18 Kwakumi khona izinceku nezikhonzi zibasile umlilo wamalahle, ngokuba kwakumakhaza, zotha; noPetru wayenazo otha.
19 Kepha umpristi omkhulu wabuza uJesu ngabafundi bakhe nangemfundiso yakhe.
20 UJesu wamphendula wathi: “Ngikhulumile obala ezweni. Ngezikhathi zonke bengifundisa esinagogeni* nasethempelini, lapho abaJuda bonke bebuthana khona, angikhulumanga lutho ngasese.
21 Ubuzelani kimi na? Buza kulabo abezwile lokho engakukhuluma kubo; bheka, bona bayakwazi engakushoyo.”
22 Esasho lokho, esinye isikhonzi esasimi khona sammukula uJesu, sathi: “Uphendula umpristi omkhulu kanjalo na?”
23 UJesu wasiphendula wathi: “Uma ngikhulume kabi, fakaza ngalobo bubi; kodwa uma kukuhle, ungishayelani na?”
24 U-Anase wamthumela eboshiwe kuKayafase umpristi omkhulu.
