Ngoba wenze isenzo esihle kimi. 11 Abampofu ninabo ngaso sonke isikhathi, kodwa ngeke nibe nami ngaso sonke isikhathi. 12 Ngoba lapho lona wesifazane ethela la mafutha anamakha phezu komzimba wami, ukwenze ngenjongo yokungilungiselela ukungcwatshwa. 13 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Nomaphi lapho lezi zindaba ezinhle zishunyayelwa khona emhlabeni wonke, lokhu akwenzile lona wesifazane nakho kuyokhulunywa ngakho njengento ayokhunjulwa ngayo. 14 Khona-ke omunye kwabayishumi nambili, lowo obizwa ngokuthi uJuda Iskariyothe, waya kubapristi abakhulu 15 wathi: Nizonginikani ukuze ngimkhaphele kini? Bamnqumela izinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamashumi amathathu. 16 Ngakho kusukela ngaleso sikhathi wayelokhu efuna ithuba elihle lokumkhaphela. 17 Ngosuku lokuqala lwamaqebelengwane angenamvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu, bathi: Ufuna sikulungisele kuphi ukuba udle iphasika? 18 Wathi: Ngenani emzini kuSibanibani nithi, UMfundisi uthi, Isikhathi sami esimisiwe siseduze; ngizogubha umkhosi wephasika kanye nabafundi bami kwakho. 19 Abafundi benza njengoba nje uJesu ebayalile, bazilungisa izinto zephasika. 20 Lapho sekuhlwile, wayehlezi etafuleni nabafundi abayishumi nambili. 21 Besadla, wathi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini, Omunye kini uzongikhaphela. 22 Belusizi kakhulu ngalokhu, baqala ngamunye ngamunye ukuthi kuye: Nkosi, akumina, akunjalo? 23 Ephendula wathi: Lowo ofaka isandla sakhe kanye nami esitsheni nguye ozongikhaphela. 24 Yiqiniso, iNdodana yomuntu iyahamba, njengoba nje kulotshiwe ngayo, kodwa maye kulowo muntu iNdodana yomuntu ekhashelwa ngaye! Bekuyoba kuhle kakhulu ngalowo muntu ukube wayengazalwanga. 25 UJuda, owayesezomkhaphela, ephendula wathi: Kungaba yimi, Rabi na? Wathi kuye: Wena ngokwakho ushilo. 26 Njengoba beqhubeka bedla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, futhi ngemva kokusho isibusiso, wasihlephula, wasinikeza abafundi, wathi: Thathani, yidlani. Lokhu kusho umzimba wami. 27 Wathatha nendebe, esebongile, wabanika yona, wathi: Phuzani kuyo, nonke; 28 ngoba lokhu kusho igazi lami lesivumelwano, elizothululwa ngenxa yabaningi ngenjongo yokuthethelelwa kwezono. 29 Kodwa ngiyanitshela: Kusukela manje kuqhubeke angisoze ngaphuza noma yini yalo mkhiqizo womvini kuze kube yilolo suku ngiwuphuza nani umusha embusweni kaBaba. 30 Ekugcineni, ngemva kokuhlabelela izindumiso, baphuma baya eNtabeni Yeminqumo. 31 Khona-ke uJesu wathi kubo: Nonke nizokhubeka ngami kulobu busuku, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi, Ngizoshaya umalusi, izimvu zomhlambi zihlakazeke. 32 Kodwa ngemva kokuba sengivusiwe, ngizonandulela ngiye eGalile. 33 Kodwa uPetru, ephendula, wathi kuye: Nakuba bonke abanye bekhubeka ngawe, mina angisoze ngakhubeka! 34 UJesu wathi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe, Kulobu busuku, ngaphambi kokuba iqhude likhale, wena uzongiphika kathathu. 35 UPetru wathi kuye: Ngisho noma kungadingeka ngife kanye nawe, angisoze ngakuphika. Bonke abanye abafundi nabo basho into efanayo. 36 Khona-ke uJesu wafika nabo endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iGetsemane, wathi kubafundi: Hlalani lapha phansi ngesikhathi ngisayothandaza laphaya. 37 Ethatha uPetru namadodana amabili kaZebedewu, waqala ukuba lusizi nokukhathazeka kakhulu. 38 Khona-ke wathi kubo: Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu, kuze kube sekufeni. Hlalani lapha nilinde kanye nami. 39 Eya phambili kancane, wawa ngobuso, wathandaza wathi: Baba, uma kungenzeka, le ndebe mayidlule kimi. Nokho, kungabi njengoba kuthanda mina, kodwa kube njengoba kuthanda wena. 40 Weza kubafundi wabathola belele, wathi kuPetru: Ingabe madoda beningelinde nehora elilodwa nje kanye nami? 41 Hlalani nilindile futhi nithandaze njalo, ukuze ningangeni esilingweni. Yebo, umoya uyalangazela, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka. 42 Waphinda, ngokwesibili, wahamba futhi wathandaza, wathi: Baba, uma kungenakwenzeka ukuba lokhu kudlule ngaphandle kokuba ngikuphuze, intando yakho mayenzeke. 43 Waphinde weza futhi wabathola belele, ngoba amehlo abo ayesinda. 44 Ngakho, ebashiya, waphinde wahamba wayothandaza okwesithathu, ephinda futhi esho izwi elifanayo. 45 Khona-ke weza kubafundi wathi kubo: Esikhathini esinjengalesi nilele niphumule! Bhekani! Ihora selisondele ukuba iNdodana yomuntu ikhashelwe ezandleni zezoni. 46 Sukumani, masihambe. Bhekani! Umkhapheli wami usesondele. 47 Esakhuluma, bheka! uJuda, omunye wabayishumi nambili, weza ekanye nesixuku esikhulu siphethe izinkemba nemishiza sivela kubapristi abakhulu namadoda amadala esizwe. 48 Manje umkhapheli wakhe wayebanike isibonakaliso, wathi: Lowo engimangayo, nguye; nimbambe. 49 Futhi eqonda ngqo kuJesu wathi: Sawubona, Rabi! wamanga ngesisa esikhulu. 50 Kodwa uJesu wathi kuye: Mfo, iyini injongo yokuba kwakho lapha? Khona-ke basondela, babeka izandla kuJesu bambamba. 51 Kodwa, bheka! omunye kulabo ababenoJesu welula isandla sakhe wahosha inkemba yakhe, wagalela inceku yompristi ophakeme wasusa indlebe yayo. 52 Khona-ke uJesu wathi kuye: Buyisela inkemba yakho endaweni yayo, ngoba bonke abaphatha inkemba bayobhubha ngenkemba. 53 Noma ucabanga ukuthi anginakunxusa yini kuBaba ukuba anginike ngalo mzuzwana amalegiyona ezingelosi angaphezu kwayishumi nambili? 54 Uma kuba njalo, imiBhalo ibiyogcwaliseka kanjani ukuthi kumelwe ukuba kwenzeke ngale ndlela? 55 Ngalelo hora uJesu wathi ezixukwini: Ingabe niphumele ukuzobamba mina niphethe izinkemba nemishiza njengokungathi nibhekene nomphangi? Usuku nosuku bengivame ukuhlala ethempelini ngifundisa, kodwa nokho aningibambanga. 56 Kodwa konke lokhu kuye kwenzeka ngenjongo yokuba kugcwaliseke imibhalo yabaprofethi. Khona-ke bonke abafundi bamshiya babaleka. 57 Labo ababamba uJesu bamyisa kuKayafase umpristi ophakeme, lapho kwakubuthene khona ababhali namadoda amadala. 58 Kodwa uPetru waqhubeka emlandela ekujana impela, waze wafika egcekeni lompristi ophakeme, futhi, ngemva kokungena ngaphakathi, wahlala nezikhonzi zasendlini ukuze abone umphumela. 59 Phakathi naleso sikhathi abapristi abakhulu nayo yonke iSanhedrini babefuna ubufakazi obungamanga ngoJesu ukuze bambulale, 60 kodwa ababutholanga, nakuba kwavela ofakazi abaningi bamanga. Kamuva kweza ababili 61 bathi: Lo muntu wathi, Mina ngingalidiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ngilakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu. 62 Ngemva kwalokho umpristi ophakeme wasukuma wathi kuye: Awunampendulo na? Kuyini lokhu laba abakufakaza ngawe? 63 Kodwa uJesu waqhubeka ethule. Ngakho umpristi ophakeme wathi kuye: Ngikufungisa uNkulunkulu ophilayo ukuba usitshele ukuthi unguye yini uKristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu! 64 UJesu wathi kuye: Wena ngokwakho ushilo. Nokho mina ngithi kini madoda, Kusukela manje kuqhubeke nizobona iNdodana yomuntu ihlezi ngakwesokunene samandla iza iphezu kwamafu ezulu. 65 Khona-ke umpristi ophakeme waklebhula izingubo zakhe zangaphandle, wathi: Uhlambalazile! Sisabadingelani ofakazi? Bhekani! Manje senikuzwile ukuhlambalaza. 66 Uyini umbono wenu? Baphendula bathi: Ufanelwe ukufa. 67 Khona-ke bamkhafulela ebusweni bamshaya ngezibhakela. Abanye bamshaya ngezimpama ebusweni, 68 bethi: Siprofethele, wena Kristu. Ubani okushayile? 69 UPetru wayehlezi ngaphandle egcekeni; futhi intombazane eyinceku yeza kuye, yathi: Nawe, futhi, ubunoJesu waseGalile! 70 Kodwa waphika phambi kwabo bonke, wathi: Angazi ukuthi ukhuluma ngani. 71 Ngemva kokuba esephumile waya endlini esesangweni, enye intombazane yambona yase ithi kulabo ababelapho: Lo muntu ubenoJesu umNazaretha. 72 Waphinda waphika futhi, wafunga, wathi: Angimazi lo muntu! 73 Ngemva kwesikhashana labo ababemi lapho beza bathi kuPetru: Ngokuqinisekile nawe futhi ungomunye wabo, ngoba eqinisweni, ulimi lwakho luyakuceba. 74 Khona-ke waqala ukuqalekisa nokufunga: Angimazi lo muntu! Masinyane iqhude lakhala. 75 UPetru wakhumbula izwi uJesu abelikhulumile, elithi: Ngaphambi kokuba iqhude likhale, uzongiphika kathathu. Waphumela ngaphandle wakhala kamunyu.Mathewu 26
