uMarko 14:1-25

Ke kaloku bekuza kubakho ipasika, izonka ezingenagwele, emveni kweentsuku ezimbini; baye ke ababingeleli abakhulu nababhali befuna ukuba bangathini na ukumbamba ngenkohliso, bambulale. Babesithi ke, Kungabi ngomthendeleko, hleze kubekho isaqunge ebantwini. Kuthe eseBhetani, endlwini kaSimon owayeneqhenqa, akubon’ ukuba uhleli, kweza umfazi enehlala lelabhastile, linamafutha enadusi engangxengelelweyo, exabiso likhulu; walityumza iselwa, wamgalela entloko. Kwaye ke kukho abathile abacaphukayo phakathi kwabo, besithi, Yenzelweni na le nkcitho yamafutha aqholiweyo? Kuba la mafutha bekungathengiswa ngawo ngeedenariyo ezingaphezu kwamakhulu amathathu, kuphiwe amahlwempu. Baye bamkrokrela. Uthe ke uYesu, Myekeni; yini na ukuba nimkhathaze? Undenzele umsebenzi omhle. Kuba amahlwempu lawo nihleli ninawo, nize xa sukuba nithanda, nibe nako ukuwenzela okulungileyo; ke mna anihleli ninam. Yena ukwenzile abenako; uphange weza wawuthambisela ukungcwatywa umzimba wam. Inene ndithi kuni, Apho zithe zavakaliswa khona ezi ndaba zilungileyo kulo lonke ihlabathi, iya kuxelwa nayo le nto ayenzileyo yena, ibe sisikhumbuzo ngaye. uYuda Sikariyoti, omnye kwabeshumi elinababini, wesuka waya kubabingeleli abakhulu, ukuba amnikele kubo. Bakuva ke oko, bavuya, bamthembisa ngokumnika imali. Wayefuna ukuba angathini na ukumnikela ngexesha elimlungeleyo. Ke kaloku, ngowokuqala umhla wezonka ezingenagwele, xa bekubingelelwa imvana yepasika, bathi kuye abafundi bakhe, Unga singaya kulungisa phi na, ukuze uyidle ipasika? Ususa babini kubafundi bakhe, athi kubo, Hambani niye kuwo umzi; nohlangatyezwa ngumntu ethwele umphanda wamanzi; mlandeleni. Xa athe angena, nothi kumninindlu, Uthi uMfundisi, Liphi na igumbi labahambi, apho ndingadlela khona ipasika nabafundi bam? Yena wonibonisa igumbi eliphezulu, elikhulu, landlelwe lalungiswa; silungiseleleni apho. Baphuma abafundi bakhe abo baya kungena kuwo umzi, bafumana kunjengoko wayebaxelele, bayilungisa ipasika. Kwathi kwakuhlwa, eze nabalishumi elinababini. Bakubon’ ukuba bahleli, bayadla, wathi uYesu, Inene, ndithi kuni, omnye kuni aba uya kundingcatsha, lowo ke udla nam. Baqala ke ukuba buhlungu, nokuthi kuye ngabanye, Ingaba ndim, yini na? Wathi omnye, Ingaba ndim na? Uphendule ke wathi kubo, Ngomnye kwabeshumi elinababini, lowo ke uthi nkxu nam esityeni. uNyana woMntu uyemka okunene, njengoko kubhalwe ngaye; yeha ke, loo mntu uNyana woMntu angcatshwa nguye! Ngekumlungele ukuba ebengazalwanga loo mntu. Bakubon’ ukuba bayadla, uYesu wasithabatha isonka, wathi akusikelela, waqhekeza, wabanika, wathi, Thabathani nidle; ngumzimba wam lo. Wayithabatha nendebe, wabulela, wabanika; basela kuyo bonke. Wathi kubo, Ligazi lam eli lomnqophiso omtsha, eliphalala ngenxa yabaninzi. Inene ndithi kuni, Andisayi kubuya ndisele esiqhameni somdiliya, kude kube yiloo mini sukuba ndisisela sisitsha ebukumkanini bukaThixo.
