Khona uJesu wafika nabo endaweni ethiwa iGetsemane, wathi kubafundi: “Hlalani lapha, ngisaya kukhuleka laphaya.” Wathatha uPetru namadodana amabili kaZebedewu, waqala ukuba nomunyu nosizi. Khona wathi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha, nilinde kanye nami.”
Waqhubeka ingcosana, wawa ngobuso bakhe, wakhuleka wathi: “Baba, uma kungenzeka, akudlule kimi lesi sitsha; nokho kungabi njengokuba ngithanda mina, kodwa njengokuba uthanda wena.”
Wayeseza kubafundi, wabafumana belele; wathi kuPetru: “Kanti beningelinde nami ihora libe linye na? Lindani, nikhuleke ukuba ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kepha inyama ibuthakathaka.”
Wabuye waya ngokwesibili, wakhuleka wathi: “Baba, uma lesi sitsha singedlule kimi ngingasiphuzanga, mayenziwe intando yakho.”
Esebuya futhi wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayenzima. Wabuye wabashiya, waya wakhuleka ngokwesithathu esho futhi lona lelo zwi.
Khona wafika kubafundi, wathi kubo: “Nisalele namanje niphumula; bhekani, ihora selisondele, iNdodana yomuntu isiyakhashelwa ezandleni zezoni. Sukumani sihambe; bhekani, ongikhaphelayo usesondele.”
Esakhuluma, bheka, kwafika uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, enesixuku esikhulu sinezinkemba nezinduku, sivela kubapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe. Kepha omkhaphelayo wayebanike isiboniso sokuthi: “Lowo engiyakumanga nguye; mbambeni yena.” Wafika masinyane kuJesu, wathi: “E Rabi!” Wamanga.
UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Mngane, ubabeleni na?”
Khona basondela, babeka izandla kuJesu, bambamba. Bheka, omunye kwababe noJesu welula isandla, wahosha inkemba yakhe, wayigenca inceku yompristi omkhulu, wayinquma indlebe.
UJesu wayesethi kuye: “Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo, ngokuba bonke abaphatha inkemba bayakubhubha ngenkemba. Ingabe uthi ngingecele kuBaba angithumele manje amalegiyona* ezingelosi adlula ishumi nambili na? Pho-ke ingagcwaliseka kanjani imibhalo yokuthi kumelwe ukuba kube njalo na?”
Ngaleso sikhathi uJesu wathi ezixukwini: “Niphumile kungathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku ukungibamba, na? Bengihlezi ethempelini imihla ngemihla ngifundisa, anangibamba. Kepha konke lokho kwenzekile ukuba kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaprofethi.” Khona bonke abafundi bamshiya, babaleka.
