1 Kwakati kungoba mangwanana koga, baphirisiti bakulu, bena bawhola nebakwali, nelubahhe gose bakalangana; bakasunga Yesu bakayenda naye kuna Pilatu. 2 Pilatu wakawumbhuzwa eti, "Ndiwe Mambo wemaJuta?"

29 Banhu baka bepinda ipapo baka bedzungudza miholo bewuntuka beti, "Yaa! Iwe unokolomola thempeli ukolibaka mumahhuba matatu, 30 uzwitjidze, ujite patjileyanyo!"

31 Baphirisiti bakulu kose nebakwali bo baka bewunseka, beti, "Wakatjidza bamwe, ngaatjizwitjidza bo. 32 Khirisitu, Mambo we Isirayeli, ngaajite ngwenuwali patjileyanyo, kuti tibone, tigalemoyo."
