uMarko 15:6-20

Ke kaloku ngomthendeleko wayebakhululela umbanjwa abe mnye, abasukuba bemcela. Kwaye kukho ke obekuthiwa nguBharabhas, ebotshwe ndawonye nabanye abenzi besaqunge, ababulalayo nokubulala esaqungeni apho. Sankqangaza isihlwele, saqala ukucela, ukuba enze ngoko abehlala esenza ngako kubo. Wabaphendula ke uPilato, esithi, Nithanda ukuba ndinikhululele ukumkani wamaYuda na? Kuba ebesazi ukuba ababingeleli abakhulu abo bamnikele ngomona. Ke bona ababingeleli abakhulu bayixhokonxa indimbane, ukuba icele ukuba kanye abakhululele uBharabhas. Waphinda waphendula ke uPilato, wathi kubo, Ningamenza ntoni na ke ngoko kulowo nithi unguKumkani wamaYuda? Babuya ke bankqangaza bathi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Wathi ke uPilato kubo, Kuba enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona ke bancamisayo ukunkqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Kwathi ngoko uPilato, enga angasiyenelisa isihlwele, wabakhululela uBharabhas; wamnikela uYesu, akuba emtyakatyile, ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni. Aza amasoldati amrholela entendelezweni, ebizwa ngokuba yirhuluneli; balibizele ndawonye ibutho lonke. Bamambesa iingubo ezimfusa, baluluka isithsaba sameva, bamfaka ngaso entloko. Baza bathi kuye, Vuya, Kumkani wamaYuda! Ayembetha entloko ngengcongolo; ayemtshicela; ayeguqa ngamadolo, aqubude kuye. Athi akuba edlale ngaye, amhluba ebomvu, amambathisa kwaezakhe iingubo; amrhola, aya kumbethelela emnqamlezweni.
