NgokukaJohane 18:13-24

Bamhola, bamyisa ku-Anase kuqala, ngokuba engumukhwe kaKhayifase owayengumphristi omkhulu ngalowo nyaka. Phela uKhayifase nguyena owaluleka abaJuda ngokuthi kungcono ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu. USimoni Phethro nomunye umfundi owayaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu, bamlandela uJesu. UJesu wangena-ke egcekeni lomphristi omkhulu. Kepha uPhethro wayemi ngaphandle kwesango. Waphuma lowo mfundi owayaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu, wakhuluma nentombazane engumlindimnyango, yayisimngenisa uPhethro. Intombazana engumlindimnyango yayisithi kuPhethro: “Ngabe impela nawe awusiye yini omunye wabafundi balo muntu na?” Wathi yena: “Angisiye.” Kwakumi lapho izinceku nezikhonzi zibase umlilo wamalahle, zotha, ngokuba kwakumakhaza; noPhethro wayemi nazo, otha umlilo. Kepha umphristi omkhulu wabuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe nangemfundiso yakhe. UJesu wamphendula, wathi: “Ngikhulumile esidlangalaleni ezweni. Ngezikhathi zonke, bengifundisa esinagogeni nasethempelini, lapho kubuthana khona bonke abaJuda, angikhulumanga lutho ngasese. Pho ubuzelani kimi na? Buza kulabo abezwile lokho engakukhuluma kubo; bona bayakwazi engakushoyo.” Esasho lokho, esinye isikhonzi esasimi eduze sammukula uJesu, sathi: “Uphendula umphristi omkhulu kanjalo na?” UJesu wasiphendula, wathi: “Uma ngikhulume kabi, fakaza ngalobo bubi; kodwa uma kukuhle, ungishayelani na?” U-Anase wamthumela eboshiwe kuKhayafase, umphristi omkhulu.
