15 Ke kaloku imithendeleko ngemithendeleko irhuluneli ibiqhele ukuzikhululela izihlwele umbanjwa abe mnye, lowo babesithi bamfune.
16 Baye ke ngelo xesha benombanjwa obesazeka, ekuthiwa nguBharabhas.
17 Bakubon' ukuba ngoko bahlanganisene, wathi kubo uPilato, Nithanda ukuba ndinikhululele wuphi na, uBharabhas, uYesu ekuthiwa nguKristu,* kusini na?
18 Kuba ebesazi ukuba bamnikele ngomona.
