Ngokuya NgoMatewu
28 Ngemva kweSabatha, nakusako ngelanga lokuthoma leveke, uMariya Marhdalina nomunye uMariya beza bazokuqala ithuna.+
2 Khonokho, kwaba nokusikinyeka kwephasi okukhulu ngombana ingilozi kaJehova* yehla ivela ezulwini yageda ilitje, yahlala phezu kwalo.+ 3 Ukuqaleka kwayo bekunjengombani, nezambatho zayo bezimhlophe njengegabhogo.+ 4 Abonogada bathuswe ngiyo, bavevezela, baba njengabantu abafileko.
5 Kodwana ingilozi yakhuluma nabafazi yathi: “Ningathukwa ngombana ngiyazi ukuthi nifuna uJesu obulawelwe esigodweni.+ 6 Akekho la, uvusiwe njengombana atjho.+ Yizani nizokubona lapho ebekalele khona. 7 Yeke khambani msinya niyokubikela abafundi bakhe bona uvusiwe kwabafileko begodu unikhambela phambili uya eGalile.+ Nizombona lapho. Ngithunywe bona ngizonitjela lokhu.”+
8 Msinyana basuka ethuneni,* bathukiwe kodwana bathabe khulu, bagijima bayokubikela abafundi bakhe.+ 9 UJesu wahlangana nabo wathi: “Lotjhani!” Batjhidela kuye babamba iinyawo zakhe bamkhothamela. 10 UJesu wathi kibo: “Ningasabi! Khambani niyokubikela abafowethu bona baye eGalile, bazongibona khona.”
11 Kuthe nabasendleleni, abanye abonogada+ baya ngedorobheni bayokubikela abaphristi abakhulu zoke izinto ezenzekileko. 12 Bahlangana nabadala babonisana, ngemva kwalokho banikela amasotja ebekabonogada iimpaparwana zesiliva ezinengi 13 bawatjela ukuthi athi ebantwini: “‘Kufike abafundi bakhe ebusuku silele bameba.’+ 14 Nakungenzeka indaba le ifike eendlebeni zombusi, sizomhlathululela, nina ningatshwenyeki.” 15 Bathatha iimpaparwana zesiliva abanikelwe zona benza ngendlela abalayelwe ngayo, indaba le yarhatjheka kumaJuda bekube kunamhlanjesi.
16 Nokho, abafundi abali-11 baya eGalile+ entabeni lapho uJesu athi bazokuhlangana khona.+ 17 Nabambonako, bamkhothamela kodwana abanye bazaza. 18 UJesu watjhidela wakhuluma nabo, wathi: “Nginikelwe loke ilawulo ezulwini nephasini.+ 19 Yeke, khambani niyokwenza abantu bazo zoke iintjhaba babe bafundi,+ nibabhabhadise+ egameni lakaBaba neleNdodana nelommoya ocwengileko, 20 nibafundise ukwenza koke enginiyale ngakho.+ Qalani! Nginani imihla yoke bekube sekupheleni kwephasi.”+
