Ukubotshwa kukaJesu lokuthethwa kwecala lakhe

47Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, kwafika uJudasi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili ce, lexuku elikhulu lilaye elilezinkemba lezinduku, livela kubapristi abakhulu labadala babantu cf. 48Laye omnikelayo wayebanike isiboniso, esithi: Lowo engizamanga, nguye; limbambe cg. 49Njalo wahle wasondela kuJesu wathi: Mpilo enhle, Rabi ch! Wasemanga ci. 50UJesu wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ulandeni cj? Basebesondela bamdumela uJesu ngezandla, bambamba. 51Futhi khangela, omunye walabo ababeloJesu ck welula isandla, wakhokha inkemba yakhe, wagadla inceku yompristi omkhulu waquma indlebe yayo cl. 52UJesu wasesithi kuye: Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo; ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bazabhubha ngenkemba cm. 53Kumbe ucabanga ukuthi ngingemcele uBaba yini khathesi, futhi anginike amabutho amakhulu ezingilosi cn edlula itshumi lambili co? 54Pho ingagcwaliseka njani imibhalo, ukuthi kumele ukuthi kube njalo cp? 55Ngalelohola uJesu wathi emaxukwini: Liphume njengokuyamelana lomphangi cq yini lilezinkemba lezinduku ukuzangibamba cr?
