Zvino mazuva matanhatu Pasika ichigere kusvika, Jesu akasvika Bhetania, paiva naRazaro, wakadeya kumutswa naJesu kuvakafa. Vakamuitirapo chirariro; Marita akavashandira; naRazaro akanga ari mumwe wavakanga vagere naye pakudya. Zvino Maria akatora paundi yamafuta enaridho, anomutengo mukuru, akazodza tsoka dzaJesu, akapukuta tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake; imba ikazadzwa nokunhuwira kwamafuta. Ipapo mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Judhasi Isikarioti akanga achazomupandukira, akati, “Mafuta awa akaregereiko kutengeswa namadhenari mazana matatu, akapiwa varombo?” Asi haana kureva izvozvo kuri kuti akarangarira varombo, asi nokuti aiva mbavha; aigara nechikwama, achisiba zvaiiswamo.
Asi Jesu akati, “Muregei, azvichengetere zuva rokuvigwa kwangu. Nokuti varombo munavo nguva dzose; asi ini hamuneni nguva dzose.”
Zvino vanhu vazhinji-zhinji vokuvaJudha vakanzwa kuti aripo; vakauya, asi havana kuuya nokuda kwaJesu bedzi, asi kuti vaonewo Razaro, waakanga amutsa kuvakafa. Asi vapristi vakuru vakarangana kuti vauraye naRazarowo, nokuti nokuda kwake vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vachibva kwavari, vachitenda kuna Jesu.
Zvino ava mangwana vanhu vazhinji-zhinji, vakanga vauya kumutambo, vakati vanzwa kuti Jesu auya Jerusaremu, vakatora mashizha emichindwi, vakabuda kundomuchingamidza, vakadanidzira, vachiti, “Hosana! Ngaarumbidzwe anouya muzita raIshe, Mambo wavaIsiraeri.”
Jesu akati awana mwana wembongoro, akagara pamusoro payo, sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi, “Usatya, mukunda weZioni; tarira Mambo wako anouya, agere pamusoro pemhuru yembongoro.”
Vadzidzi vake havana kunzwisisa izvozvi pakutanga; asi Jesu akati akudzwa, vakazoyeuka, kuti izvozvo zvakanga zvanyorwa pamusoro pake, uye kuti vakanga vamuitira izvozvo.
Zvino vanhu vazhinji vaiva naye pakudana kwake Razaro kuti abve mubwiro, nokumumutsa kuvakafa, vakapupura.
Saka vazhinji vakamuchingamidzawo, nokuti vakanga vanzwa, kuti akaita chiratidzo ichocho. Ipapo vaFarisi vakataurirana, vachiti, “Munoona henyu kuti hamugoni chinhu; tarirai, nyika yose yamutevera.”
Zvino kwaiva navamwe vaGiriki pakati pavakanga vakwira kumutambo kundonamatako; ivo vakauya kuna Firipi weBhetisaidha reGariria, vakakumbira kwaari, vachiti, “Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.”
Firipi akaenda, akandoudza Andireya; Andireya akaenda naFiripi, vakandoudza Jesu.
Jesu akavapindura, akati, “Nguva yasvika, kuti Mwanakomana womunhu akudzwe. Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri, kana tsanga yezviyo ikasawira muvhu, ikafa, ichagara iri yoga; asi kana ikafa, inobereka zvibereko zvizhinji. Anoda upenyu hwake, acharasikirwa nahwo; noanovenga upenyu hwake panyika ino, achahuchengeta kuupenyu husingaperi. Kana munhu achindishumira, ngaanditevere; napandinenge ndiri, nomuranda wangu achavapowo. Kana munhu achindishumira, baba vachamukudza.
“Zvino mweya wangu unomanikidzwa; ndichatiiko? Baba ndiponesei panguva ino. Asi ndizvo zvandauyira panguva ino. Baba, kudzai zita renyu.” Ipapo izwi rakauya, richibva kudenga, richiti, “Ndatorikudza, ndicharikudzazve.”
Zvino vanhu vazhinji, vakanga vamirepo, vachizvinzwa, vakati, “Kwatinhira.” Vamwe vakati, “Mutumwa ataura naye.”
Jesu akapindura, akati, “Izwi iri harina kuuya nokuda kwangu asi nokuda kwenyu. Zvino kutongwa kwenyika ino kwavapo, zvino muchinda wenyika ino achadzingwa. Neni, kana ndasimudzwa panyika, ndichakwevera vose kwandiri.” Wakareva izvozvi, achiratidza kufa, kwaaizofa nako.
Zvino vanhu vazhinji vakamupindura, vakati, “Isu takanzwa pamurayiro kuti Kristu uchagara aokusingaperi; zvino moreva seiko imi, kuti Mwanakomana womunhu anofanira kusimudzwa? Uyu Mwanakomana womunhu ndianiko?”
Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Chiedza chichipo pakati penyu chinguva chiduku. Fambai muchine chiedza, kuti murege kukundwa nerima; anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
“Muchine chiedza, tendai kuchiedza, mugoitwa vana vechiedza.”
Jesu akareva izvozvi, akabva, akazvivanza kwavari.
