Ukukhashelwa Nokuboshwa KukaJesu
(Mat. 26:47-56; Mak. 14:43-50; Luk. 22:47-53)
1 UJesu esekukhulumile lokho, waphuma nabafundi bakhe; bawelela ngaphesheya komfudlana, iKhedroni. Kwakukhona lapho insimu angena kuyo nabafundi bakhe. 2UJuda owamkhaphelayo wayeyazi leyo ndawo, ngokuba uJesu wayejwayele ukuhlangana lapho nabafundi bakhe. 3 UJuda esetholile isigejana samabutho, izikhonzi zabaphristi abakhulu, nabaFarisi, wahamba nabo baya kuleyo ndawo, bephethe izihlonti, izibani nezikhali.
4 Ngakho-ke uJesu ekwazi konke okuzakumehlela, waphuma, wathi kubo: “Nifuna bani na?”
5Bamphendula, bathi: “UJesu waseNazaretha.”
Wayesethi kubo: “YiMina.”
UJuda, okunguyena owayemkhaphele, wayemi nabo. 6UJesu eseshilo kubo wathi: “YiMina,” base behlehla nyovane, bafumbeka phansi.
7Ngakho-ke wabuye wababuza, wathi: “Nifuna bani na?”
Bathi: “UJesu waseNazaretha.”
8UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Nginitshelile ukuthi yiMina. Uma-ke nifuna Mina, bayekeni laba, bahambe,”
9 ukuze kugcwaliseke izwi alishoyo, wathi: “Kulabo ongiphe bona, angilahlekelwanga namunye.”
10 USimoni Phethro wayesegqabula inkemba ayeyiphethe, wagenca inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayinquma indlebe yesokunene. Igama lenceku kwakunguMalkhusi.
11 UJesu wayesethi kuPhethro: “Buyisela inkemba emgodleni wayo; kanti angiyukusiphuza yini isitsha uBaba anginike sona na?”
Ukuthethwa Kwecala LikaJesu
(Mat. 26:57; Mak. 14:53; Luk. 22:54)
12 Isigejane samabutho, induna yenkulungwane, nezikhonzi zabaJuda bambamba uJesu, bambopha. 13Bamhola, bamyisa ku-Anase kuqala, ngokuba engumukhwe kaKhayifase owayengumphristi omkhulu ngalowo nyaka. 14 Phela uKhayifase nguyena owaluleka abaJuda ngokuthi kungcono ukuba umuntu oyedwa afele abantu.
UPhethro Uphika UJesu
15USimoni Phethro nomunye umfundi owayaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu, bamlandela uJesu. UJesu wangena-ke egcekeni lomphristi omkhulu. 16Kepha uPhethro wayemi ngaphandle kwesango. Waphuma lowo mfundi owayaziwa ngumphristi omkhulu, wakhuluma nentombazane engumlindimnyango, yayisimngenisa uPhethro.
UPhethro Uphika UJesu
(Mat. 26:69; Mak. 14:66; Luk. 22:54)
17 Intombazana engumlindimnyango yayisithi kuPhethro: “Ngabe impela nawe awusiye yini omunye wabafundi balo muntu na?”
Wathi yena: “Angisiye.”
18Kwakumi lapho izinceku nezikhonzi zibase umlilo wamalahle, zotha, ngokuba kwakumakhaza; noPhethro wayemi nazo, otha umlilo.
Umphristi Omkhulu Ubuza UJesu
19Kepha umphristi omkhulu wabuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe nangemfundiso yakhe.
20 UJesu wamphendula, wathi: “Ngikhulumile esidlangalaleni ezweni. Ngezikhathi zonke, bengifundisa esinagogeni nasethempelini, lapho kubuthana khona bonke abaJuda, angikhulumanga lutho ngasese. 21Pho ubuzelani kimi na? Buza kulabo abezwile lokho engakukhuluma kubo; bona bayakwazi engakushoyo.”
22Esasho lokho, esinye isikhonzi esasimi eduze sammukula uJesu, sathi: “Uphendula umphristi omkhulu kanjalo na?”
23UJesu wasiphendula, wathi: “Uma ngikhulume kabi, fakaza ngalobo bubi; kodwa uma kukuhle, ungishayelani na?”
24U-Anase wamthumela eboshiwe kuKhayafase, umphristi omkhulu.
UPhethro Uphika UJesu
25 Kepha uSimoni Phethro wayemi, otha. Bathi-ke kuye: “Ngabe impela nawe awusiye yini omunye wabafundi bakhe na?”
Waphika wathi: “Angisiye.”
26Enye yezinceku zomphristi omkhulu, eyisihlobo salowo ondlebe yaso uPhethro wayeyinqumile, yathi: “Angikubonanga yini ensimini naye na?”
27UPhethro wabuye waphika; masinyane lakhala iqhude.
UJesu Ephambi KukaPilatu
(Mat. 27:11; Mak. 15:1; Luk. 23:1)
28 Khona bamhola uJesu esuka kuKhayafase, bamyisa enkundleni yokwehlulela; kwakusekuseni. Kepha bona kabangenanga enkundleni yokwehlulela ukuze bangazingcolisi, kodwa bakwazi ukudla iPhasika. 29Ngakho-ke uPilatu waphumela kubo ngaphandle, wathi: “Nimethwesa cala lini lo muntu na?”
30Baphendula, bathi kuye: “Uma lo muntu ubengenzanga okubi, ngabe asimlethanga kuwe.”
31 Ngakho-ke uPilatu, wathi kubo: “Mthatheni nina, nimehlulele ngomthetho wakini.”
AbaJuda bathi kuye: “Asivunyelwe thina ukubulala umuntu,” 32 lokho kwenzeka ukuze kufezeke izwi uJesu alikhulumayo, ekhomba indlela ayakufa ngayo.
33 UPilatu wabuye wangena endlini yokwehlulela, wabiza uJesu, wathi kuye: “Wena uyinkosi yabaJuda na?”
34UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Uzisholo lokho wena yini, noma abanye bakutshele kanjalo ngami na?”
35UPilatu waphendula, wathi: “Kanti ngingumJuda yini mina na? Isizwe sakini nabaphristi abakhulu bakulethe kimi; pho wenzeni na?”
36 UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Umbuso wami akusiwo owaleli lizwe. Uma umbuso wami ubungowaleli lizwe, izikhonzi zami beziyakungilwela ukuze nginganikelwa kubaJuda. Kepha manje umbuso wami akusiwo owalapha.”
37 Wayesethi uPilatu kuye: “Kanti uyinkosi ngempela na?”
UJesu waphendula, wathi: “Usho khona ukuthi ngiyinkosi; ngokuba ngazalelwa lokho, ngafikela lokho emhlabeni, ukuba ngifakazele iqiniso. Bonke abeqiniso bayalizwa izwi lami.”
38Wathi uPilatu kuye: “Iqiniso liyini na?”
Ukukhululwa KukaBharabha Nokugwetshwa KukaJesu
Esekushilo lokho wabuye waphumela kubaJuda, wathi kubo: “Angifumani cala kuye. 39 Kepha ninesiko lokuba nginikhululele omunye ngePhasika. Ngakho niyathanda yini ukuba nginikhululele inkosi yabaJuda na?”
40Bamemeza futhi bonke, bathi: “Hhayi lo muntu, kodwa uBharabha.”
Nakuba uBharabha wayengumphangi.
