19Ngakho uPilatu wamthatha uJesu, wamtshaya ngesiswepua. 2 Labebutho beluka umqhele wameva bawubeka ekhanda lakheb, bamgqokisa isembatho esiyibubendec, 3 basebesithi: Bayethe, Nkosi yamaJuda! Basebemtshaya ngempamad. 4 UPilatu wasebuya waphumela phandle, wathi kubo: Khangelani, ngiyamkhuphela phandle kinie, ukuze lazi ukuthi kangitholi lacala kuyef g. 5 UJesu wasephumela phandle, ethwele umqhele wameva embethe isembatho esiyibubende. UPilatu wasesithi kubo: Khangelani lumuntu!

6 Kwathi abapristi abakhulu labancedisih bembona, bamemeza bathi: Bethela, bethela! UPilatu wathi kubo: Mthatheni lina, limbethele; ngoba mina kangitholi cala kuyei. 7 AmaJuda amphendula athi: Silomlayo thina, langokomlayo wethu ufanele ukufaj, ngoba uzenze iNdodana kaNkulunkuluk. 8 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelolizwi, wesaba kakhulul, 9 wangena futhi endlini yombusim, wathi kuJesu: Uvela ngaphi wenan? Kodwa uJesu kamnikanga mpenduloo. 10 Khona uPilatu wathi kuye: Kawukhulumi lami yini? Kawazi yini ukuthi ngilamandla okukubethela, njalo ngilamandla okukukhulula? 11 UJesu wamphendula wathi: Ungeke ube lamandla phezu kwamip, uba ungawanikwangaq evela phezulur; ngakho onginikele kuwe ulesono esikhulus. 12 Kusukela lapho uPilatu wadinga ukumkhulula. Kodwa amaJuda amemeza athi: Uba ukhulula lo, kawusuye umngane kaKesari; wonke ozenza inkosi, uphikisana loKesarit. 13 Kwathi uPilatu esizwa lelilizwi wamkhuphela phandle uJesuu, wahlala phansi esihlalweni sokwahlulela, endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi Gandelwe ngaMatshev, kodwa ngesiHebheru yiGabathaw; 14 njalo kwakungamalungiselelo ephasikax, njalo kwakungaba lihola* lesithuphay; wasesithi kumaJuda: Khangelani inkosi yenuz! 15 Kodwa amemeza athi: Susa, susa, mbethelea! UPilatu wathi kuwo: Ngibethele yini inkosi yenu? Abapristi abakhulu baphendula bathi: Kasilankosi ngaphandle kukaKesarib. 16 Ngakho wasemnikela kubo, ukuze abethelwec. Basebemthatha uJesu bamqhubad.

17 Kwathi ethwele isiphambanoe sakhe waphuma waya endaweni ethiwa yiNdawo yokhakhayif, ethiwa ngesiHebheru yiGolgotha; 18 lapho abambethela khona, labanye ababili kanye laye, ngapha langapha, loJesu ephakathig. 19 UPilatu wasebhala lesaziso, wasiphanyeka esiphambanweni; njalo kwakubhalwe ukuthi: UJESU UMNAZARETHA INKOSI YAMAJUDAh. 20 Lalesisaziso abanengi bamaJuda basifunda, ngoba indawo lapho uJesu ayebethelwe khona yayiseduze lomuzii; njalo kwakubhalwe ngesiHebheru, ngesiGriki, langesiRomaj. 21 Abapristi abakhulu bamaJuda basebesithi kuPilatu: Ungabhali ukuthi: INkosi yamaJuda; kodwa ukuthi lo wathi: NgiyiNkosi yamaJuda. 22 UPilatu waphendula wathi: Engikubhalileyo, ngikubhalilek.

23 Kwathi abebutho, sebembethele uJesul, bathatha izembatho zakhe, basebezenza izabelo ezine, ngulowo lalowo owebutho waba lesabelom, lesigqoko; kodwa isigqoko sasingelamthungon, selukiwe sonke kusukela phezulu. 24 Ngakho bakhulumisana besithi: Kasingasidabuli, kodwa asisenzele inkatho, ukuthi sizakuba ngesikabani; ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Babelana izembatho zami, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngesigqoko samio. Azenza-ke lezizinto amabutho.

25 Kwakumi esiphambanweni sikaJesu unina, lodadewabo kaninap, uMariyaq umkaKlophasi, loMariya Magadalenar. 26 Ngakho uJesu ebona unina, lomfundi amthandayo emi khonas, wathi kunina: Mama, khangela indodana yakhot. 27 Emva kwalokho wathi kumfundi: Khangela unyoko. Kusukela ngalelohola lowomfundi wamthatha wamusa kwakheu.

28 Emva kwalokhu uJesu ekwazi ukuthi konke kwasekuphelile, ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalov, wathi: Ngomile. 29 Kwakubekwe isitsha sigcwele ivinigaw; basebegcwalisa uzipho ngevinigax, baluhloma kuhisope*, balusa emlonyeni wakhey. 30 Kwathi-ke uJesu elemukele iviniga, wathi: Kuphelilez; wasekhothamisa ikhanda, wanikela umoyaa.

31 Ngakho amaJuda, ngoba kwakungamalungiselelob, ukuze izidumbu zingahlali esiphambanweni ngesabathac (ngoba lolosuku lwesabatha lwalulukhulud), acela uPilatu ukuthi yephulwe imilenze yabo, njalo basuswe. 32 Ngakho abebutho beza, bephula imilenze yowokuqala leyomunye ababebethelwe laye; 33 kodwa sebefika kuJesu, kwathi bebona ukuthi wayesefile, kabayephulanga imilenze yakhe; 34 kodwa omunye webutho wamgwaza ngomkhonto ehlangothini, njalo kwahle kwaphuma igazi lamanzie. 35 Yena owabonayo ufakazile, njalo ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile, yena-ke uyazi ukuthi ukhuluma okuliqiniso, ukuze lina likholwef. 36 Ngoba lezizinto zenzeka ukuze kugcwaliseke umbhalo othi: Kakuyikwephulwa thambo lakheg. 37 Njalo lomunye umbhalo uthi: Bazamkhangela abamgwazileyoh.

38 Kwathi emva kwalezizinto uJosefa weArimathiyai, owayengumfundi kaJesu, kodwa ngasese ngenxa yokwesaba amaJudaj, wacela kuPilatu ukuthi asuse isidumbu sikaJesu; futhi uPilatu wavuma. Ngakho weza wasisusa isidumbu sikaJesu. 39 Kwasekusiza loNikodimak, owafika kuJesu kuqala ebusuku, ephethe inhlanganisol yemure*m lenhlaban engaba amaphawundi alikhuluo. 40 Basebesithatha isidumbu sikaJesu, basibopha ngamalembu acolekileyo kanye lamakhap, njengomkhuba wamaJuda wokungcwabaq. 41 Njalo kwakukhona kuleyondawo ayebethelwe khona isivande, lesivandeni kwakulengcwaba elitsha, okwakungazange kubekwe muntu kulo. 42 Basebembeka lapho uJesu ngenxa yamalungiselelo amaJuda, ngoba ingcwaba laliseduzer.
