NgokukaMathewu 26:36-44

UJesu wafika nabo endaweni okuthiwa yiGetsemane, wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Hlalani lapha, ngisayokhuleka laphaya.” Wathatha uPhethro namadodana amabili kaZebedewu, waqala ukuba nomunyu nosizi. Khona wathi kubo: “Umphefumulo wami ulusizi kakhulu, kuze kube sekufeni; hlalani lapha, nilinde kanye nami.” Waqhubeka ibangana, wawa ngobuso, wakhuleka wathi: “Baba, uma kungenzeka, mayedlule kimi le ndebe, kodwa kungabi njengokuthanda kwami, kube njengokuba uthanda wena.” Wabuyela kubafundi, wabafica belele, wathi kuPhethro: “Kodwa beningehlale nilinde nami ihora libe linye na? Lindani, nikhuleke ukuze ningangeni ekulingweni; umoya uyavuma, kodwa umzimba ubuthakathaka.” Wabuye wahamba okwesibili, wakhuleka wathi: “Baba, uma le ndebe ingenakudlula kimi ngingakayiphuzi, mayenziwe intando yakho.” Wabuyela kubo futhi, wabafumana belele, ngokuba amehlo abo ayegcwele ubuthongo. Wabuye wabashiya, wayokhuleka ngokwesithathu elokhu esho lona lelo lizwi.
