NgokukaMathewu 27:39-44

Kepha abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo, bathi: “Wena odiliza ithempeli, ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu, zisindise, uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wehle esiphambanweni.” Kanjalo nabapristi abakhulu bambhinqa kanye nababhali namalunga, bathi: “Wasindisa abanye, angezisindise yena; uyinkosi yakwa-Israyeli, akehle manje esiphambanweni, sikholwe nguye. Wethembile uNkulunkulu; makamkhulule manje, uma emthanda, ngokuba wathi: ‘NgiyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.’ ” Kepha nabaphangi ababebethelwe esiphambanweni kanye naye bamdumaza kanjalo.
