9 Wabaphendula ke uPilato, esithi, Nithanda ukuba ndinikhululele ukumkani wamaYuda na?
10 Kuba ebesazi ukuba ababingeleli abakhulu abo bamnikele ngomona.
11 Ke bona ababingeleli abakhulu bayixhokonxa indimbane, ukuba icele ukuba kanye abakhululele uBharabhas.
12 Wabuya waphendula ke uPilato, wathi kubo, Ninga ndingamenzani na ngoko lowo nithi nguKumkani wamaYuda?
13 Babuya ke bankqangaza bathi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!
14 Wathi ke uPilato kubo, Kuba enze bubi buni na? Kwaba kukhona ke bancamisayo ukunkqangaza, besithi, Mbethelele emnqamlezweni!
15 Ke kaloku uPilato, ngokunga angasithomalalisa isihlwele, wabakhululela uBharabhas. Emtyakatyile ke uYesu, wamnikela ukuba abethelelwe emnqamlezweni.
