Ukwakhiwa Kozungu Lokubulala UJesu
(Mat. 26:1,6; Luk. 22:1; Joh. 12:1)
1 Emva kwezinsuku ezimbili, kwaba khona iPhasika nomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo; abaphristi abakhulu nezazimthetho babefuna ithuba lokuthi bangambamba kanjani ngobuqili, bambulale. 2Base bethi: “Makungabi ngomkhosi, funa kusuke isiyaluyalu esizweni.”
Uwesifazane Ugcoba UJesu EBhethaniya
3 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.
4Kepha abanye bathukuthela base bekhuluma bodwa, bethi: “Kungani kumoswa lawa mafutha na? 5Ngokuba lawa mafutha ngabe athengisiwe ngodaneriyu abangaphezu kwama-300, kwaphiwa abampofu.”
Base bemthukuthelela owesifazane.
6Kepha uJesu wathi: “Myekeni; nimhluphelani na? Wenze umsebenzi omuhle kimi. 7 Abampofu niyohlala ninabo njalo; ningabenzela okuhle noma nini uma nithanda, kodwa Mina aninami njalo. 8Wenze okungangamandla akhe; uwugcobile umzimba wami, ewugcobela ukuba umbelwe ngaphambi kwesikhathi. 9Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Nomaphi lapho liyakushunyayelwa khona ivangeli ezweni lonke, kuyakukhulunywa nangalokho akwenzileyo, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye.”
Umphumela Wokumkhaphela UJesu
(Mat. 26:14; Luk. 22:3)
10UJuda Iskariyothe, ongomunye wabali-12, waya kubaphristi abakhulu ukuba akhaphele uJesu kubo. 11Sebekuzwile lokho bathokoza, bathembisa ukumnika imali. Wayesefuna ithuba elihle lokumkhaphela.
Ukumiswa Kwesidlo Esingcwele
(Mat. 26:17; Luk. 22:7; Joh. 13:21)
12 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lwesinkwa esingenamvubelo okwakuhlatshwa ngalo iPhasika, abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: “Uthanda ukuba siyokulungiselela kuphi ukuba udle iPhasika na?”
13Wayesethuma ababili kubafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Hambani niye emzini; nizakuhlangana nomuntu othwele imbiza yamanzi, mlandeleni. 14Lapho engena khona niyokuthi kumninindlu: ‘UMfundisi uthi: “Iphi indlu yami lapho ngingadlela khona iPhasika nabafundi bami na?” ’ 15Yena uzakunikhombisa ikamelo elikhulu eliphezulu, elendlelweyo, lilungisiwe; silungiseleni khona.”
16Bahamba abafundi bafika emzini, bafica kunjengokuba eshilo; base belungisa iPhasika.
17Wafika kusihlwa nabali-12. 18 Sebehlezi ekudleni, uJesu wathi: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini omunye phakathi kwenu, odla kanye nami, uzakungikhaphela.”
19Baqala ukuba nosizi, bathi kuye ngamunye: “Kungaba yimi na?”
20Wathi kubo: “Ngomunye wabali-12, okha kanye nami esitsheni. 21INdodana yomuntu izakuhamba njengalokhu kulotshiwe ngayo, kodwa maye, kulowo muntu iNdodana yomuntu eyakukhashelwa ngaye! Kuyakuba ngcono kulowo muntu ukuba kazalwanga.”
UJesu Udla IPhasika Nabafundi Bakhe
22 Kuthe besadla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wasibusisa, wasihlephula, wanika abafundi bakhe, wathi: “Thathani lokhu: kungumzimba wami.”
23Wayesethabatha indebe, wabonga, wabanika, baphuza kuso bonke.
24 Wathi kubo: “Lokhu kuyigazi lami lesivumelwano elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi. 25Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: angisayukuphuza okwesithelo somvini, kuze kufike lolo lusuku engiyakusiphuza ngalo sisisha embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
26Kwathi sebehlabelele, baphuma baya eNtabeni Yeminqumo.
UJesu Ubikezela Ngokuphikwa NguPhethro
27 UJesu wathi kubo: “Nonke nizakukhubeka, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Ngiyakushaya umelusi, izimvu zihlakazeke.’ 28 Kepha emva kokuvuswa kwami ngiyakunandulela ukuya eGalile.”
29UPhethro wathi kuye: “Noma bonke bangakuhlamuka, kodwa mina ngeke.”
30UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: namhlanje, ngalobu busuku, lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzakungiphika kathathu.”
31Kepha uPhethro wagcizelela ngamandla, wathi: “Noma ngabe kubiza ukuba ngife nawe, angisoze ngakuphika.”
Basho kanjalo bonke.
EGethsemane
(Mat. 26:36; Luk. 22:39)
32Base befika endaweni okuthiwa iGethsemane; wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, ngisaya kokhuleka.”
33Wayesethatha uPhethro, uJakobe, noJohane; waqala ukubhocobala nokuba nosizi. 34Wathi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha, nilinde.”
35Wayeseqhubeka ibangana, wawa phansi, wathandaza ukuba uma kungenzeka, mawedlule lo mzuzu. 36Wathi: “Abba, Baba! Konke kungenzeka kuwe. Susa kimi lesi sitsha, kodwa kungabi njengokuthanda kwami, kepha njengokuba Wena uthanda.”
37Wayesebuyela kubafundi bakhe, wabafumana belele; wayesethi kuPhethro: “Simoni, ulele na? Ubungelinde nje ihora libe linye na? 38Lindani, nikhuleke ukuze ningangeni ekulingweni. Umoya uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.”
39Wabuye wasuka wayokhuleka, ephinda lona lelo lizwi. 40Waphinde wabuyela kubo, wabafica futhi belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayesinda ubuthongo; abazanga ukuthi bangamphendula bathini.
41Wabuyela kubo ngokwesithathu, wathi: “Namanje nisalele, niphumule. Kwanele, selifikile ihora; iNdodana yomuntu isizokhashelwa ezandleni zezoni. 42Sukumani sihambe. Niyabona-ke, ongikhaphelayo usesondele.”
Ukukhashelwa Nokuboshwa KukaJesu
(Mat. 26:47; Luk. 22:47; Joh. 18:2)
43Kuthe nje uJesu engakaligwinyi, kwase kufika uJuda, omunye wabali-12, nesixuku esihlome ngezinkemba nezinduku, sithunywe abaphristi abakhulu, izazimthetho namalunga. 44Lo omkhaphelayo wayebanike uphawu lokuthi: “Lowo engiyakumanga, nguye; mbambeni, nihambe naye nimqaphile.”
45Esefikile uJuda wasondela kuJesu ngokushesha, wathi: “Rabi!” Wayesemanga. 46Base bemdumela, bambopha. 47Omunye kwababemi lapho wahosha inkemba, wayigenca inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayinquma indlebe.
48UJesu wathatha wathi kubo: “Niphume sengathi nize kumphangi, niphethe izinkemba nezinduku ukuba nizongibamba. 49 Benginani imihla ngemihla ethempelini, ngifundisa, anizange ningibambe; kodwa ifanele ukugcwaliseka imibhalo.”
50Base bemshiya bonke, babaleka. 51Insizwa ethile eyayimlandela, yayembethe ingubo yelineni emzimbeni; bayibamba, 52kodwa yayishiya ingubo yayo yelineni, yabaleka inqunu.
UJesu Uyiswa Kumphristi Omkhulu
53Base bemhola uJesu, bamyisa kumphristi omkhulu, kwabuthana bonke abaphristi abakhulu, amalunga nezazimthetho. 54UPhethro wamlandela ebuqamama, waze wangena egcekeni lomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro wahlala nezikhonzi, otha umlilo.
55Abaphristi abakhulu nomkhandlu wonke bafuna ubufakazi ngoJesu ukuze bambulale, kodwa ababutholanga. 56Abaningi bafakaza amanga ngaye, kodwa ubufakazi babo abuhlangananga.
57Kwasukuma abathile, bafakaza amanga ngaye, bathi: 58 “Thina simzwile ethi: ‘Ngiyakulidiliza leli thempeli elenziwe ngezandla, kuthi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu, ngakhe elinye elingenziwanga ngezandla.’ ”
59Nakuba sekunjalo, ubufakazi babo abuzange buhlangane.
60Kwasukuma umphristi omkhulu phakathi kwabo, wabuza uJesu, wathi: “Awuphenduli ngalutho kulobu bufakazi abakumangalela ngabo na? Kuyikho yini lokhu abakufakaza ngawe?”
61 Kepha wathula, akazange aphendule ngalutho. Umphristi omkhulu wabuye wambuza, wathi kuye: “Ngabe Wena unguKhristu, iNdodana yoBongekayo na?”
62 UJesu wathi: “Nginguye. Niyakuyibona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene saMandla, iza ngamafu ezulu.”
63Khona umphristi omkhulu waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wathi: “Sisabadingelani ofakazi na? 64 Senizizwele ehlambalaza; pho nithini?”
Bonke bamlahla ngecala, bethi ufanelwe ngukufa. 65Abanye baqala ukumkhafulela ngamathe, nokumgubuzela ubuso nokumshaya, bethi kuye: “Phrofetha.”
Nezikhonzi zamthatha, zammukula.
UPhethro Uphika UJesu
(Mat. 26:69; Luk. 22:54; Joh. 18:17,25)
66Kwathi uPhethro esesegcekeni ezansi, kwafika enye yamantombazane omphristi omkhulu, 67yathi ukumbona uPhethro otha umlilo, yambhekisisa, yayisithi kuye: “Nawe, ubunoJesu waseNazaretha.”
68Kepha waphika, wathi: “Angikwazi, futhi angikuqondi lokhu okushoyo;” waphumela phandle enkundleni; laselikhala iqhude.
69Intombazane imbona, yabuye yathi futhi kulabo ababemi lapho: “Lo ungomunye wabo.”
70Kepha uPhethro wabuye waphika.
Emva kwesikhashana futhi labo ababemi lapho bathi kuPhethro: “Impela wena ungomunye wabo, ngokuba ungowaseGalile.”
71UPhethro wayeseqala ukwethuka, futhi wafunga ethi: “Angimazi lo muntu enikhuluma ngaye.”
72Masinyane laselikhala iqhude okwesibili. UPhethro wayeselikhumbula izwi alisho uJesu kuye, ethi: “Iqhude lingakakhali kabili, uzakungiphika kathathu.”
Waqhumuka wakhala.
