13 Pea kuo fakataha ʻe Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kakai,
14 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou ʻomi ʻae tangata ni kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ha taha ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻae kakai pea vakai, kuo u ʻekeaia ʻi homou ʻao; pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻoe tangata ni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou talatalaakiʻi ai ia:
15 Pea ko Helota foki; he naʻaku fekau ʻakimoutolu kiate ia; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke mate ai ia.”
16 Ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”

18 Pea naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ʻae tangata ni, kae tuku mai ʻa Palāpasa kiate kimautolu:”

20 Ka naʻe loto ʻa Pailato ke tukuange ʻa Sisu, ko ia ne ne toe lea ai kiate kinautolu.
21 Ka naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tutuki ki he ʻakau, tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.”
22 Pea lea ia kiate kinautolu ko hono tuʻo tolu, “Koeʻumaʻā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia: ko ia te u tautea ia, pea tukuange.”
