebengu, niphetse tinkemba netagila nje, kantsi nitewubamba mine. 49 Imihla nemalanga bengihlala nani ethempelini ngifundzisa, anizange seningibophe. Kodvwa kufanele kugcwaliseke umBhalo.”
50Bonkhe bafundzi bakhe bamshiya babaleka.
51Lelinye libhungu lalilandzela Jesu, lembetse indvwangu yelineni kuphela. Batsi bayalibamba, 52laphunyula labashiya babambe lendvwangu, lacela empunzini, lingcunu.
Jesu embikweLiqoqo
(Mat. 26:57-68; Luk. 22:54-55,63-71; Joh. 18:13-14,19-24)
53Bachuba Jesu bammikisa kumPhristi Lomkhulu; bonkhe baphristi labakhulu, netibondza, netati temtsetfo tabutsana khona. 54Phetro wamlandzela ahambela emuva le, waze wangena ebaleni lakamPhristi Lomkhulu. Wefika wahlala kanye nabogadzi, wotsa umlilo. 55Baphristi labakhulu kanye neLiqoqo lonkhe bafuna bufakazi labangahle bambeke licala ngabo Jesu, khona batemlahla ngelicala lekufa, kodvwa abazange babutfole ngisho nabunye.
56Labanyenti baletsa bufakazi bemanga ngaye, kodvwa nalobo bufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane.
57Labanye basukuma bafakaza emanga ngaJesu, batsi: 58 “Simvile tsine atsi: ‘Ngitalibhidlita lelithempeli lelakhiwe ngetandla, ngibuye ngakhe lelinye lelingakakhiwa ngetandla tebantfu, ngilakhe ngemalanga lamatsatfu.’ ” 59Nakhona lapho bufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane.
60UmPhristi Lomkhulu wasukuma wema emkhatsini wabo bonkhe, wabuta Jesu watsi: “Awutiphendvuleli ngani kuloku labakushoko ngawe labantfu?”
61 Kodvwa Jesu wathula, wangete wamphendvula. Waphindza futsi umPhristi Lomkhulu wambuta watsi: “Unguye yini Khristu, iNdvodzana yaLobongekako?”
62 Jesu watsi:
“Nginguye; ngitsi:
Niyawuyibona iNdvodzana yeMuntfu
ihleti ngesekudla saSomandla,
ita ngemafu elizulu.”
63UmPhristi Lomkhulu wadzabula imijiva yakhe, atsi: “Sisabufunelani lobunye bufakazi? 64 Nikuvile kuhlambalata kwakhe. Nitsini-ke nine?”
Bonkhe bamlahla ngelicala, batsi kufanele abulawe.
65Labanye bamkhafulela ngematse, bammbonya buso bakhe, bamshaya batsi: “Phrofetha!” Nabogadzi imbala bammukula.
Phetro uphika Jesu
(Mat. 26:69-75; Luk. 22:56-62; Joh. 18:15-18,25-27)
66Phetro asehleti entansi nelibala, kweta kuye intfombatana leyayingulesinye setisebenti temPhristi Lomkhulu; 67yatsi kube ibone Phetro otsa umlilo, yambuka yase itsi kuye: “Nawe futsi bewuhamba naye lomNazaretha longuJesu.”
68Kodvwa waphika Phetro watsi: “Angati, futsi angikuva nekutsi ukhuluma ngani.” Waphumela ngephandle esibuyeni. [Lichudze lase liyakhala.]
69Yaphindza yambona lentfombatana, yase ikhuluma nalababeme naye yatsi: “Lo, ungulomunye wabo.” 70Kodvwa Phetro waphindze waphika.
Emvakwesikhashana lababeme naye batsi kuPhetro: “Kuliciniso kutsi ungulomunye wabo, ngobe naku ungumGalile.”
71Kodvwa Phetro wafunga aticalekisa, watsi: “Angimati lomuntfu lenikhuluma ngaye!”
72Masinyane lichudze lakhala kwesibili. Nembala Phetro wawakhumbula emagama aJesu ngesikhatsi atsi kuye: “Lichudze lingakakhali kwesibili wena utawube sewungiphike katsatfu.” Wadzabuka kakhulu enhlitiyweni yakhe, wakhala.
