UJesu labaphostoli bakhe bayafika endaweni le enhle elezihlahla zama-oliva. Kodwa abaphostoli bakhe abayisitshiyagalombili kumele ukuthi basala duze lentuba yesivande ngoba uthi kubo: “Hlalani lapha ngisake ngiyethandaza laphaya.” Uthatha abaphostoli abathathu uPhetro loJakhobe kanye loJohane abesengena phakathi esivandeni. Uyakhathazeka kakhulu abesesithi kubo: “Inhliziyo yami ibuhlungu kakhulu, kuthi ngife. Salani lapha, lihlale liphapheme kanye lami.”​—UMathewu 26:36-38.

AmaRoma ayebahlukuluza kabuhlungu abantu ayebabulala njalo uJesu wathi esezulwini wakubona lokho. Ngakho kuyamkhathaza ukuthi laye uzakuzwa ubuhlungu obunjalo nxa esesifa. Kanti njalo okumzwisa ubuhlungu kakhulu yikuthi uzabulawa njengesigebenga besekungcolisa ibizo likaYise. Ngemva kwamahola amalutshwana nje uzabethelwa esigodweni angani ngumuntu othuke uNkulunkulu.
