³³Mbwenye Pedhru antawira kuti: “Ine ndiri dzololo kuti ndipite n'kaidi, na kufa pabodzi na imwe.”

³⁴Yezu ampanga kuti: “Pedhru, Ine ndinakupanga kuti lero ene, iwe unati undikhonde katatu, kuti nkhabe kundidziwa, dzongwe mbidzati kulira.”

³⁵Na tenepo, Yezu aabvundza anyakupfundza ace kuti: “Kodi pidakutumani Ine mbamukhonda kukwata cikhwama, peno budu, peno nsapato, ciripo cikhadasowa imwe?” Iwo antawira kuti: “Nkhabe!”

³⁶Mbwenye Yezu aapanga kuti: “Mphapo cincino, ule ana cikhwama peno budu, mbaikwate. Pontho ule adasowa tarasada, mbagulise kapoti yace, toera na kobiri eneyo agule nayo tarasada ibodzi.”

³⁷Thangwi Bukhu ya Mulungu yalonga tenepa: “Iye alengeswa ninga m'bodzi wa mapanga.” Apo Ine ndisakupangani kuti penepyo pisatongwa pisimbiswe muna Ine. Ande, pidalembiwa na thangwi yanga, pisafuna pisimbiswe.

³⁸Penepo anyakupfundza ace ampanga tenepa: “Mbuya, tinawo pano matarasada mawiri.” Yezu aatawira kuti: “Akwana!”

³⁹Yezu abuluka mbaenda pa phiri ya mulivera, pabodzi pene na anyakupfundza ace, ninga nsambo wace.

⁴⁰Pidafika iye pa mbuto eneyo, Yezu aapanga anyakupfundza ace kuti: “Phemberani, kuti mukhonde kugwa m'manyengerero a kuipa.”

⁴¹Na tenepo, Yezu aenda pang'ono pa khundu, nsindzo unakwana dhuzi na mathanyo makumatatu. Penepo, agodama mbatoma kuphembera,

⁴²mbalonga tenepa: “Baba, mungafuna ndibulusireni ndiko iyi ya nyatwa! Mphapo lekani kucita kufuna kwanga, mbwenye kufuna kwanu.”

⁴³Na tenepo, anju wa kudzulu abulukira mbampasa mphambvu.

⁴⁴Yezu pakati pa kutsukwala kukulu, atoma kuphembera na mphambvu zonsene. Penepo akhabuluka kaluma, mbikhadjodja pantsi ninga mathoto a ciropa.

⁴⁵Pakumala kuphembera, Yezu alamuka mbaenda kuna anyakupfundza ace. Penepo, aagumana mbakhagona na thangwi ya kutsukwala.

⁴⁶Na tenepo, Iye aabvundza kuti: “Thangwi yanji musagona?” Lamukani muphembere toera mukhonde kugwa m'manyengerero a kuipa.

⁴⁷Yezu mbadzati kumala kulonga, wafika mwinji wa anthu, ukhatsogolerwa na Djuda, m'bodzi wa anyakupfundza khumi na awiri a Yezu. Iye afika dhuzi na Yezu toera kumpsompsona.

⁴⁸Mbwenye Yezu ampanga kuti: “Kodi iwe Djuda, usandigulisa Ine Mwana wa Munthu na mpsompsono?”

⁴⁹Ale akhakhala na Yezu, pidaona iwo pikhafuna kucitika, alonga tenepa: “Mbuya, tiateme na matarasada?”

⁵⁰M'bodzi wawo aphekesa nyabasa wa nkulu wa anyantsembe, mban'gwanda khutu ya madyo.

⁵¹Mbwenye Yezu atawira kuti: “Siyani, pyakwana.” Mbakhuya khutu ya mamuna, mbamuwangisa.

⁵²Penepo Yezu abvundza kuna akulu aanyantsembe, kuna akulu anyakuonera Nyumba ya Mulungu, na kuna atsogoleri a madjuda akhadza mbansaka, kuti: “Thangwi yanji mwabwera na matarasada, na miti, ninga ndine phanga?

⁵³Ine ndikhakhala na imwe ntsiku zonsene mu Nyumba ya Mulungu, mbwenye imwe mudandiphata tayu. Apo uno ndiwo n'dzidzi wanu na wa mphambvu za cidima.”

⁵⁴Na tenepo, am'manga mbankwata mbaenda naye ku nyumba ya nkulu wa anyantsembe, Pedhru mbakhantowera na kutali.

⁵⁵Mbwenye mudagasa iwo moto pakati pa thando onsene mbakhala pantsi, Pedhru akhalambo pantsi nawo pabodzi.

⁵⁶Nyabasa m'bodzi wa nkazi, amuona Pedhru mbakhaotha moto. Iye amulang'anisisa mbalonga tenepa: “Mamuna uyu akhali pabodzi na Yezu.”

⁵⁷Mbwenye Pedhru akhonda, mbalonga kuti: “Nkaziwe, ine nkhabe kun'dziwa.”

⁵⁸Thimize pang'ono, munthu unango amuona mbalonga tenepa: “Iwe ndiwembo m'bodzi wawo.” Pedhru antawira kuti: “Mamunawe, sine tayu!”

⁵⁹Mudapita n'dzidzi ubodzi, unango alonga tenepa: “Ndimo mwenedi, mamuna uyu akhali naye pabodzi, thangwi ndi wa kugalileyambo.”

⁶⁰Pedhru atawira tenepa: “Mamunawe, ine nkhabe kupidziwa pinalonga iwe.” Mukhalonga iye penepyo, dzongwe ya lira.

⁶¹Mbuya azungunuka mbalang'anisisa Pedhru. Penepo Pedhru akumbuka fala ikhadapangwa iye na Mbuya kuti: “Lero, dzongwe mbidzati kulira, iwe unandikhonda katatu.”

⁶²Pedhru abuluka penepo mbalira pikulu kakamwe.

⁶³Amuna akhaonera Yezu, atoma kunsingirira mbakham'menya.

⁶⁴Akhanfunga maso ace, mbakhambvundza kuti: “Cincino iwe mporofeta, lotera! Mbani adakumenya?”

⁶⁵Iwo akhamulongera mafala anango mazinji akuxola.

⁶⁶Pidaca kunja, agumanyikana akulu-akulu a mbumba, na anango akulu aanyantsembe, na anyakudziwisa a mwambo, mbadzesa Yezu mu nyumba ya kutongera miseru.

⁶⁷Iwo ambvundzisa kuti: “Ngakhala iwe ndiwe Kirixtu, tipange.” Penepo Yezu aatawira tenepa: “Ndingakupangani, imwe nkhabe kunditawira.

⁶⁸Pontho ine ndingakubvundzani, imwe nkhabe kunditawira mbvundzo wanga.

⁶⁹Mbwenye kutomera cincino mpaka kutsogolo, Ine Mwana wa Munthu, ndinati ndikhale ku nkono wa madyo wa Mulungu wa mphambvu.”

⁷⁰Onsene ambvundza kuti: “Na tenepo, iwe ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu?” Iye aatawira tenepa: “Imwe ndimwe munalonga kuti ine ndine.”
