12Kwathi kuselensuku eziyisithupha lingakafikia iphasikab, uJesu wafika eBethanic, lapho okwakuloLazaro khona owayefile, ayemvuse kwabafileyod. 2 Basebemenzela ukudla kwantambama laphoe, loMarta wayesebenzaf g; njalo uLazaro wayengomunye walabo ababehlezi ekudleni laye.

3 UMariyah wasethatha iphawundi yamagcobo awenadi* uqobo adulayoi, wagcoba inyawo zikaJesuj, wesula inyawo zakhe ngenwele zakhe; lendlu yagcwala iphunga lamagcobo. 4 Ngakho omunye wabafundi bakhe, uJudasi Iskariyothi kaSimoni, owayezamnikelak, wathi: 5 Kungani amafutha la engathengiswanga ngabodenariyo* abangamakhulu amathathu, kwasekunikwa abayangal? 6 Wakutsho-ke lokhu, kungeyisikho ukuthi ekhathalele abayanga, kodwa ngoba wayelisela, wayelesikhwamam, ethwala okwakufakwa phakathi kwason. 7 UJesu wasesithi: Myekeleni; uwalondolozele usuku lokungcwatshwa kwamio. 8 Ngoba abayanga lihlala lilabo, kodwa mina kalihlali lilami.

9 Ngakho ixuku elikhulu lamaJuda lakwazi ukuthi ulapho; laselisiza kungesikuthi ngenxa kaJesu kuphela, kodwa lokuthi babone loLazarop, ayemvuse kwabafileyoq. 10 Abapristi abakhulur basebesenza icebo lokuthi babulale loLazaros; 11 ngoba ngenxa yakhet amaJuda amanengiu asuka, akholwa kuJesuv.

12 Kusisa ixuku elikhuluw elalizile emkhosinix, lezwa ukuthi uJesu uyeza eJerusalema, 13 bathatha ingatsha zezihlahla zelala, baphuma ukuyamhlangabeza, bamemeza besithi: Hosana*! Ubusisiwe ozayo ebizweni leNkosi, iNkosi kaIsrayeliy. 14 UJesu wasefica ithole likababhemi, wahlala phezu kwalo, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: 15 Ungesabi, ndodakazi yeSiyoni; khangela, inkosi yakho iyeza, ihlezi phezu kwethole likababhemiz. 16 Kodwa abafundi bakhe kabaqedisisanga lezizinto ekuqalenia; kodwa uJesu esedunyisiweb, basebekhumbula ukuthi lezizinto zazilotshiwe ngaye, lokuthi babezenzile lezizinto kuyec. 17 Ngakho ixuku elalilaye lapho ebiza uLazaro ukuthi aphume engcwabeni, emvusa kwabafileyo, lafakazad. 18 Ngenxa yalokhu ixuku laphuma futhi ukuyamhlangabeza, ngoba lezwa ukuthi wenze lesisibonakalisoe. 19 Ngakho abaFarisi bakhulumisana besithi: Liyabona ukuthi kalisizi lutho; khangelani umhlaba uyamlandelaf.

20 Kwakukhona amaGriki phakathi kwalabog ababenyukelele ukukhonzah emkhosinii; 21 wona-ke eza kuFiliphuj oweBhethisayida yeGalilik, basebemcela besithi: Nkosi, sithanda ukubona uJesu. 22 UFiliphu weza watshela uAndreya; uAndreya loFiliphu basebetshela uJesu futhil. 23 UJesu wasebaphendula esithi: Ihola selifikilem lokuthi iNdodana yomuntu idunyiswen. 24 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kini: Ngaphandle kokuthi uhlamvu lwebele luwele emhlabathini lufe, lona luhlala lulodwa; kodwa aluba lusifa, luthela isithelo sandeo. 25 Yena othanda impilo yakhe uyalahlekelwa yiyop; lozonda impilo yakhe kulumhlaba uzayilondoloza kuze kube yimpilo engulaphakadeq. 26 Uba umuntu engisebenzela, kangilandele; lalapho engikhona minar, lenceku yami izakuba khona. Futhi uba umuntu engisebenzela, uBaba uzamhloniphas.

27 Khathesi umphefumulo wami ukhathazekilet; sengizathini? Babau, ngisindise kuleliholav. Kodwa ngenxa yalokhuw ngifikile kuleliholax. 28 Baba, dumisa ibizo lakhoy. Kwasekusiza ilizwi livela ezulwini lisithi: Sengilidumisile, ngizaphinda ngilidumisez. 29 Ngakho ixuku elalimi khona lisizwa lathi kube lomdumo. Abanye bathi: Ingilosi ikhulume laye. 30 UJesu waphendula wathi: Lelilizwi kalizanga ngenxa yami, kodwa ngenxa yenua. 31 Khathesi kulesigwebo salumhlabab; khathesi umbusi walumhlabac uzaxotshelwa phandled. 32 Mina-ke nxa ngiphakanyiswa emhlabenie, ngizadonselaf bonke kimig. 33 Watsho-ke lokhuh etshengisa uhlobo lokufa ayezakufa ngaloi.

34 Ixuku lamphendula lathi: Thina sezwa emlaywenij ukuthi uKristu uhlala phakadek; njalo ungatsho njani ukuthi: INdodana yomuntu imele ukuphakanyiswal? Ingubani le iNdodana yomuntu? 35 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Kuseyisikhatshanam ukukhanyan lilakhoo. Hambani liselokukhanya, hlezi umnyama ulehlulep; njalo ohamba emnyameni kazi lapho aya khonaq. 36 Liselokukhanya, kholwani kukho ukukhanya, ukuze libe ngabantwana bokukhanyar. UJesu wakhuluma lezizinto, wasuka, wabacatshelas.

37 Lanxa wayenze izibonakaliso ezinengi kangaka phambi kwabot, kabakholwanga kuye; 38 ukuze ligcwaliseke ilizwi likaIsaya umprofethi, alikhulumayo elokuthi: Nkosi, ngubani okholwe intshumayelo yethu? Lengalo yeNkosi yembulelwa baniu? 39 Ngakho babengelakho ukukholwa, ngoba uIsaya wabuya wathi: 40 Uphumputhekisile amehlo abov, wayenza lukhuni inhliziyo yabo; ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo, baqedisise ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, besengibasilisaw. 41 UIsaya wakhuluma lezizintox, lapho ebona inkazimulo yakhe, wakhuluma ngayey. 42 Loba kunjalo-ke labanengi bababusiz bakholwa kuyea; kodwa ngenxa yabaFarisi kabavumangab, ukuze bangakhutshwa esinagogenic; 43 ngoba bathanda udumo lwabantu kulodumo lukaNkulunkulud.

44 UJesu wasememeza esithie: Okholwa kimi, kakholwa kimif, kodwa kuye ongithumileyog; 45 njalo obona mina, ubona ongithumileyoh. 46 Mina ngizile ngiyikukhanya emhlabeni, ukuze wonke okholwa kimi, angahlali emnyamenii. 47 Njalo uba ekhona owezwayo amazwi ami angakholwa, mina kangimgwebij; ngoba kangizanga ukuthi ngigwebe umhlaba, kodwa ukuze ngisindise umhlabak. 48 Yenal ongalayo engawemukeli amazwi ami, ulaye omgwebayom; ilizwi esengilikhulumilen, lona lizamgwebao ngosuku lokucinap. 49 Ngoba mina kangizikhulumelanga ngokwamiq; kodwa uBaba ongithumileyo, nguye onginike umlayor, wokuthi ngizathini lokuthi ngizakhulumanis. 50 Njalo ngiyazi ukuthi umlayo wakhe uyimpilo elaphakade; ngakho izinto mina engizikhulumayo, njengokutsho kukaBaba kimi, ngokunjalo ngiyakhulumat.
