Wayesemnikela kubo ukuba abethelwe esiphambanweni.
Bamthatha-ke, bahamba naye. Ezithwalele isiphambano, bahamba naye, baya endaweni okuthiwa iNdawo Yekhanda, ngesiHebheru okuthiwa iGolgotha. Bambethela lapho nabanye ababili ababemphahlile uJesu.
UPilatu waloba isaziso, sashayelelwa esiphambanweni. Kwakulotshwe ukuthi: UJESU WASENAZARETHA, INKOSI YABAJUDA. AbaJuda abaningi basifunda lesi saziso, ngokuba indawo lapho ayebethelwe khona uJesu yayiseduze nomuzi. Kwakulotshwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiRoma, nangesiGriki. Abaphristi abakhulu babaJuda bathi kuPilatu: “Ungabhali ukuthi: ‘Inkosi yabaJuda,’ kodwa ukuthi Yena wathi: ‘Ngiyinkosi yabaJuda.’ ”
UPilatu waphendula, wathi: “Esengikulobile, ngikulobile.”
Kuthe amabutho esembethele uJesu esiphambanweni, ayesethatha izingubo zakhe, azehlukanisa amaqoqo amane, kwaba yilelo nalelo butho laba nesabelo, neyembe futhi. Kepha iyembe lalingenamthungo, lalukiwe lonke kusukela phezulu. Ngakho-ke abonisana odwa athi ngalo: “Asingalidabuli, kodwa asenze unkatho, ukuze kubonakale ukuthi lizakuba ngelikabani.”
Ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi:
“Babelana ngezingubo zami,
benza unkatho ngesembatho sami.”

Wayesethi kumfundi: “Bheka unyoko.”
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, lowo mfundi wamthatha uMariya, wamnakekela.
Emva kwalokho, uJesu azi ukuthi konke sekuphelelisiwe, ukuba kugcwaliseke umbhalo, wathi: “Ngomile.”
Kwakubekiwe lapho isitsha esigcwele iwayini elixutshwe noviniga; base bechoma ilula othini lwehisophi ligcwele uviniga, baliyisa emlonyeni wakhe. Kwathi ukuba uJesu awemukele uviniga, wayesethi: “Kufeziwe;” wagebisa ikhanda, wafa.
