1 Zvino chaunga chavo chese chidosumuka, chichimuendesa pamberi paPirato. 2 Futi vadothanga kumupomera, vachiti, "Tidowana murume uyu achitsambutsa rudzi hwedu, achitirambidza kupereka mitero kuna Khesari, achiti iye pachake ndiKhirisitu mambo." 3 Pirato adomubvunza achiti, "Ndiwe Mambo wovaJudha chere?" Iye adomupindura achiti, "Ndozvawareva." 4 Saka Pirato adodzoti kuvaprista vakuru nokumhomho yovanhu, "Handinai mhosva yandawana pamunhu uyu." 5 Asi vadokurumidza kuti, "Adomutsa vanhu, achidzidzisa kwesekwese muJudhiya rese, kubva muGaririya kutosvika kunzvimbo ino."

6 Pirato paadonzva zvakarezvo, adobvunza kana murume wakareyo waiva woGaririya. 7 Futi paadondoziva kuti waiva wonzvimbo iri pasi poutongi hwaHerudhe, adomuendesa kuna Herudhe, wanga ari muJerusarema pachake panguwa yakareyo. 8 Herudhe paadoona Jesu, adofara maninge, ndava kwonguwa irefu waida kumuona, nondava yokuti wanga wanzva nozvache, futi waigurupira kuona zviratidzo zvaiitiwa naye. 9 Saka adomubvunza kwochinguwa asi haanai kupindura. 10 Vaphirisita vakuru novanyori vadomira pakarepo, vachimupomera zvidosimba. 11 Futi Herudhe novahwi vache vadomubata uyanga vachimunyadza, ndokudzomusimidza chipfeko chinobhwinya, ndokumudzotsa kuna Pirato. 12 Futi Herudhe naPirato vadoita ushamwari pazuva rakarero, ndava kare vanga vadozondana.

13 Pirato adodaidza pabodzi vaphirisita vakuru novatongi novanhu, 14 ndokuti kwavari, "Mauya nomunhu wakareyu kwandiri semunhu wanga achitsambutsa vanhu, asi mumasure mokumuongorora pamberi penyu, mazviona kuti handinai kuwana munhu uyu ano mhosva yozvese zvamuri kumunenedzera, 15 naHerudhe haanaiwo, ndosaka wamudzotsa kamu kwatiri.

Zviponese naisisuwo!" 40 Asi mabiyake adomudzuma, achiti, "Hauche Mwari nai, zvauri pakutongehwa mutongo mubodzi? 41 Isisu zvidokodzera, ndava tiri kutambira mubairo udofanira zviito zvedu, asi murume uyu haanai kuita chidoipa." 42 Adobva wati, "Jesu mundirangarire kana mopinda muumambo hwenyu." 43 Adoti kwaari, "Chokwadi ndinoti kwauri, nasi uchava nainini muParadhaisi."

44 Yanga yava awa yochitanhatu, padoita rima panyika yese kusvikira paawa yochipfemba, 45 zvichiita daipo chiedza chozuva chidodzimwa, jira romuimba yaMwari ndokukeruka nopakati. 46 Ipopo Jesu adodaidzira nodzinga rikuru achiti, "Baba, ndinoisa mweya wangu mumaoko yenyu!" Paadondotaura zvakarezvo adobva warosa. 47 Zvino mutungamiri wozana paadoona zvidoitika adokudza Mwari achiti, "Chokwadi murume uyu wanga asinai mhosva!" 48 Gurusvusvu rese ranga raungana kudzoona zvanga zvichiitika, pavadoona vadokotamisa zviso nondava yokusiririsiwa nazvo, ndokudzokera kudzimba dzavo. 49 Vazikani vache vese novanhukadzi vanga vamutevera kubva kuGaririya vadomira kurefu vachiona zvinhu zvakarezvi.
