14 Ndipo sanayankha Iye, ngakhale mau amodzi, kotero kuti kazembe anazizwa ndithu.
15 Ndipo pa Paskha kazembe adazolowera kumasulira anthu mmodzi wandende, amene iwo anafuna.
16 Ndipo pa nthawi yomweyo anali ndi wandende wodziwika, dzina lace Baraba.
17 Cifukwa cace pamene anasonkhana, Pilato ananena kwa iwo, Mufuna kuti ndikumasulireni yani? Baraba kodi, kapena Yesu, wochedwa Kristu?
18 Pakuti anadziwa kuti anampereka Iye mwanjiru.
19 Ndipo pamene Pilato analikukhala pa mpando wakuweruza, mkazi wace anatumiza mau kwa iye, kunena, Musacite kanthu ndi munthu wolungamayo; pakuti lero m'kulota ine ndasauka kwambiri cifukwa ca Iye.
20 Koma ansembe akuru anapangira anthu kuti apemphe Baraba, koma kuti aononge Yesu.
