UJesu ugcotshwa eBethani
(Mat 26:6–13; Mark 14:3–9)
1Kwathi kusasele insuku eziyisithupha lingakafiki iPhasika, uJesu wafika eBethani, lapho wayekhona uLazaro, uJesu amvusa kwabafileyo. 2Basebemenzela ukudla khona; uMatha wayepheka, kodwa uLazaro wayengomunye walabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye. 3UMariya wasethatha umfuma wamagcobo awenadi lodwa abiza imali enengi, wagcoba inyawo zikaJesu, wesula inyawo zakhe ngenwele zakhe; indlu yagcwala iphunga lamagcobo.#Luka 7:37–38 4Kodwa uJudasi Iskariyothi, omunye wabafundi bakhe yena owayezakumnikela, wathi: 5Kungani amafutha la engathengiswanga ngamadola angamatshumi amathathu, kwanikwa abayanga na? 6Wakutsho lokhu kungesikho ukuba ukhathalele abayanga, kodwa ngoba wayelisela, ephatha isikhwama, eseba okwakufakwa phakathi kwaso. 7Ngakho uJesu wathi: Myekeleni ukuba awalondolozele usuku lokumbelwa kwami. 8Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.#Dute 15:11
9Kwathi ixuku elikhulu labaJuda selizwile ukuthi ulapho leza, kungesikho ngenxa kaJesu kuphela, kodwa lokuba babone uLazaro ayemvusile kwabafileyo. 10Ngakho abapristi abakhulu benza icebo lokuba babulale loLazaro, 11ngoba ngenxa yakhe abaJuda abanengi basuka bakholwa kuJesu.
UJesu ungena eJerusalema
(Mat 21:1–11; Mark 11:1–11; Luka 19:28–40)
12Kusasa ixuku elikhulu elalizile emkhosini wePhasika lezwa kuthiwa uJesu uyeza eJerusalema. 13Ngakho lathatha amahlamvu elala, laphuma ukumhlangabeza, limemeza lisithi:
Hosana! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi,
yebo, iNkosi kaIsrayeli.#Hubo 118:25, 26
14UJesu wafumana ithole likababhemi, wakhwela phezu kwalo njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi:
15Ungesabi, wena Ziyone;
khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza,
ikhwele etholeni likababhemi.#Zek 9:9
16Abafundi bakhe kabaqedisisanga lokhu ekuqaleni; kodwa uJesu esedunyisiwe, basebekhumbula ukuthi lokhu kwakulotshiwe ngaye lokuthi babekwenzile lokhu kuye. 17Ngakho ixuku elalilaye mhla ebiza uLazaro ukuba aphume elibeni, emvusa kwabafileyo, lafakaza ngakho. 18Ngenxa yalokhu ixuku laphuma ukumhlangabeza, ngoba lezwa ukuba usenzile lesisibonakaliso. 19Ngakho abaFarisi bakhulumisana besithi: Liyabona ukuthi kalisizi lutho; khangelani, umhlaba wonke uyamlandela.
UJesu ukhuluma ngokufa kwakhe
20Kwakukhona amaGriki phakathi kwalabo ababekhuphukele ukuba bakhuleke emkhosini. 21Wonake eza kuFiliphu owayengowaseBetsayida elaseGalili, athi kuye: Nkosi, sithanda ukubona uJesu. 22UFiliphu wasuka wamtshela uAndreya. UAndreya loFiliphu basuka batshela uJesu. 23UJesu wathi kibo: Isikhathi sesifikile sokuba iNdodana yomuntu inikwe udumo. 24Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uba uhlamvu lwebele luwela emhlabathini lungafi, luhlala lodwa; kodwa aluba lusifa, luyathela izithelo ezinengi. 25Yena othanda ukusila kwakhe uyalahlekelwa yikho; lozonda ukusila kwakhe kulumhlaba uzakukulondolozela ukuphila okungapheliyo.#Mat 10:39; 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luka 9:24; 17:33 26Uba umuntu engikhonza, kangilandele; lalapho ngikhona, uzakuba khona umfokazi wami. Uba umuntu engikhonza, uBaba uzakumdumisa yena. 27Khathesi umphefumulo wami ukhathazekile, ngizakuthini na? Baba, ngisilise kulesisikhathi. Atshi, kodwa ngenxa yalokhu ngifikile kulesisikhathi. 28Baba, dumisa ibizo lakho. Kwasekuzwakala ilizwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: Ngilidumisile, ngizakuphinda ngilidumise futhi. 29Ngakho ixuku elalimi khona lakuzwa lathi: Liyaduma. Abanye bathi: Isithunywa sasezulwini sikhulume laye. 30UJesu waphendula wathi: Lelilizwi kalizanga ngenxa yami kodwa ngenxa yenu. 31Khathesi yikwahlulelwa kwalumhlaba; khathesi umbusi walumhlaba uzakuxotshwa. 32Minake, nxa ngiphakanyiswa emhlabeni, ngizakudonsela bonke abantu kimi. 33Watsho lokhu etshengisa ukufa abezakufa ngakho. 34Ngakho ixuku lamphendula lathi: Sizwile emlayweni ukuthi uKristu uhlala kokuphela; ungatsho kanjani ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswa na? Ingubani iNdodana yomuntu na?#Hubo 110:4; Isa 9:7; Hez 37:25; Dan 7:14 35UJesu wasesithi kibo: Kuseyisikhatshana ukukhanya lilakho. Hambani liselokukhanya, ukuze umnyama ungalahluli. Ohambayo emnyameni kazi ukuthi uya ngaphi. 36Liselokukhanya kholwani ukukhanya, ukuze libe ngabantwana bokukhanya.
Ukulahlwa kwabaJuda ngokungakholwa kwabo
UJesu watsho lokhu, wasuka, wabacatshela. 37Lanxa wayenze izibonakaliso ezinengi kangaka phambi kwabo, kabakholwanga kuye, 38ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi elakhulunywa nguIsaya elokuthi:
Nkosi, ngubani okholwe ukutshumayela kwethu na? Lamandla eNkosi ambulelwa bani na?#Isa 53:1
39Ngakho babengekholwe, ngoba uIsaya wabuya wathi:
40Uphumputhekisile amehlo abo, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo,
funa babone ngamehlo abo, baqedisise ngenhliziyo yabo, baphenduke, ngibasilise.#Isa 6:10
41UIsaya watsho lokhu ngoba wabona inkazimulo yakhe, wakhuluma ngaye. 42Loba kunjalo abanengi bababusi bakholwa kuye, kodwa ngokwesaba abaFarisi kabakuvumanga, funa bakhutshwe esinagogeni; 43ngoba bathanda udumo lwabantu kulodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
UJesu weza ukusilisa umhlaba angawulahli
44UJesu wasememeza esithi: Okholwa kimi kakholwa kimi, kodwa ukholwa kongithumileyo. 45Obona mina ubona ongithumileyo. 46Ngizile ngiyikukhanya emhlabeni ukuba okholwa kimi angahlali emnyameni. 47Uba ekhona owezwayo amazwi ami angawagcini, kangimlahli, ngoba kangizanga ukulahla umhlaba kodwa ukusilisa umhlaba. 48Yena ongalayo engawamukeli amazwi ami, ulaye omlahlayo; ilizwi esengilikhulumile lizakumlahla ngosuku lokucina. 49Ngoba kangizikhulumelanga ngokwami, uBaba ongithumileyo nguye onginike umlayo wokuba ngizakuthini, ngikhulumeni. 50Ngiyazi ukuthi umlayo wakhe uyikuphila okungapheliyo. Ngakho lokhu engikukhulumayo ngikukhuluma njengalokhu uBaba angitshele khona.
