NgokukaLuka 22:1-20

Kwasondela umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo othiwa iPhasika. Abapristi abakhulu nababhali bafuna ukuba bangambulala kanjani; ngokuba babesaba abantu. Kepha uSathane wangena kuJuda othiwa u-Iskariyothe engowabayishumi nambili. Wasuka wakhuluma nabapristi abakhulu nezinduna ngokuthi angamkhaphela kanjani kubo. Bathokoza, bavumelana naye ukumnika imali. Wavuma-ke, waze wafuna ithuba lokumkhaphela kubo, singekho isixuku. Lwase lufika usuku lwesinkwa esingenamvubelo okumelwe ukuba kuhlatshwe ngalo iphasika. Wathuma oPetru noJohane, wathi: “Hambani niye ukusilungisela iphasika ukuba sidle.” Bathi kuye: “Uthanda ukuba sikulungiselephi na?” Wathi kubo: “Bhekani, seningene emzini niyakuhlangana nomuntu othwele imbiza yamanzi; mlandeleni, niye endlini angena kuyo, nize nithi kumninindlu: ‘Uthi uMfundisi kuwe: Liphi ikamelo lokungenisa, lapho ngingadlela khona iphasika nabafundi bami, na?’ Lowo-ke uzakunikhombisa ikamelo elikhulu eliphezulu, elendlelweyo; lungiselani lapho.” Basuka, bafumana kunjengokusho kwakhe kubo; base belungisa iphasika. Kwathi ukuba kufike isikhathi, wahlala phansi, nabaphostoli kanye naye. Wayesethi kubo: “Nginxanele nokunxanela ukudla nani leli phasika ngingakahlupheki. Ngokuba ngithi kini: Angisayikulidla ngempela lize ligcwaliseke embusweni kaNkulunkulu.” Wamukela isitsha, wabonga wathi: “Thabathani lokhu, nabelane; ngokuba ngithi kini kusukela manje angisayikuphuza okwesithelo somvini, uze ufike umbuso kaNkulunkulu.” Wayesethabatha isinkwa, wabonga, wasihlephula, wabanika, wathi: “Lokhu kungumzimba wami onikelwa nina; yenzani lokhu ukuba ningikhumbule.” Kanjalo-ke nesitsha emva kokudla, ethi: “Lesi sitsha siyisivumelwano esisha egazini lami elithululelwa nina.
