NgokukaMakhu 14:53-65

Base bemhola uJesu, bamyisa kumphristi omkhulu, kwabuthana bonke abaphristi abakhulu, amalunga nezazimthetho. UPhethro wamlandela ebuqamama, waze wangena egcekeni lomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro wahlala nezikhonzi, otha umlilo. Abaphristi abakhulu nomkhandlu wonke bafuna ubufakazi ngoJesu ukuze bambulale, kodwa ababutholanga. Abaningi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kodwa ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga. Kwasukuma abathile, bafakaza amanga ngaye, bathi: “Thina simzwile ethi: ‘Ngiyakulidiliza leli thempeli elenziwe ngezandla, kuthi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu, ngakhe elinye elingenziwanga ngezandla.’ ” Nakuba sekunjalo, ubufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane. Kwasukuma umphristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo, wabuza uJesu, wathi: “Awuphenduli ngalutho kulobu bufakazi abakumangalela ngabo na? Kuyikho yini lokhu abakufakaza ngawe?” Kepha wathula, akazange aphendule ngalutho. Umphristi omkhulu wabuye wambuza, wathi kuye: “Ngabe Wena unguKhristu, iNdodana yoBongekayo na?” UJesu wathi: “Nginguye. Niyakuyibona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene saMandla, iza ngamafu ezulu.” Khona umphristi omkhulu waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wathi: “Sisabadingelani ofakazi na? Senizizwele ehlambalaza; pho nithini?” Bonke bamlahla ngecala, bethi ufanelwe ngukufa. Abanye baqala ukumkhafulela ngamathe, nokumgubuzela ubuso nokumshaya, bethi kuye: “Phrofetha.” Nezikhonzi zamthatha, zammukula.
