35Pilato a araba, a re: “Na ke Mojuda? Setjhaba sa heno le baprista ba baholo ba o tlisitse ho nna; o entseng?”

36Jesu a araba, a re: “Mmuso wa ka hase wa lefatshe lena; ha mmuso wa ka e ne e le wa lefatshe lena, balatedi ba ka ba ka be ba lwanne, hore ke se ke ka neelwa Bajuda, empa jwale mmuso wa ka hase wa mona.”

37Yaba Pilato o re ho yena: “Ha ho le jwalo, na o fela o le kgosi?”
