Ipapo vapristi vakuru vavaJudha vakati kuna Pirato, “Musanyora muchiti, ‘Mambo wavaJudha,’ asi kuti, ‘Iye akati, ndiri mambo wavaJudha.’ ” Pirato akapindura, akati, “Zvandanyora, ndanyora.” Zvino varwi vakati varovera Jesu pamuchinjikwa, vakatora nguo dzake, vakaita migove mina, murwi mumwe nomumwe mugove wake; nenguo yapasiwo.
