¹⁵Naye Herodi pfipfila katuyitsila twetwe munu yuno, kwaapfila ng'onile bae totso lyake. Apfo, imunu ayu ng'atendile chochose bae ichimtenda akomighwe.

¹⁶Apfo nitsomtowa kuya nitsomlekelela.”

¹⁷Kwaapfila Herodi tsakabamighwa amlekelele mwohighwa yumwe mne chihungo.

¹⁸Iwanu wose wakemelela lumwe, “Umkome imunu ayu! Utulekelele Baraba!”
