20Wenta njalo futsi ngekubanika indzebe emvakwekudla, atsi: “Lendzebe sivumelwane lesisha sengati yami lecitselwe nine.]
21“Kodvwa bukani la, lona longitsengisako ukhona la etafuleni kanye nami; 22vele, iNdvodzana yeMuntfu itawufa, njengobe kwamiswa, kodvwa maye kulowo muntfu loyitsengisako!”
23Bacala babutana bodvwana kutsi ngubani emkhatsini wabo labetakwenta loko.
Kuphikisana ngebukhulu
24Kwase kuba nembango emkhatsini webafundzi ngekutsi ngubani lotaba mkhulu kunabo bonkhe. 25Jesu watsi kubo: “Emakhosi alomhlaba anemandla etikwebantfu bawo, nebabusi babitwa ngekutsi: ‘Benti balokuhle’. 26Kodvwa kini akunjalo; lokungenani lomkhulu kakhulu emkhatsini wenu kufanele afanane nalomncane kakhulu, nemholi kufanele afane nesisebenti. 27Ngubani lomkhulu, ngulohlalako angene ngekudla yini, nome ngulona lolungisela lomunye kudla? Vele, ngulona lohlalako angene ngekudla. Kodvwa mine ngisemkhatsini wenu njengemuntfu lonilungiselako.
28“Nine senibeketele kanye nami kuko konkhe kulingwa kwami; 29njengobe Babe anginikile ligunya lekubusa, nami-ke ngitaninika lona. 30Niyawudla ninatse etafuleni embusweni wami, niyawuhlala etihlalweni nehlulele tive tema-Israyeli letili-12.”
Jesu uphrofetha kuphikwa nguPhetro
31“Simoni! Simoni! Lalela! Sathane sewucele imvume kuNkulunkulu yekunilinga, njengemfati ela emabele awehlukanisa nemakhoba. 32Noko sengikukhulekele, Simoni, kuze kungehluleki kukholwa kwakho. Nase uphendvukile wabuya kimi, kufanele ucinise nalabanakenu.”
33Waphendvula watsi: “Nkhosi, ngitimisele kukulandzela ngisho nasekuboshweni nasekufeni.”
34Jesu waphendvula watsi: “Phetro, ngikutjela kutsi: Lamuhla lichudze litawukhala sewungiphike katsatfu utsi awungati.”
Sipatji, nesikhwama, nenkemba
35Wase utsi Jesu kubo: “Mhlazana nginitfuma ngitsi ningaphatsi sipatji, nesikhwama, neticatfulo, nake neswelani?”
Baphendvula batsi: “Kute lesakweswela.”
36Jesu watsi: “Kodvwa lowo lonesipatji nalonesikhwama, akasitsatse; nalowo longenankemba, akatsengise lijazi lakhe atsenge inkemba. 37Ase nginitjele naku: UmBhalo lotsi: ‘Wabalwa kanye netigelekece,’ kufanele ugcwaliseke ngami. Phela lokwabhalwa ngami sekuyagcwaliseka.”
38Bafundzi batsi: “Buka! Nati tinkemba letimbili, Nkhosi!”
Waphendvula watsi: “Sekwenele!”
Jesu uthandaza eNtsabeni Yemincumo
39Jesu wesuka wahamba, waya eNtsabeni Yemincumo njengobe abevamile; nebafundzi bakhe bahamba naye. 40Watsi kube efike kuleyo ndzawo, watsi kubo: “Thandazani, kuze ningangeni ekulingweni.”
41Kodvwa yena wesuka kubo, wachubeka libanga lelingaba ngangemjikijelo, waguca phansi wathandaza. 42Watsi: “Babe, nawutsandza, susa kimi lendzebe yelusizi. Noko kungabi ngentsandvo yami, kodvwa akwenteke intsandvo yakho.”
43Ingilosi leyayiphuma ezulwini yefika kuye yamcinisa. 44Inhlitiyo yakhe yayilusizi; wathandaza ngekuciniseka lokukhulu, titfukutfuku takhe taze taba njengematfonsi engati, atfontsela phansi.
45Wesuka ekuthandazeni, wabuyela kubafundzi bakhe wabakhandza sebalele, ngobe bebakhatsateke kakhulu etinhlitiyweni tabo. 46Watsi kubo: “Nilaleleni? Vukani nithandaze kuze ningangeni ekulingweni.”
Kuboshwa kwaJesu
47Watsi asakhuluma, kwase kufika sicumbi sebantfu; Judasi, labengulomunye webafundzi labali-12 labesihola embili, weta kuJesu wafike wamanga. 48Kodvwa Jesu watsi: “Judasi, nembala iNdvodzana yeMuntfu uyitsengisa ngekuyanga?”
49Bafundzi lababenaJesu babona lokwakutakwenteka, base batsi: “Nkhosi! Sigadle yini ngaletinkemba tetfu?”
50Lomunye wabo wagadla sigcili semPhristi Lomkhulu wasihhumbula indlebe yangasekudla. 51Kodvwa Jesu waphendvula watsi: “Manini! Sekwenele!”
Watsintsa lendlebe yaleyo ndvodza wayiphilisa.
52Jesu watsi kubaphristi labakhulu kanye netiphatsimandla tebalindzi belithempeli netibondza letatite kutembamba: “Niteleni la netinkemba netagila, kube sengatsi ngisigebengu? 53Nganginani onkhe emalanga ethempelini, anizange netame kungibopha. Kodvwa lesikhatsi senu nesemandla ebumnyama.”
Phetro uphika Jesu
54Base bayambopha Jesu bamtsatsa bamfaka endlini yemPhristi Lomkhulu; Phetro abelandzela khashane ngemuva. 55Kwakubaswe umlilo ekhatsi nendzawo yelibala lenkantolo, naPhetro weta wahlala wotsa nabo umlilo. 56Kwatsi kube intfombatana, leyayisisebenti, imbona otsa umlilo, yambukisisa yatsi: “Nalendvodza beyihamba naye!”
57Kodvwa Phetro waphika watsi: “Ntfombatana! Angimati nekumati!”
58Emvakwesikhashana, indvodza lenye yamfanisa yatsi: “Ungulomunye wabo nawe.”
Kodvwa Phetro waphendvula watsi:
“Ndvodza-ndzini, angisiye!”
59Ngemvakwesikhatsi lesidzanyana lesingaba li-awa lenye indvodza yambelesela ngemandla yatsi: “Akukho nalokuncane nje kungabata kutsi lendvodza yayinaye, ngobe ingumGalile!”
60Kodvwa Phetro waphendvula watsi: “Ndvodza, angiyati lentfo lokhuluma ngayo!”
Ngekushesha, asakhuluma, lichudze lakhala. 61INkhosi yagucuka yabuka Phetro, naPhetro wase uyawakhumbula emavi eNkhosi nayitsi: “Lamuhla lichudze lingakakhali, utabe sewushito katsatfu kutsi awungati.” 62Phetro waphumela ngephandle wafike wakhala kabuhlungu kakhulu.
Jesu uyaphukutwa, uyashaywa
63Lamadvodza abegadze Jesu amenta inhlekisa amshaya; 64abemvala emehlo bese ayambuta atsi: “Combelela kutsi ngubani lokushayile?”
65Akhuluma ametfuka ngetinhlamba letinyenti.
Jesu ume embikweLiqoqo letibondza
66Ekuseni Liqoqo letibondza temaJuda, nebaphristi labakhulu, netati temtsetfo tahlangana ndzawonye, naJesu waletfwa kuleLiqoqo labo.
67Batsi kuye: “Sitjele, unguye yini loKhristu?”
Waphendvula watsi: “Nanginitjela, ningeke nikholwe, 68kani futsi nanginganibuta umbuzo, ningeke ningiphendvule. 69Kodvwa kusukela manje iNdvodzana yeMuntfu itawuhlaliswa ngasesandleni sekudla saNkulunkulu, Somandla.”

Wabaphendvula watsi: “Niyasho kutsi ngingiyo.”
71Base batsi kuye: “Asisadzingi labanye bofakazi! Tsine matfupha sesitivele inkhulumo yakhe!”
