1 Kwathi uJesu eseqedile onke lawo mazwi, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
2 “Niyazi ukuthi emva kwezinsuku ezimbili kuyiPhasika; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa ukuba ibethelwe esiphambanweni.”
3 Khona kwabuthana abapristi abakhulu namalunga esizwe egcekeni lompristi omkhulu othiwa uKayafase.
4 Bacebisana ukuba bambambe uJesu ngobuqili, bambulale.
5 Kepha bathi: “Makungabi ngomkhosi, funa kube khona isiyaluyalu esizweni.”
6 Kuthe uJesu eseBethaniya endlini kaSimoni owayenochoko,
7 kwafika kuye owesifazane ephethe umfuma we-alabaste* wamafutha anenani elikhulu, wawathela ekhanda lakhe ehlezi ekudleni.
