ISAHLUKO 18—PAMBI KO-ANNAS, CAIPHAS KWA NE BHUNGA-LAMA-JUDA

U-YESU walandelwa ukusuka kulowo myezo we Getsemani libubu elalihamba libomboloza. Waye hamba ehlungiseka, ngokuba izandla Zake zazibotshwe ngokuqinileyo, Wabe-ke engqingwe ngokuxineneyo. Wasiwa kuqala endlwini kaAnnas, owayeke engu-mbingeleli omkulu, koko indawo yake ngoku yayi seyitatwe ngu-mkwenyana wake uCaiphas.KMW 117.1

U-Annas okukohlakala wayecele ukuba u-Yesu umNazarete aqale asiwe kuye engumbanjwa osezintanjeni. Wayetembe ukuzuza Kuye ubunqhina awayengati Amgwebe ngabo.KMW 117.2

Enalo njongo wabuza ku-Msindisi ngabafundi Bake nange mfundiso Yake. U-Kristu wapendula:KMW 117.3

“Ndateta Mna ngokungafihlisiyo kulo ihlabati; Mna Ndahlala ndifundisa endlwini-ye-sikungu, nase tempileni, apo ama-Juda abesakubutelana kona evela kumacala onke, emfihlekweni anditetanga nto.”KMW 117.4

Waza, eguqukela kobe buza, Wati, “Yinina ukuba ubuze-Kum? Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayiteta kubo.” John 18: 20, 21.KMW 117.5

Ababingeleli nqu-bona babemise o-ntamnani bokulalela u-Kristu baze banike ingxelo yawo onke amazwi Ake. Ngaba ntamnani babezazi inteto Zake kwa-nemisebenzi Yake kwintlanganiso nganye zabantu Abesakuya kuzo. Ontamnani abo babezungula ukumbambisa emazwini Ake, ukuze bafumane nto ababe ngamgweba ngayo. Ngoko u-Msindisi wati, “Buza kwabo bayivileyo into endayiteta kubo.” Yiya ko-ntamnani bako. Bakuvile endakuteta kubo. Banokukuxelela ngobuni bemfundiso Yam.KMW 117.6

Amazwi ka-Kristu aye nokugocagoca etsolile ngangokude u-mbingeleli abe noluvo lokuba lo-mbanjwa wake ufunda umpefumlo (ingcinga) wake kanye.KMW 118.1

Kodwa omnye wabakonzi baka-Annas, ecinga ukuba u-mfundisi wake ubenga nikwanga mbeko iyiyo, wammonxoza u-Yesu ebusweni esiti:KMW 118.2

“Upendula u-mbingeleli omkulu ngolu hlobo?”KMW 118.3

Kulento u-Yesu ngobulali wati:KMW 118.4

“Ukuba nditete kakubi, nqinela ububi obo; kodwa ukuba Nditete kakuhle undibetela-nina?” John 18: 22, 23.KMW 118.5

U-Kristu waye ngabiza imikosi ye-zitunywa zezulu ipume e-Zulwini izokumnceda. Kodwa yayiyi nxalenye yomsebenzi Wake awaye tunywe wona ukuba anyamezele ebuntwin’ obo Bake ukugculelwa konke nocukucezo olwalu ngafunjwa ngabantu pezu Kwake.KMW 118.6

Ukusuka kuleyo ka-Annas indlu, u-Msindisi wasiwa kwi-botwe lika Caiphas. Waye zakuvavanywa pambi kwe-Bhunga-lama-Juda kwaza akubon’ ukuba amalungu alo ahlanganisene onke, O-Annas no-Caiphas babuya ba-Mbuza, kodwa abazuzanga kulungelwa.KMW 118.7

Ati akuhlala amalungu e-Bhunga lama-Juda, u-Caiphas watabata isihlalo so-bengameli. Kwi-cala ngalinye kwakuko abagwebi; ngapambi kwabo ingama soldati obu-Roma esalusa u-Msindisi lowo; emva kwawo iyilombutumbutu emangeleyo.KMW 118.8

Waza-ke u-Caiphas wayalela u-Yesu ukuba enze omnye waleyo mimangaliso Yake mikulu pambi kwabo. Kodwa u-Msindisi akazanga wanika nembonakaliso yokuba uke weva nalizwi kulonto. Ukuba wayeke wapendula nangokunye ukukangela kogocagoco, ngokoko wayenze kubatengi nabatengisi paya etempileni, yonke lo ndimbane ebabulali ngeyesabayo pambi Kwake.KMW 119.1

Ama-Juda ngelixesha ebepantsi kwama-Roma, aye ngena lungelo lakohlwaya mntu ngokumbulala. I-Bhunga-lama-Juda laliqwalasela-nje ityala lo-mbanjwa, lize isigwebo lisigqitisele ukuqinisekiswa ngabase kongameni begunya lobu-Roma.KMW 119.2

Ukupumeza elocebo labo lobubi, babemelwe kukufuna into yokumcasa u-Msindisi engatatwa ngokobapuli-mteto yi-ruluneli yobu-Roma. Babe nokufumana ubunqhina obuninzi bokuba u-Kristu lo wateta ngokucasa izitete zobu-Juda ne mimiselo yawo emininzi. Kwakulula ukunqhina ukuba wanyelisa aba bingeleli naba-bhali nokuba Wababiza ngokuti abahanahanisi naba-bulali. Kodwa lento yayi ngasokupulapulwa ngama-Roma, ngokuba won okwawo aye seleruqukile lunywalazo lwaba Farisi.KMW 119.3

Maninzi amatyala awaye mangalelwa ngawo u-Kristu, koko kwa amanqhina ayengahlangani, okanye ubunqhina babu kwisimo esasinga sokwamkelwa ngamaRoma, Balinga ukumenza atete ngokokupendula ezo zimangalo zabo, koko Wabonakala ngokonga bevanga. Ukuti-cwaka kuka Kristu ngelixesha kwabaliswa ukuba yilento ngum-profeti Yesaya:KMW 119.4

“Wakandaniswa, wabandezelwa, akawuvula noko umlomo Wake: Waqhutywa njenge-mvu esiwa ekuxelweni, nanjenge-mvu esimuma pambi kwabacebi bayo, akawuvula u-mlomo Wake.” Yesaya 53: 7.KMW 120.1

Ababingeleli baqala ukoyika ukuba abaz’ukufumana bunqhina bokummangalela lo-mbanjwa wabo pambi koPilato. Baba noluvo lokuba kuke kwenziwe libe linye ilinga, lokugqibela. Umbingeleli-omkulu wasipakamisela e-Zulwini isandla sokunene sake, wabhekisa ku-Yesu ngalo ndlela yesifungo sondiliseko:KMW 120.2

“Ndikufungisa u-Tixo opilileyo, ukuba usixelele ukuba unguye-na u-Kristu u-Nyana ka-Tixo.” Mateyu 26: 63.KMW 120.3

U-Msindisi akazanga wawukanyela umsebenzi Wake okanye ubalamano Bake ku-Yise. Angad’abe Watula kucukucezo olwalusingisele kwesise Sake isiqu, kodwa wahlal’ eteta ngokupandle nangokuqinisekileyo xa umsebenzi nobu-Nyana-Bake babutandatyuzwa.KMW 120.4

Yonke indlebe yavulelwa ukupulapula, nawo amehlo abo bonke ngamnye agxunyekwa Kuye xa wapendulayo:KMW 120.5

“Uselutshilo nawe.”KMW 120.6

Ngokwesiko laleyo mihla lento yayifana nokupendula ngokuti, “Ewe,” nokuti, “Kunjengoko sowutshilo.” Le yeyona ndlela ezimasekileyo yokomeleza impendulo ewe.KMW 120.7

U-kanyo lwase-zulwini lwakanyisela) obo buso buxwebileyo bo-Msindisi akubon’ ukuba uti:KMW 120.8

“Kodwa-ke Nditi kuni, Emva koku niya kumbonau-Nyana womntu, ehleli ngasekunene kwamandla, esiza esemafini e-Zulu.” Mateyu 26: 64.KMW 120.9

Ngale nteto u-Msindisi Wabeka-pambi-kwabo ingu- qulelo yeso sibonelo esasisenzeka ngoko. Wasingisa kwixesha elizayo xa Ayakutabata isihlalo sokuba ngu-Mgwebi Omkulu wase Zulwini nase-mhlabeni. Uyakuhlala ngoko kweka Yise itroni, kwaye kwe-Sake isigwebo kungasokubako sibheno. Wabeka pambi kwabapulapuli Bake imbonakalo yalowo mhla, xa kuyakuti endaweni yokuba angqongwe agculelwe sisihlwele esipitizelayo, Uyakuza ekuwo amafu e-Zulu enamandla nobuqaqauli obukulu. Ngelo xesha Woba engungwe (epahlwe) yimikosi yezitunywa-zezulu (ingelosi). Ngelo xesha Uya kuwisa isigwebo pezu kwe-ntshaba Zake, ekuya kubako pakati kwazo kwa eso siqu esasi mmangalela.KMW 120.10

Akubon’ ukuba u-Yesu utete amazwi ezixela ukuba ungu-Nyana ka-Tixo, no-Mgwebi wehlabati, u-mbingeleli omkulu wayirazula ingubo yake njengobonisa umotuko wake. Wazipakamisela e-zulwini izandla zake, esiti:KMW 121.1

“Unyelisile; sisawafunela-nina amanqhina? yabonani, ngoku nikuvile ukunyelisa Kwake. Nicinga ntonina nina?” Abagwebi bapendula, “Une tyala lokuba afe.” Mateyu 26: 65, 66.KMW 121.2

Kwaku pambene no-mteto wama-Juda ukuvavanywa ko-mbanjwa ngokuhlwa. Nangona isigwebo sika Kristu sasesigqityiwe, kwakumele ukuhanjwa ngokwesiko lovavanyo emini.KMW 121.3

U-Yesu wasiwa kwigumbi labalindi, waza elapo waba pantsi kokugculelwa kwadlalwa ngaye ngalawo masoldati nayilo-mbutumbutu.KMW 121.4

Ekutini-qip’ukusa Wabuya weziswa pambi kwabagwebi, saza isigqibo esimiyo somgwebo sawiswa.KMW 121.5

Ubujora obubusatana baziwela inkokeli kwa nabantu umgqumo wengxobotshane wafana nowamarancwa. Besuk’ indulumbane pezu ko-Yesu, bebomboloza, “Unetyala, mbulale Yena!” ukuba kwakungeko masoldati, Ngawayenziwe iziqwenga. Kodwa ulaulo lwe-Roma lwalamla, lwaza ngo mkosi oxobileyo lwabutintela uburalarume balo-ndimbane.KMW 122.1

Ababingeleli, abapati ne-mbutumbutu batelelana ngokudlala ngo-Msindisi. Ingubo endala yaposwa pezu kwe-ntloko Yake; nabatshutshisi Bake bambeta ebusweni besiti:KMW 122.2

“Siprofetele Wena Kristu ubetwe ngubanina.” Mateyu 26: 68.KMW 122.3

Xa yasuswayo ingubo, omnye kuleyo ndimbane egculelayo watshicela ebusweni bo-Msindisi.KMW 122.4

Ingelose zika Tixo zabala konke ukukangela kokucukuceza, ilizwi, ne-senzo esasicase lowo Mteteli wazo oyintanda. Ngenye imini wona lawo madoda angendawo awayehlekisa etshicela obobuso buxolileyo buxwebileyo buka-Kristu aya kubukangela buse buqaqaulini babo bukanya bubengezela kune langa.KMW 122.5
