1Kwasekusukuma ixuku labo lonke, lamusa kuPilatu.

2Baqala ukummangalela, besithi: Simficile lo eduhisa isizwe, esalela ukuthela kuKesari, esithi nguye onguKristu iNkosi.

3UPilatu wasembuza, wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda yini? Wasemphendula wathi: Uyatsho wena.

4Wasesithi uPilatu kubapristi abakhulu lemaxukwini: Kangitholi cala kulumuntu.

5Kodwa baqinisa, besithi: Udunga abantu, efundisa kuyo yonke iJudiya, eqala eGalili kuze kufike lapha.

6Lapho uPilatu esizwa kuthiwa iGalili wabuza ukuthi lumuntu ungumGalili yini.

7Kwathi esezwile ukuthi ungowombuso kaHerodi, wamthumela kuHerodi, owayekhona laye eJerusalema ngalezonsuku.

8Kwathi uHerodi embona uJesu wathokoza kakhulu; ngoba wayekade ethanda ukumbona, ngoba wayezwile okunengi ngaye; wayethemba ukuthi uzabona isibonakaliso esithile sisenziwa nguye.

9Wambuza ngamazwi amanengi; kodwa yena kamphendulanga lutho.

10Abapristi abakhulu lababhali babemi, bemmangalela ngamandla.

11UHerodi lamabutho akhe bamyangisa, ba m klolodela, basebemgqokisa isembatho esikhazimulayo, bambuyisela kuPilatu.

12Ngalolosuku uHerodi kanye loPilatu baba ngabangane omunye komunye; ngoba ngaphambi kwalokhu babelobutha phakathi kwabo.

13UPilatu wasebizela ndawonye abapristi abakhulu lababusi labantu,

14wathi kubo: Limlethile kimi lumuntu, ngokungathi ungoduhisa abantu; njalo khangelani, mina ngimhlolile phambi kwenu, kodwa kangitholanga cala kulumuntu ngalezozinto elimmangalela ngazo;

15hatshi ngitsho loHerodi; ngoba ngilithumeze kuye, njalo khangelani, kakulalutho olufanele ukufa olwenziwe nguye.

16Ngakho ngizamtshaya ngi m khulule.

17Kwakufanele ukuthi abakhululele abe munye ngomkhosi.

18Bamemeza bonke kanyekanye besithi: Msuse lo, usikhululele uBarabasi

19(owayephoselwe entolongweni ngenxa yomvukela othile owenzeka phakathi komuzi langenxa yokubulala).

20Ngakho uPilatu wabuya wakhuluma labo, efuna ukumkhulula uJesu.

21Kodwa bamemeza, besithi: Bethela, mbethele!

22Wasesithi kubo ngokwesithathu: Ngoba lo enze bubi bani? Kangitholanga kuye icala afanele ukufa ngalo; ngakho ngiza m tshaya ngimkhulule.

23Kodwa baqinisa ngamazwi amakhulu, befuna ukuthi abethelwe; lamazwi abo lawabapristi abakhulu aphumelela.

24UPilatu wasequma ukuthi kwenziwe isicelo sabo.

25Wasebakhululela lowo ababemcelile owayephoselwe entolongweni ngenxa yomvukela lokubulala; kodwa uJesu wamnikela entandweni yabo.

26Kwathi sebemqhuba, babamba uSimoni othile umKurene owayevela emaphandleni, bamethesa isiphambano, ukuthi asi thwale ngemva kukaJesu.

27Laselimlandela ixuku elikhulu labantu, labesifazana labo ababekhala bemlilela.

28Kodwa uJesu ephendukela kubo wathi: Madodakazi eJerusalema, lingangikhaleli mina, kodwa zikhaleleni lina labantwana benu,

29ngoba khangelani, ziyeza insuku abazakutsho ngazo ukuthi: Zibusisiwe inyumba, lezizalo ezingazalanga, lamabele angamunyisanga.

30Khona bezaqalisa ukuthi ezintabeni: Welani phezu kwethu; lemaqaqeni: Sisibekeleni.

31Ngoba uba besenza lezizinto esihlahleni esimanzi, kuzakwenzakalani kwesomileyo?

32Kwaqhutshwa labanye abenzi bobubi ababili, ukuthi babulawe kanye laye.

33Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa luKhakhayi, bambethela khona, labenzi bobubi, omunye ngakwesokunene, lomunye ngakwesokhohlo.

34UJesu wasesithi: Baba, bathethelele; ngoba kabakwazi abakwenzayo. Njalo babelana izembatho zakhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa.

35Labantu bema babukela. Lababusi kanye labo ba m klolodela, besithi: Wasindisa abanye, kazisindise yena, uba yena enguKristu, okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

36Labebutho bamklolodela, beza kuye bamnika iviniga,

37besithi: Uba wena uyiNkosi yamaJuda, zisindise wena.

38Kwakukhona lombhalo ngaphezu kwakhe kulotshiwe ngamabala esiGriki langesiRoma langesiHebheru othi: LO UYINKOSI YAMAJUDA.

39Lomunye wabenzi bobubi ababelengisiwe wamthuka, esithi: Uba wena unguKristu, zisindise wena lathi.

40Kodwa omunye waphendula emkhuza, esithi: Wena kawumesabi yini uNkulunkulu, lokhu lawe ukulokhukulahlwa?

41Thina kambe kusilungele, ngoba semukela okulingene ukwenza kwethu; kodwa lo kenzanga lutho olungafanelanga.

42Wasesithi kuJesu: Ungikhumbule, Nkosi, lapha ufika embusweni wakho.

43UJesu wasesithi kuye: Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Lamuhla uzakuba lami eParadise.

44Kwakungaba lihola lesithupha*, kwaba khona ubumnyama phezu komhlaba wonke kwaze kwaba lihola lesificamunwemunye*,

45futhi ilanga lalifiphaziwe, leveyili lethempeli ladatshulwa phakathi.

46UJesu wasememeza ngelizwi elikhulu esithi: Baba, ezandleni zakho ngibeka umoya wami; esetshilo lokhu waphefumula okokucina.

47Kwathi induna yekhulu isibonile okwenzekileyo, yamdumisa uNkulunkulu, isithi: Isibili lumuntu ubelungile.

48Lamaxuku wonke ayebuthene ukubukela lokho, sebebonile izinto ezenzekileyo, babuyela bezitshaya izifuba.

49Bonke abazana laye, labesifazana ababemlandela bevela eGalili, bema khatshana, bebona lezizinto.

50Njalo khangela, indoda ethiwa nguJosefa, ilunga lomphakathi, indoda elungileyo eqotho;

51yena wayengavumelananga lecebo lesenzo sabo; waye vela eArimathiya umuzi wamaJuda, laye ngokwakhe wayelindele umbuso kaNkulunkulu;

52lowo wasuka waya kuPilatu wacela isidumbu sikaJesu.

53Wasesethula wasigoqela ngelembu elicolekileyo, wasibeka engcwabeni elaligujwe edwaleni, lapho okwakungazanga kubekwe khona umuntu.

54Kwakulusuku lwamalungiselelo, lesabatha laselisondela.

55Labesifazana, ababeze laye bevela eGalili, balandela, balibona ingcwaba, lokuthi isidumbu sibekwe njani.

56Basebebuyela emuva balungisa amakha lamagcobo. Ngesabatha basebephumula njengokomlayo.
