NgokukaLuka 23:26-43

Kuthe besahamba naye uJesu, babamba uSimoni othile waseKhurene, owayevela emakhaya. Bametshathisa isiphambano walandela emuva kukaJesu. Kwakulandela isixuku esikhulu, kukhona nabesifazane ababemkhalela, bekhihla isililo. Kepha uJesu waphendukela kubo, wathi: “Madodakazi aseJerusalema, ningangikhaleli Mina, kodwa zikhaleleni nina nabantwana benu. Ngokuba izinsuku ziyeza abayakuthi ngazo: ‘Zibusisiwe izinyumba nezibeletho ezingazalanga, namabele angancelisanga.’ Khona “bayakuqala bathi ezintabeni: ‘Welani phezu kwethu,’ nasemagqumeni, bathi: ‘Sisibekeleni.’ “Ngokuba uma benza lokho emthini oluhlaza, kuyakuba njani-ke kowomileyo na?” Kwakukhona nabanye, izelelesi ezimbili, ezaziqhutshwa ukuba ziyobulawa kanye naye. Kuthe sebefikile endaweni okuthiwa iKhanda, bambethela lapho uJesu nezelelesi, esinye singakwesokunene esinye singakwesokhohlo. UJesu wathi: “Baba, bathethelele, ngokuba abakwazi abakwenzayo.” Babelana ngezingubo zakhe, benzelana unkatho. Abantu bema, bebukela, kanti ababusi babemklolodela, bethi: “Wasindisa abanye; makazisindise Yena, uma enguKhristu, okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.” Namabutho ambhinqa, eza kuye, amnika isimuncwana sewayini, ethi: “Uma uyinkosi yabaJuda, zisindise.” Kwakukhona nombhalo phezu kwekhanda lakhe, othi: LO YINKOSI YABAJUDA. Esinye sezelelesi esasiphanyekiwe, samhlambalaza sathi: “Wena awusiye yini uKhristu na? Zisindise kanye nathi.” Kepha esinye saphendula, sasithethisa sathi: “Kanti awumesabi yini uNkulunkulu, ingani nawe uthole isigwebo esifanayo na? Thina kusifanele, ngokuba sijeziselwa izenzo zethu, kepha lo akenzanga lutho olubi.” Sase sithi: “Jesu, uze ungikhumbule uma usufike embusweni wakho.” Wathi kuso: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: namuhla uzakuba nami ePharadisi.”
