UJesu uhlamba iinyawo zabafundi bakhe
1Bekungaphambi komnyanya wePhasika, uJesu asazi bona isikhathi sakhe sesifikile sokutjhiya iphaseli aye kuYise. Bekabathandile ekungebakhe abasephasinapha, wabathanda bekwaba sekupheleni.
2UJesu nabafundi bakhe gade basesilalelweni, uSathana besele afake ehliziyweni kaJudasi indodana kaSimoni Iskariyodi bona akhaphele uJesu. 3UJesu bekazi bonyana uYise ubeke zoke izinto emandlenakhe; bekasazi nokobana ubuya kuZimu begodu ubuyela kuZimu. 4Yeke wasikima ekudleni, wahlubula isambatho sakhe, wazisonga ngethawula edinini. 5Wathela amanzi ngesitjeni wathoma ukuhlamba iinyawo zabafundi bakhe, wazomisa ngethawula egade isedinini lakhe. 6Weza kuSimoni Pitrosi, owathi kuye: “Uzokuhlamba iinyawo zami, Kosi, na?”
7UJesu waphendula wathi: “Okwagadesi awukabi ukwazi engikwenzako, kodwana uzakulemuka muva.”
8UPitrosi wathi: “Angekhe walinga nanini uhlambe iinyawo zami!”
UJesu wamphendula wathi: “Nangingekhe ngahlamba iinyawo zakho, khona awunabudlelwano nami.”
9USimoni Pitrosi waphendula wathi: “Kosi, yeke ungahlambi iinyawo zami kwaphela, kodwana izandla nehlokwami!”
10UJesu wathi: “Okhe wahlamba umzimba, uhlanzekile umzimba woke, yeke akusafuneki bona ahlambe ngaphandle kweenyawo zakhe kwaphela. Nje-ke nina nihlanzekile kodwana ingasi noke.” 11UJesu gade asele asazi bona ngubani ozomthengisa, kungalokho bekathe: “Anikahlambuluki noke.”
12Ngemva kobana ahlambe iinyawo zabo, wembatha isambatho sakhe wabuyela endawenakhe etafuleni, wababuza wathi: “Niyalemuka engikwenzileko kini na? 13Ningibiza ngokuthi, ‘Mfundisi namkha Kosi!’, kulungile lokho ngombana ngilokho engingikho. 14Njengombana mina Kosi noMfundisenu, ngihlambe iinyawo zenu, nani kufuze nihlambe iinyawo zomunye nomunye. 15Nginenzele isibonelo sokobana nani kufuze nenze njengombana ngenze kini. 16Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Ayikho inceku ekulu kunekosayo, akakho nomzenda omkhulu kunaloyo omthumileko. 17Njengombana senazi izintwezi, nizakubusiswa nanizenzako.
18“Angikhulumi ngani noke; ngiyabazi labo engibakhethileko. Kodwana kufanele kuzaliseke imitlolo ethi,
“ ‘Iye, loyo onghwatha nami
ungiphendukele waba mkhapheli.’
19“Nginitjela kwanje ngaphambi kobana kwenzeke, khona kuzakuthi nakwenzekako nikholwe bona nginguye. 20Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Owamukela engimthumileko wamukela mina; owamukela mina wamukela loyo ongithumileko.”
UJesu ubonisa ngokukhatjhelwa kwakhe
(Mt 26:20-25; Mk 14:17-21; Lk 22:21-23)
21Emva kobana atjho lokhu, uJesu watshwenyeka khulu emmoyeni wathi: “Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Omunye wenu uzongikhaphela emanabeni.”
22Abafundi baqalana, barareka bona utjho bani. 23Omunye wabo omfundi uJesu agade amthanda, bekazeyame ngaye. 24USimoni Pitrosi wamkhweba wathi: “Mbuze bona ukhuluma ngobani.”
25Yeke umfundi loyo wasusa ihlokwake kuJesu, wabuza wathi: “Ngubani loyo, Kosi na?”
26UJesu waphendula wathi: “Ngiloyo engizamnikela igedzwana lesikwa ngemva kobana ngilitjhebe ngesitjeni.” Yeke watjheba igedzwana lesikwa, walinikela uJudasi umsa kaSimoni Iskariyodi. 27Msinyana emva kobana uJudasi athathe isikwa, uSathana wangena kuye. UJesu wathi kuye: “Kwenze msinyana ofuna ukukwenza.” 28Akakho noyedwa wabo obekasetafuleni ogade asazi bona bekakutjhwelani lokhu kuye. 29Njengombana uJudasi gade amlondisikhwama semali, abanye abafundi badlumbana bona uJesu bekamtjela bona akayokuthenga abakufunela umnyanya, namkha abele abadududu.
30Sele amukele isikwa uJudasi, khonokho waphumela ngaphandle; bekusebusuku.
Umyalo omutjha
31Kwathi bona akhambe, uJesu wathi: “Kwanjesi-ke iNdodana yoMuntu iphazimulisiwe noZimu uphazimulisiwe ngayo. 32Nangabe uZimu uphazimulisiwe kiyo, khona uZimu uzakuphazimulisa iNdodana kuye, begodu lokho uzakwenza msinyana. 33Bantwabami, ngizokuba nani isikhatjhana esincani kwaphela. Nizangifuna, njengombana ngatjho kumaJuda bona lapho ngiya khona angeze eza wona, ngitjho njalo nakini.
34“Nginipha umyalo omutjha ngithi: Thandanani. Njengombana nginithandile, nje-ke nani nifanele ukuthandana. 35Ngalokhu boke abantu bazakwazi bona nibafundi bami, nanithandanako.”
UJesu ubonisa ukuphikwa nguPitrosi
(Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34)
36USimoni Pitrosi wambuza wathi: “Kosi, kanti uya kuphi?”
UJesu wamphendula wathi: “Angekhe wangilandela lapha ngiyako khona nje, kodwana uzangilandela kamva.”
37UPitrosi wambuza godu wathi: “Kosi, kungani ngingeze ngakulandela khona nje na? Sengikubhincele ukudela ukuphila kwami ngebanga lakho.”
38UJesu waphendula wathi: “Kungabe uqinisile bona sewubhincele ukudela ukuphila kwakho ngebanga lami na? Kwamambala ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: Umkukurumbu ungakalili, uzabe sele ungiphike kathathu.”
