| 1. | Akuzithetha uYesu ezi zinto, waphuma nabafundi bakhe, waya phesheya komlanjana oyiKidron, apho kwakukho umyezo, awangena kuwo yena nabafundi bakhe. |
| 2. | NoYuda ke, lowo umngcatshayo, ubeyazi indawo leyo; kuba uYesu ubesakubutha futhi khona apho nabafundi bakhe. |
| 3. | Athi ngoko uYuda, ethabathe ibutho lamasoldati namadindala kubabingeleli abakhulu nabaFarisi, eze khona enezikhanyiso nezibane neentonga. |
| 4. | Ezazi ngoko uYesu zonke izinto ezimzelayo, waphuma, wathi kubo, Nifuna bani na? |
| 5. | Bamphendula bathi, UYesu umNazarete. Athi kubo uYesu, Ndinguye. Wabemi ke nabo uYuda, lowo umngcatshayo. |
| 6. | Akutsho ngoko kubo ukuthi, Ndinguye, bahlehla, bawa emhlabeni. |
| 7. | Wabuya ke wababuza esithi, Nifuna bani na? Bathi ke bona, UYesu umNazarete. |
| 8. | Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ndinixelele ukuba ndinguye; ukuba ngoko nifuna mna, bayekeni aba bemke; |
| 9. | ukuze lizaliseke ilizwi awalithethayo elithi, Kwabo undinike bona, andilahlekwanga namnye. |
| 10. | Uthe ngoko uSimon Petros, enekrele, walirhola, wamxabela umkhonzi wombingeleli omkhulu, wamnqamla indlebe yokunene; laye igama lomkhonzi lowo linguMalko. |
| 11. | Uthe ngoko uYesu kuPetros, Lifake ikrele lakho esingxotyeni salo; indebe andinikileyo uBawo andisayi kuyisela na? |
| 12. | Ibutho ngoko lamasoldati, nomthetheli-waka, namadindala amaYuda, bambamba uYesu, bambopha, |
| 13. | bamrholela kuAnas kuqala; kuba wayengusomfazi kuKayafa, obengumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka. |
| 14. | Ke kaloku uKayafa wayengulowo wabhunga namaYuda ngokuthi, Kuyinto elungileyo, ukuba umntu omnye atshabalale ngenxa yabantu. |
| 15. | Ke kaloku uSimon Petros wayemlandela uYesu, naye omnye umfundi. Loo mfundi ke wayesazeka kumbingeleli omkhulu, wangena noYesu entendelezweni yombingeleli omkhulu. |
| 16. | UPetros ke ubemi ngasesangweni ngaphandle. Waphuma ke omnye umfundi, lowo ubesazeka kumbingeleli omkhulu, wathetha nomgcini-sango, wamngenisa uPetros. |
| 17. | Sithi ngoko isicakazana esingumgcini-sango kuPetros, Ingaba nawe ungowabafundi balo mntu yini na? Athi yena, Andinguye. |
| 18. | Ke kaloku kwakumi khona abakhonzi namadindala bebase umlilo wamalahle, ngokuba bekubanda; bamana besotha, waye ke uPetros emi nabo esotha. |
| 19. | Umbingeleli omkhulu ngoko wambuza uYesu ngabafundi bakhe, nangayo imfundiso yakhe. |
| 20. | Wamphendula uYesu wathi, Mna ndathetha ngokungafihlisiyo kulo ihlabathi; mna bendihleli ndifundisa endlwini yesikhungu nasetempileni, apho amaYuda ebesakubuthelana khona, evela kumacala onke; emfihlekweni andithethanga nto. |
| 21. | Yini na ukuba ubuze kum? Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayithetha kubo; uyabona, aba bayakwazi oko ndakuthethayo. |
| 22. | Ke kaloku, akubonÂ’ ukuba utshilo, elinye lamadindala, elalimi khona, lammonxoza uYesu, lathi, Wenjenje na ukumphendula umbingeleli omkhulu? |
| 23. | Waliphendula uYesu wathi, Ukuba ndithethe kakubi, ngqinela ububi obo; kodwa ukuba ndithethe kakuhle, undibethelani na? |
| 24. | UAnas wamthumela ebotshiwe kuKayafa umbingeleli omkhulu. |
| 25. | Ke kaloku uSimon Petros wayemi esotha; bathi ngoko kuye, Ingaba nawe ungowabafundi bakhe yini na? Wakhanyela yena wathi, Andinguye. |
| 26. | Athi omnye umkhonzi wombingeleli omkhulu, osisalamane salowo uPetros wamnqamla indlebe, Andikubonanga mna Yini na emyezweni unaye? |
| 27. | Wabuya ke wakhanyela uPetros. Yasuka yalila kwaoko inkuku. |
| 28. | Bamsusa ngoko uYesu kuKayafa, bamsa kwindlu yerhuluneli; bekukusasa ke oko; bona abangenanga endlwini yerhuluneli, ukuze bangadyobheki, ukuze bayidle ipasika. |
| 29. | Waphuma ke uPilato waya kubo, wathi, Nimisa tyala lini na kuye lo mntu? |
| 30. | Baphendula bathi kuye, Ukuba ebengenguye umenzi wobubi yena, singe singamnikelanga kuwe. |
| 31. | Wathi ngoko uPilato kubo, Mthabatheni nina, nimgwebe ngesiko lenu. Athi ngoko amaYuda kuye, Akuvumelekile kuthi ukuba sibulale umntu; |
| 32. | ukuze ilizwi likaYesu lizaliseke awalithethayo, eqondisa ukuba kukufa kuni na abeza kufa ngako. |
| 33. | Wabuya ngoko wangena uPilato endlwini yerhuluneli, wambiza uYesu, wathi kuye, Wena unguye na uKumkani wamaYuda? |
| 34. | Umphendule uYesu, wathi, Uyithetha le nto iphuma kuwe, wayixelelwa ngabanye ngam, sini na? |
| 35. | Waphendula uPilato wathi, Kanene, mna ndingumYuda na? Luhlanga lwakowenu nababingeleli abakhulu abakunikeleyo kum; wenze ntoni na? |
| 36. | Waphendula uYesu wathi, Ubukumkani bam asibubo obeli hlabathi; ukuba bebububo obeli hlabathi ubukumkani bam, amakhonza am ange ezama, ukuze ndinganikelwa kumaYuda; ngoku ke ubukumkani bam asibobalapha. |
| 37. | Wathi ke uPilato kuye, Hina ke, ungukumkani na wena? Waphendula uYesu wathi, Nawe uthi ndingukumkani Mna ndizalelwe oku; ndizele oku ehlabathini, ukuze ndiyingqinele inyaniso. Bonke abangabenyaniso bayaliva ilizwi lam. |
| 38. | Athi uPilato kuye, Yintoni na yona inyaniso? Akuba etshilo, wabuya waphuma waya kumaYuda, athi kuwo, Mna andifumani nalinye ityala kuye. |
| 39. | Ke kaloku ninesiko lokuba ndinikhululele abe mnye ngepasika; ninga ke ndinganikhululela uKumkani wamaYuda na? |
| 40. | Babuya ngoko bonke bankqangaza, besithi, Mayingabi ngulo, mayibe nguBharabhas. Waye ke uBharabhas lo esisihange. |
