| 1. | Waza ngoko uPilato wamthabatha uYesu, wamtyakatya. |
| 2. | Amasoldati, eluke isithsaba ngameva, asibeka phezu kwentloko yakhe, amthi wambu ngengubo ebomvu, |
| 3. | amana esithi, Aa! Kumkani wamaYuda! ammonxoza. |
| 4. | Wabuya ngoko waphuma phandle uPilato; athi kubo, Yabonani, ndimzisa phandle kuni, ukuze nazi ukuba andifumani nalinye ityala kuye. |
| 5. | Waphuma phandle ngoko uYesu, enxibe isithsaba sameva nengubo ebomvu; athi uPilato kubo, Nanko umntu. |
| 6. | Bathe ngoko, bakumbona ababingeleli abakhulu namadindala, bankqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi kubo uPilato, Mthabatheni nina, nimbethelele emnqamlezweni; kuba mna andifumani tyala kuye. |
| 7. | Amphendula amaYuda athi, Thina sinomthetho; ngomthetho wethu ke ufanele ukufa, ngokuba ezenze uNyana kaThixo. |
| 8. | Uthe ngoko uPilato, akuliva elo lizwi, woyika ngakumbi. |
| 9. | Wabuya wangena endlwini yerhuluneli, wathi kuYesu, Ungowaphi na wena? Ke uYesu akamphendulanga. |
| 10. | Athi ngoko uPilato kuye, Akuthethi na kum? Akwazi na ukuba ndinegunya lokukubethelela emnqamlezweni, nokuba ndinegunya lokukukhulula? |
| 11. | Uphendule uYesu wathi, Unge ungenagunya nakanye kum, ukuba ubungalinikwanga livela phezulu; ngenxa yoko, ondinikeleyo kuwe unesono esikhulu ngakumbi. |
| 12. | Ngenxa yoko wayefuna uPilato ukumkhulula; kodwa amaYuda ayenkqangaza esithi, Ukuba uthe wamkhulula lo, akusihlobo sikaKesare; bonke abazenza ukumkani bachasa uKesare. |
| 13. | Elivile ngoko uPilato eli lizwi, wamzisa phandle uYesu, wahlala esihlalweni sokugweba kwindawo ekuthiwa, siSandlalo saMatye; ke ngesiHebhere yiGabhata. |
| 14. | Ke kaloku kwakuyimini yokulungiselela ipasika, ilixa ke ngathi lilelesithandathu; athi kumaYuda, Nanko uKumkani wenu! |
| 15. | Ke wona ankqangaza esithi, Susa, susa, mbethelele emnqamlezweni! Athi uPilato kuwo, Ndimbethelele emnqamlezweni na uKumkani wenu? Baphendula ababingeleli abakhulu bathi, Thina asinakumkani ungenguye uKesare. |
| 16. | Wandula ngoko ukumnikela kubo, ukuze abethelelwe emnqamlezweni. |
| 17. | Bamthabatha ke uYesu, bemka naye. Ethwele umnqamlezo wakhe, waphuma waya endaweni ekuthiwa, yeyokakayi, ekuthiwa ngesiHebhere yiGologota, |
| 18. | apho bambethelela khona emnqamlezweni, nabanye naye abangabambi bebabini, ngeenxa zombini, uYesu ke ephakathi. |
| 19. | Ke kaloku uPilato wabhala nombhalo, wawubeka phezu komnqamlezo. Kwaye ke kubhaliwe kwathiwa: uYesu waseNazarete, uKumkani wamaYuda. |
| 20. | Loo mbhalo ngoko into eninzi yamaYuda yawulesa; ngokuba indawo, uYesu awayebethelelwe kuyo emnqamlezweni, yayikufuphi nomzi; kwaye ke kubhaliwe ngesiHebhere, nangesiGrike, nangesiRoma. |
| 21. | Babesithi ngoko kuPilato ababingeleli abakhulu bamaYuda, Musa ukubhala uthi, UKumkani wamaYuda; bhala uthi, Wathi yena, NdinguKumkani wamaYuda. |
| 22. | Waphendula uPilato wathi, Endikubhalileyo ndikubhalile. |
| 23. | Athe ngoko amasoldati, xa abembethelele emnqamlezweni uYesu, azithabatha iingubo zakhe, enza izabelo ezine, laelo isoldati lanesabelo; kwanengubo yangaphantsi. Ke kaloku, ingubo yangaphantsi yabe ingenamthungo; yayilukiwe iphela, ithabathele phezulu. |
| 24. | Atshono ngoko ukuthi, Masingayikrazuli, masiqashise ngayo ukuba yoba yekabani na; ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke esithi, Babelana ngeengubo zam, Benza amaqashiso ngesambatho sam. Amasoldati ke ngoko azenza ezi zinto. |
| 25. | Kwakumi ke ngasemnqamlezweni kaYesu unina, nomsakwabo bonina, uMariya umkaKleyopa, noMariya waseMagadala. |
| 26. | UYesu ngoko, akumbona unina, naye umfundi abemthanda emi khona, uthi kuye unina, Mfazi, nanko unyana wakho! |
| 27. | Andule athi kumfundi lowo, Nanko unyoko! Wathi kwakwelo lixa, umfundi lowo wamthabatha, wamsa kwikhaya lakhe. |
| 28. | Emveni koko, uYesu, esazi ukuba zonke izinto sezifezekile, ukuze sifezeke isibhalo, wathi, Ndinxaniwe. |
| 29. | Bekumi ke isitya sizele yiviniga; bazalisa ke bona imfunxa ngeviniga; bayibeka phezu kwehisope, bayisa emlonyeni wakhe. |
| 30. | Xa ngoko uYesu wabeyamkele iviniga, wathi, Kugqityiwe! Wathoba intloko, wawunikela umoya wakhe. |
| 31. | AmaYuda ngoko, ukuze imizimba ingahlali emnqamlezweni ngesabatha, ekubeni yayiyimini yokulungiselela isabatha (kuba loo sabatha ibingumhla omkhulu), acela kuPilato ukuba imilenze yabo yaphulwe, basuswe. |
| 32. | Eza ngoko amasoldati, ayaphula okunene imilenze yowokuqala, neyomnye obebethelelwe emnqamlezweni naye. |
| 33. | Kodwa akufika kuYesu, akubona ukuba uselefile, akayaphula imilenze yakhe. |
| 34. | Lesuka elinye isoldati lamhlaba ngomkhonto ecaleni; kwaoko kwaphuma igazi namanzi. |
| 35. | Nalowo ubonileyo ungqinile, nobungqina bakhe buyinyaniso; naye yena uyazi ukuba uthetha inyaniso, ukuze nani nikholwe. |
| 36. | Kuba zenzeka ezi zinto, ukuze isibhalo sizaliseke esithi, Akuyi kutyunyuzwa thambo lakhe. |
| 37. | Kanjalo nesinye isibhalo sithi, Baya kukhangela kulowo bamhlabileyo. |
| 38. | Ke kaloku emveni koko, uYosefu waseArimati (engumfundi kaYesu, ke enguye ngokufihlakeleyo ngenxa yokoyika amaYuda), wacela kuPilato, ukuba awususe umzimba kaYesu. Waza uPilato wavuma; weza ke wawususa umzimba kaYesu. |
| 39. | Kwafika ke noNikodemo (lowo wezayo kuYesu ebusuku ekuqaleni), ephethe impithikezo yemore nekhala, ngathi iziiponti ezilikhulu ngobunzima. |
| 40. | Bawuthabatha ke umzimba kaYesu, bawubopha ngezisongelo zelinen, ndawonye nobulawu, njengoko kulisiko lokungcwaba kumaYuda. |
| 41. | Ke kaloku, bekukho kuloo ndawo abebethelelwe kuyo emnqamlezweni umyezo; nasemyezweni apho bekukho ingcwaba elitsha, ekungazanga kubekwe mntu kulo. |
| 42. | UYesu ngoko bambeka khona apho, ngenxa yemini yokulungiselela kwamaYuda; ngokuba ingcwaba belikufuphi. |
