1UMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo owawubizwa ngokuthi liPhasika wawususondele, 2njalo abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho babedinga enye indlela yokumsusa uJesu, ngoba babesesaba abantu. 3USathane wasengena kuJudasi owayethiwa ngu-Iskariyothi, omunye wabalitshumi lambili. 4UJudasi waya kubaphristi abakhulu lezikhulu zabavikeli bethempeli wabonisana labo ukuthi amnikele njani uJesu. 5Bathokoza kakhulu, basebevuma ukumupha imali. 6Wavuma, wasemelela ithuba lokunikela uJesu kubo ngesikhathi kungelaxuku labantu.Isidlo Sokucina
7Lwaselufika usuku lweSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwakusenziwa ngalo umhlatshelo wewundlu lePhasika. 8UJesu wathuma uPhethro loJohane wathi, “Hambani liyesilungisela ukuthi siyekudla iPhasika.”9Babuza bathi, “Ufuna siyelilungisela ngaphi?”
10Waphendula wathi, “Lizakuthi nje lingena edolobheni, lizahlangana lendoda iphethe inkonxa yamanzi. Liyilandele kuleyondlu ezangena kuyo, 11beselisithi kumninindlu, ‘Umfundisi uyabuza uthi: Ingaphi indlu yezethekeli, lapho engingadlela khona iPhasika labafundi bami?’ 12Izalitshengisa ikamelo laphezulu elikhulu, elilungisiweyo. Yenzani amalungiselo khonapho.”
13Bahamba bayafica izinto zimi njengokutshelwa kwabo nguJesu. Ngakho balilungisa iPhasika.
14Kwathi isikhathi sesifikile uJesu wahlala etafuleni labapostoli bakhe. 15Wasesithi kubo, “Bengitshiseka kakhulu ukudla iPhasika leli lani ngingakahlupheki. 16Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi kangisoze ngiphinde ngilidle njalo lize lizuze ukugcwaliseka embusweni kaNkulunkulu.”
17Esethethe inkezo wabonga wasesithi, “Kuthatheni lokhu likwabelane. 18Ngoba ngiyalitshela ukuthi angiyikuphinda nginathe okwesithelo sevini umbuso kaNkulunkulu uze ufike.”
19Wasethatha isinkwa, wabonga wasesihlephuna wabapha, wathi, “Lo ngumzimba wami ophiwe lina; kwenzeni lokhu kube yisikhumbuzo sami.”
20Ngaleyondlela, ngemva kokudla kwakusihlwa wathatha inkezo, esithi, “Inkezo le iyisivumelwano esitsha egazini lami, elichithelwa lina. 21Kodwa isandla sakhe lowo ozanginikela sikanye lesami etafuleni. 22INdodana yoMuntu izahamba njengoba kumisiwe, kodwa maye kulowomuntu oyinikelayo.” 23Baqala ukubuzana ukuthi kambe ngabe ngubani kubo owayezakwenza lokhu.
24Njalo kwaba lokuphikisana phakathi kwabo mayelana lokuthi ngubani kubo owayebonakala emkhulu kulabo bonke. 25UJesu wathi kubo, “Amakhosi abeZizwe azitshengisela amandla awo kulabo ababusayo; leziphathamandla zakhona zibizwa ngokuthi Mcoli. 26Kodwa akumelanga libe njalo. Endaweni yalokho, lowo omkhulu kulani lonke kabe njengomncinyane kini lonke, lalowo obusayo abe nguye okhonza abanye. 27Kambe ngubani omkhulu kulomunye, lowo ohlezi etafuleni yokudla loba lowo ophakayo na? Kakusilowo osetafuleni na? Kodwa mina ngiphakathi kwenu njengalowo oliphakelayo. 28Liyilabo abame lami ebunzimeni bami. 29Ngakho ngiyalinika umbuso njengoba uBaba wanginika lami, 30ukuze lidle njalo linathe etafuleni lami embusweni wami njalo lihlale ezihlalweni zobukhosi, lisahlulela izizwana zika-Israyeli ezilitshumi lambili.
31 Simoni, Simoni uSathane usecele ukulihlungula lonke njengengqoloyi. 32Kodwa sengikukhulekele wena Simoni, ukuthi ukholo lwakho lungaze lwawela phansi. Ubokuthi nxa usuphendukile uqinise abafowenu.”
33Kodwa waphendula wathi, “Nkosi, ngizimisele ukuhamba lawe entolongweni lasekufeni.”
34UJesu waphendula wathi, “Ngiyakutshela, Phethro, ukuthi iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzaphika kathathu ukuthi uyangazi.”
35UJesu wasebabuza wathi, “Ngize ngilithume lingelamxhaka, loba isikhwama kumbe amanyathela, kukhona yini elake lakusilela?”
Baphendula bathi, “Akubanga lalutho.”
36Wathi, kubo, “Kodwa manje nxa ulesikhwama semali, sithathe, kanye lomgodla; njalo nxa ungelankemba, thengisa isigqoko sakho uyithenge. 37Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Wabalwa ndawonye lezoni’ ▼

; njalo ngiyalitshela ukuthi lokhu kumele kugcwaliseke kimi. Yebo, lokho okubhaliweyo ngami sekufika ekugcwalisweni kwakho.” 38Abafundi bathi, “Khangela, Nkosi, nanzi inkemba ezimbili.”
Waphendula uJesu wathi, “Kwanele.”
UJesu Ukhuleka ENtabeni Yama-Oliva
39UJesu wahamba njengenjayelo waya eNtabeni yama-Oliva, abafundi bakhe bamlandela. 40Esefikile kuleyondawo, wathi kubo, “Khulekani ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.” 41Watsheda kubo okwebanga lokuphosa ilitshe, waguqa phansi wakhuleka wathi, 42“Baba, nxa uthanda susa inkezo le kimi; kodwa akungabi yintando yami, kodwa kwenziwe eyakho.” 43Ingilosi yabonakala kuye ivela ezulwini yamqinisa. 44Kwathi edabukile kakhulu, wakhuleka ngokutshiseka, izithukuthuku zakhe zangathi ligazi lithontela phansi.45Wathi esephakeme ekukhulekeni wabuyela kubafundi bakhe wabafica belele, bekhathele ngenxa yosizi. 46Wababuza wathi, “Kungani lilele na? Vukani likhuleke ukuze lingaweli ekulingweni.”
UJesu Uyabotshwa
47Kwathi elokhu esakhuluma kwafika ixuku labantu, indoda ethiwa nguJudasi omunye wabalitshumi lambili, wayebahola. Wasondela kuJesu ukumanga, 48kodwa uJesu wambuza wathi, “Judasi, uyayinikela na iNdodana yoMuntu ngokuyanga?”49Kwathi abalandeli bakaJesu sebebona okwasekuzakwenzeka bathi, “Nkosi, sigalele yini ngenkemba zethu?” 50Omunye wabo wayigalela inceku yomphristi omkhulu, wayiquma indlebe yayo yokunene.
51Kodwa uJesu waphendula wathi, “Kakufuneki lokhu!” Waseyibamba indlebe yalowomuntu wamsilisa.
52UJesu wasesithi kubaphristi abakhulu, lezikhulu zabalindi bethempeli kanye labadala bebandla ababemlandile, “Ngikhokhela umvukela yini lize liphethe izinkemba lenduku? 53Zonke insuku bengilani emagumeni ethempeli, kodwa kalizange lingithinte. Kodwa lesi yisikhathi senu, lapho kubusa umnyama.”
UPhethro Ulandula UJesu
54Bamdumela, bamusa endlini yomphristi omkhulu. UPhethro wayemlandela ebucwala. 55Kodwa kwathi sebebase umlilo phakathi kweguma bahlala phansi ndawonye, uPhethro wahlala phansi labo. 56Intombazana eyisisebenzi yambona ehlezi khonapho ekukhanyeni komlilo. Yamkhangelisisa yathi, “Indoda le yayilaye.”57Kodwa yena waphika wathi, “Ntombazana, kangimazi.”
58Ngemva kwesikhatshana omunye wambona wathi, “Lawe ungomunye wabo.”
UPhethro waphendula wathi, “Ndoda, angisuye.”
59Sekudlule phose ihola omunye wagcizelela wathi, “Ngeqiniso umuntu lo wayelaye, ngoba ungumGalile.”
60Waphendula uPhethro wathi, “Ndoda, angikwazi okhuluma ngakho!” Elokhu esakhuluma, iqhude lakhala. 61INkosi yatshibilika, yamkhangela yamuthi nhlo uPhethro. UPhethro waselikhumbula ilizwi iNkosi eyayilikhulumile kuye isithi: “Iqhude lingakakhali lamuhla, uzangiphika kathathu.” 62Ngakho wasephumela ngaphandle wakhala kabuhlungu.
Amabutho Ahoza UJesu
63Amadoda ayelinde uJesu aqalisa ukumhoza lokumtshaya. 64Amvala amehlo athi kuye, “Phrofitha! Ngubani okutshayileyo?” 65Amthuka ngezindlela ezinengi.UJesu Phambi KukaPhilathu LoHerodi

70Bonke babuza bathi, “Kutsho ukuthi-ke uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu na?”
Waphendula wathi, “Liqondile ukuthi ngiyiyo.”
