49 Ke kaloku omnye wabo, uKayafa, engumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka, wathi kubo, Anazi nto nina;
50 kananjalo aniqondi ukuba kusilungele, ukuba kufe umntu abe mnye ngenxa yabantu, ukuze lungatshabalali uhlanga luphela.
51 Oku ke akakuthethanga kuphuma kuye; wathi, kuba ebengumbingeleli omkhulu ngaloo mnyaka, waprofeta ukuba uYesu uza kulufela uhlanga;
52 kungabi ngenxa yohlanga olo lodwa, kube ngenxa yabantwana bakaThixo abalusali, ukuba abahlanganisele ndawonye.
53 Kususela kuloo mini ngoko babhunga ukuba bambulale.
54 Ngoko uYesu akabanga sahamba ekuhléni phakathi kwamaYuda; wasuka wemka apho, waya ezweni elikufuphi nentlango, emzini ekuthiwa kukwaEfrayim; walibala khona apho nabafundi bakhe.
55 Ke kaloku yayikufuphi ipasika* yamaYuda; kwenyuka into eninzi iphuma kwelo zwe, yaya eYerusalem phambi kwayo ipasika, ukuze izenze nyulu.
