Isidlo SeKosi Santambama

Khona esidlwenesi, uJesu ufundise abapostoli bakhe isifundo sokuthobeka nakabahlambisa iinyawo. Nje, ngemva kwesidlo sePhasika udzubhula amezwi kaDavida asiphorofido, athi: “Ngitjho nomkhozami engimethembako, iye, loyo onghwatha nami ungiphendukele waba mkhapheli.” Ngemva kwalokho uyahlathulula, uthi: “Omunye wenu uzongithengisa.”—IRhubo 41:10; Jwanisi 13:18, 21.

Abapostoli bayaqalana, begodu ngamunye uyabuza: “Kosi, akusingimi, angitjho?” Ngitjho noJudasi Iskariyodi uyabuza. UPitrosi ukhuthaza uJwanisi ohlezi eduze noJesu bona abuzisise ukuthi ngubani. Yeke, uJwanisi uyama kuJesu, uyambuza: “Kosi, ngubani?”—Matewu 26:22; Jwanisi 13:25.

UJesu uthi: “Ngiloyo engizomnikela isiqetjhana sesikwa engisitjhebileko.” Yeke utjheba isikwa esingesitjeni esisetafuleni, usinikela uJudasi, uthi: “INdodana yomuntu iyakhamba, njengombana kutloliwe ngayo, kodwana maye ngaloyo iNdodana yomuntu ezokuthengiswa nguye! Bekuzokuba ngcono ngomuntu loyo ngathana azange abelethwe.” (Jwanisi 13:26; Matewu 26:24) Ngemva kwalokho, uSathana ungena kuJudasi. Indoda esele ikhohlakele le, izinikela kuDeveli bona yenze intandwakhe, ngalokho iba ‘yindodana yokutjhatjalaliswa.’—Jwanisi 6:64, 70; 12:4; 17:12.

UJesu uthi kuJudasi: “Lokho okwenzako, kwenze msinyana khulu.” Abanye abapostoli bacabanga bona njengombana uJudasi aphatha ibhoksi lemali, uJesu uthi kuye: “‘Khamba uyokuthenga izinto esizitlhogela umnyanya,’ namkha ukuthi kufuze anikele abadududu okuthileko.” (Jwanisi 13:27-30) Kunalokho, uJudasi uyakhamba uyokukghaphela uJesu.

Ntambama njengombana isidlo sePhasika siragela phambili, uJesu uthomisa omunye umhlobo omutjha wesidlo. Uthatha isikwa, bese uthokoza uZimu, uyasihlephula, usinikela abapostoli bakhe bona basidle. Uthi: “Lokhu kutjho umzimbami, ozokunikelwa ngebanga lenu. Hlalani nikwenza lokhu bona ningikhumbule.” (Lukasi 22:19) Isiqetjhana sesikweso abapostoli babelana ngaso, bayasidla.

Nje, uJesu uthatha ikapho yewayini, uthokoza uZimu begodu uyidlulisela kibo. Ngamunye usela iwayini leyo uJesu athi ngayo: “Ikapho le itjho isivumelwano esitjha esiqinisekiswa ngeengazi zami, ezizokuphalazwa ngebanga lenu.”—Lukasi 22:20.

Ngalokhu uJesu uhlela isikhumbuzo sokufa kwakhe, abalandeli bakhe ekufuze basikhumbule qobe mnyaka ngoNisan 14. Sizobakhumbuza lokho uJesu noYise abakwenzileko ukusiza abantu abakholwako babalekele isigwebo sesono nokufa. Ilungiselelweli linikela abantu abakholwako itjhaphuluko yamambala, ukudlula iPhasika lamaJuda.

UJesu uthi iingazi zakhe, ‘zizokuphalazwa ngebanga labanengi bona kulitjalelwe izono.’ Abanye abazokufumana ukulitjalelwokho, bapostoli bakhe abathembekileko nabanye abafana nabo. Bazokuba naye emBusweni kaYise.—Matewu 26:28, 29.
