NgokukaMakhu 14:1-11

Emva kwezinsuku ezimbili, kwaba khona iPhasika nomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo; abaphristi abakhulu nezazimthetho babefuna ithuba lokuthi bangambamba kanjani ngobuqili, bambulale. Base bethi: “Makungabi ngomkhosi, funa kusuke isiyaluyalu esizweni.” Kwathi eseseBhethaniya ehleli edla, endlini kaSimoni owayenochoko, kwafika owesifazane ephethe umfuma we-alabhaste wamafutha enadi lodwa, elibiza inani elikhulu. Wawuchoboza umfuma, wathela amafutha ekhanda likaJesu. Kepha abanye bathukuthela base bekhuluma bodwa, bethi: “Kungani kumoswa lawa mafutha na? Ngokuba lawa mafutha ngabe athengisiwe ngodaneriyu abangaphezu kwama-300, kwaphiwa abampofu.” Base bemthukuthelela owesifazane. Kepha uJesu wathi: “Myekeni; nimhluphelani na? Wenze umsebenzi omuhle kimi. Abampofu niyohlala ninabo njalo; ningabenzela okuhle noma nini uma nithanda, kodwa Mina aninami njalo. Wenze okungangamandla akhe; uwugcobile umzimba wami, ewugcobela ukuba umbelwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Nomaphi lapho liyakushunyayelwa khona ivangeli ezweni lonke, kuyakukhulunywa nangalokho akwenzileyo, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.” UJuda Iskariyothe, ongomunye wabali-12, waya kubaphristi abakhulu ukuba akhaphele uJesu kubo. Sebekuzwile lokho bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali. Wayesefuna ithuba elihle lokumkhaphela.
