NgokukaLuka 18:31-43

Wabasondeza kuye abali-12, wathi kubo: “Lalelani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema; konke okulotshwe ngabaphrofethi maqondana neNdodana yomuntu, kuzakugcwaliseka. Izakukhashelwa kwabezizwe, iklolodelwe, iphathwe kabi, ikhafulelwe ngamathe, bayishaye, bayibulale; kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu, izakuvuka.” Kepha abakuqondanga lokho; leli lizwi laliyimpicabadala kubo, abakuqondanga lokho akushoyo. Kwathi esesondela eJerikho, impumputhe ethile yayihleli ngasendleleni inqiba. Kuthe lapho izwa isixuku sidlula ngakuyo, yabuza yathi: “Ngabe kuyini lokhu na?” Base beyitshela bathi: “NguJesu waseNazaretha owedlulayo.” Yayisimemeza ithi: “Jesu, Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele!” Ababehamba ngaphambili bayikhuza ukuba ithule, kodwa kwayilapho isho kakhulu ngengila, ithi: “Ndodana kaDavide, ngihawukele!” UJesu wema, wabayala ukuba bayilethe kuye. Kuthe isisondele wayibuza wathi: “Ufuna ukuba ngikwenzeleni na?” Yathi: “Nkosi, ukuba ngibuye ngibone.” UJesu wathi kuyo: “Bona! Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile.” Yayisibona khona manjalo, yamlandela imdumisa uNkulunkulu, nabantu bonke bekubona lokho bamdumisa uNkulunkulu.
