Icebo Elibi NgoJesu

1 UJesu eseqedile ukukhuluma zonke lezi izinto, wathi kubafundi bakhe, 2 "Njengoba lisazi, sekusele insuku ezimbili ukuba iPhasika lifike, njalo iNdodana yoMuntu izanikelwa ukuba ibethelwe."

3 Abaphristi abakhulu labadala babantu basebeqoqana egumeni lomphristi omkhulu owayethiwa nguKhayifasi, 4 baceba ukubopha uJesu ngasese bambulale. 5 Bathi, "Kakungabi ngesikhathi somkhosi funa kube lesiphithiphithi ebantwini."

UJesu Uyagcotshwa EBhethani

6 Kwathi uJesu eseBhethani endlini yendoda eyayithiwa nguSimoni owayelobulephero, 7 kweza kuye owesifazane ephethe imbodlela yamakha adula kakhulu wawathela ekhanda likaJesu owayeyeme etafuleni.

8 Abafundi bathi bekubona lokho bacasuka. Basebebuza bathi, "Adlaliselwani kanje na? 9 Amakha la abengathengiswa ngemali ephezulu leyomali iphiwe abampofu."

10 UJesu esekunanzelele lokhu wathi kubo, "Limkhathazelani owesifazane lo na? Wenze into enhle kimi. 11 Abampofu lizahlala lilabo kokuphela, kodwa kalisoze libe lami kokuphela. 12 Uthe ethululela amakha la emzimbeni wami ubesenzela ukungilungiselela ukungcwatshwa. 13 Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi langaphi lapho okuzatshunyayelwa ivangeli leli emhlabeni wonke, lokhu akwenzileyo kuzakhulunywa, kube yisikhumbuzo ngaye."

UJudasi Uvuma Ukunikela UJesu

14 Kwathi omunye wabalitshumi lambili, lowo owayethiwa nguJudasi Iskariyothi, waya kubaphristi abakhulu 15 wabuza wathi, "Lizangiphani nxa ngimnikela kini?" Base bembalela inhlamvu zesiliva ezingamatshumi amathathu. 16 Kusukela khonapho uJudasi wadinga ithuba lokuba amnikele.

17 Ngosuku lokuqala loMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo abafundi beza kuJesu bambuza bathi, "Ufuna senzele ngaphi amalungiselelo okuthi udle iPhasika na?"

18 Waphendula wathi, "Ngenani edolobheni komunye umuntu limtshele lithi, ‘UMfundisi uthi: Isikhathi sami esimisiweyo sesiseduze. Ngizakudla iPhasika labafundi bami endlini yakho.’ " 19 Ngakho abafundi benza njengokulayelwa kwabo nguJesu balungisa iPhasika.

20 Kwathi kusihlwa, uJesu wayehlezi eyeme etafuleni elabalitshumi lambili. 21 Kwathi besidla wathi, "Ngilitshela iqiniso ukuthi omunye wenu uzanginikela."

22 Badana kakhulu basebesithi kuye ngamunye, "Pho kawutsho mina Nkosi?"

23 UJesu waphendula wathi, "Lowo odle kanye lami emganwini uzanginikela. 24 INdodana yoMuntu kwenzakala kuyo njengoba kulotshiwe ngayo. Kodwa maye kulowomuntu ozanikela iNdodana yoMuntu! Bekungaba ngcono kuye ngabe wayengazalwanga."

25 Wasesithi uJudasi, lowo owayezamnikela, "Pho kawutsho mina, Rabi?"

UJesu waphendula wathi, "Yebo, nguwe okutshoyo."

26 Bathi besadla uJesu wathatha isinkwa wabonga, wasihlephula wasipha abafundi bakhe esithi, "Thathani lidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami."
