17 UJesu wathi esesiya* eJerusalema wabizela abafundi bakhe abangu-12 eceleni wathi kubo:+ 18 “Lalelani! Siya* eJerusalema njalo iNdodana yomuntu izanikelwa kubaphristi abakhokhelayo lababhali. Bazayigwebela ukufa+ 19 bayinikele ebantwini bezizweni ukuze bahlekise ngayo futhi bayibhaxabule, besebeyibethela esigodweni,+ ivuswe ngelanga lesithathu.”+

31 Waqalisa ukubafundisa ukuthi iNdodana yomuntu kumele yehlelwe zinhlupho ezinengi, ilahlwe ngabadala labaphristi abakhokhelayo kanye lababhali, ibisibulawa,+ ivuke ngemva kwamalanga amathathu.+

31 Wayefundisa abafundi bakhe esithi: “INdodana yomuntu izanikelwa* ezandleni zabantu bayibulale.+ Kodwa lanxa izabulawa, izavuka ngemva kwamalanga amathathu.”+

22 Kodwa wathi: “INdodana yomuntu kumele yehlelwe zinhlupho ezinengi, ilahlwe ngabadala labaphristi abakhokhelayo kanye lababhali, ibisibulawa,+ ivuswe ngelanga lesithathu.”+

31 Wabizela abaliTshumi Lambili eceleni wathi kubo: “Lalelani! Siya* eJerusalema njalo zonke izinto ezabhalwa ngabaphrofethi mayelana leNdodana yomuntu zizagcwaliseka.+ 32 Ngokwesibonelo, izanikelwa ebantwini bezizweni+ bahlekise ngayo,+ bayihlukuluze futhi bayikhafulele.+ 33 Bazayibhaxabula besebeyibulala+ kodwa ngelanga lesithathu izavuka.”+
