NgokukaLuka 22:54-71

Base bembamba, bahamba naye, bamyisa endlini yomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro walandela ekude. Sebewubasile umlilo phakathi negceke, bahlala phansi ndawonye; uPhethro wahlala nabo. Intombazana ethile, eyisisebenzi, imbona ehlezi otha umlilo, yamgqolozela, yayisithi: “Impela nalo ubenaye.” Kepha waphika, wathi: “Sifazane, angimazi.” Emva kwesikhashana omunye wambona, wathi: “Nawe ungomunye wabo.” Kepha uPhethro, wathi: “Muntundini, angisiye.” Sekwedlule isikhathi esingaba yihora, omunye umuntu othile wagcizelela, wathi: “Impela lo ubenaye, ngokuba futhi ungowaseGalile.” Kepha uPhethro wathi: “Muntundini, angazi ukuthi ukhuluma ngani.” Masinyane esakhuluma, lakhala iqhude. INkosi yayisiphenduka, yambheka uPhethro. UPhethro walikhumbula izwi leNkosi, njengokuba yayithe kuye: “Iqhude lingakakhali namuhla, uzakungiphika kathathu.” Waphumela phandle, wakhala kalusizi. Amadoda ayembambile uJesu, ambhinqa emshaya. Ammboza ubuso, ambuza athi: “Phrofetha ukuthi ngubani okushayileyo na?” Basho nokunye okuningi, bemhlambalaza. Kuthe sekusile, kwaqoqana umkhandlu wamalunga abantu, abaphristi abakhulu, nezazimthetho, bamyisa esigcawini somkhandlu wabo omkhulu, bathi: “Uma unguKhristu, sitshele.” Wathi kubo: “Uma nginitshela, anisoze nakholwa; noma nginibuza, anisoze naphendula. Kepha kusukela manje iNdodana yomuntu izakuhlala ngakwesokunene samandla kaNkulunkulu.” Base bembuza bonke, bethi: “Kanti uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu yini na?” Wathi kubo: “Kusho nina ukuthi ngiyiyo.” Bathi: “Pho sisadinga buphi ubufakazi na? Ngokuba sesizizwele thina uqobo ezisholo yena ngowakhe umlomo.”
