Mark 15

UJesu uphambi kukaPilatu

(Mat 27:1–2, 11–26; Luka 23:1–5, 13–25; Joha 18:26—19:16)

1Kwathi masinyane ekuseni abapristi abakhulu labadala lababhali lomphakathi wonke benza icebo, bambopha uJesu, bamqhuba, bamnikela kuPilatu. 2UPilatu wambuza wathi: Wena uyiNkosi yabaJuda na? Wamphendula wathi kuye: Kutsho wena. 3Abapristi abakhulu bammangalela ngezinto ezinengi. 4UPilatu wabuya wambuza wathi: Kawuphenduli lutho na? Khangela ukuba bakumangalela ngezinto ezingaka. 5Kodwa uJesu kabesaphendula lutho, waze wamangala uPilatu.

6Ngomkhosi wePhasika wayejwayele ukubakhululela isibotshwa sibe sinye abasicelayo. 7Kwakukhona umuntu othiwa nguBarabasi ibizo lakhe, owayebotshiwe kanye labanye ababevukele umbuso; babulala abantu ekuvukeni. 8Ixuku lenyuka, laqala ukucela ukuba alenzele njengalokhu ayejwayele ukulenzela. 9UPilatu wababuza wathi: Lithanda ukuba ngilikhululele iNkosi yabaJuda na? 10Ngoba wayekwazi ukuthi abapristi abakhulu bamnikele ngomona. 11Kodwa abapristi abakhulu bavusa ixuku ukuba kungcono alikhululele uBarabasi. 12UPilatu wabuya wathi kubo: Pho, lithi ngimenze njani lo elithi uyiNkosi yabaJuda na? 13Bamemeza futhi bathi: Mbethele! 14UPilatu wathi kubo: Ngoba wenze ububi bani? Kodwa bamemeza kakhulu, bathi: Mbethele! 15Khona uPilatu ethanda ukukholisa ixuku walikhululela uBarabasi; kwathi esemtshayile uJesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelwe.

Abebutho bamenza uJesu inhlekisa

(Mat 27:27–31; Joha 19:2–3)

16Abebutho basebemngenisa endlini yombusi, babizela ibutho lonke ndawonye. 17Bamambathisa ingubo eyibubende, sebeluke umqhele wameva bamethwesa wona. 18Baqala ukumbingelela besithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yabaJuda! 19Bamtshaya ekhanda ngoluthi, bamkhafulela ngamathe, baguqa bekhuleka kuye. 20Sebemenze inhlekisa bamhlubula ingubo eyibubende, bamambathisa ingubo zakhe. Basebemqhuba ukuba bambethele.

UJesu esiphambanweni

(Mat 27:32–44; Luka 23:26–43; Joha 19:17–27)

21Bambamba ngamandla umuntu, othiwa nguSimoni waseKureni, uyise kaAleksandro loRufusi, owayesedlula evela egangeni, ukuba athwale isiphambano sakhe.#Roma 16:13 22Bamusa endaweni ethiwa yiGolgotha, okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa, iNdawo yokhakhayi.

Lababebethelwe kanye laye bamklolodela.

33Emini kwaba mnyama elizweni lonke, kwaze kwaba yiawa yesithathu ntambama. 34Ngeawa yesithathu ntambama uJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wathi, “Eloyi, Eloyi, lama sabaktani?” okuyikuthi ngokuphendulelwa: Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungitshiyeleni na?#Hubo 22:1 35Abanye kwababemi khona bekuzwa bathi: Khangelani, ubiza uElija. 36Wasegijima omunye, wagcwalisa uzipho ngewayini elimunyu, waluhloma oluthini, wamnika ukuba anathe esithi: Yekelani, sibone ukuba uElija uzakuza amethule.#Hubo 69:21 37UJesu wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu, wafa. 38Iveli lethempeli ladabuka kabili, laqala phezulu laze lafika phansi.#Eks 26:31–33 39Kwathi induna yekhulu eyayimi maqondana laye imbona esifa ngokunjalo, yathi: Lembala lumuntu ubeyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. 40Kwakukhona labesifazana bebukela, bekhatshana; phakathi kwabo kukhona uMariya Magadalena, loMariya unina kaJakobe omncinyane lokaJose, loSalome,#Luka 8:2–3 41ababemlandela eseseGalili, bemsebenzela; kanye labanye abenyukela laye eJerusalema.

Ukumbelwa kukaJesu

(Mat 27:57–61; Luka 23:50–56; Joha 19:38–42)

42Kwathi sekuhlwile, ngoba kwakulusuku lokulungiselela, okuyikuthi usuku olungaphambi kweSabatha, 43kwafika uJosefa waseArimathiya, ilungu elidumileyo lomphakathi, laye wayelindele umbuso kaNkulunkulu; wangena ngesibindi kuPilatu, wacela isidumbu sikaJesu. 44UPilatu wamangala ngokuthi usefile, wabiza induna yekhulu, wabuza kuyo ukuba sekuyisikhathi efile. 45Esezwile enduneni yekhulu wamnika uJosefa isidumbu. 46UJosefa wathenga ilembu, wamethula, wamgoqela ngelembu, wambeka elibeni elaligujiwe edwaleni, wagiqela ilitshe emnyango weliba. 47UMariya Magadalena loMariya unina kaJose babona lapho abekwa khona.
