Konke ukujikelezisa lowo mmandla wo-mnqamlezo yayi bubumnyama obushiceneyo ngokokwapakati kobusuku. Obu bumnyama bunge bamvelo babambelela iyure (amaxa) amatatu.KMW 152.4

Ngalo eloxesha ubumnyama babute-zinzi pezu kweJerusalem napezu kwamatafa e-Judea. Akubon’ ukuba amehlo onke ondele kwicala elo leso sixeko sishwatyulelweyo, babona imibane ye-ngqumbo ka-Tixo yalatiswe kuso.KMW 153.5

Ngesiqupe isitokotoko sesuswa emnqamlezweni, kwaza ngokucacileyo, intlokoma engati zezexilongo ezanga zihlokoma ngokugqobozele kuyo yonk’ indalo, u-Yesu wadanduluka:KMW 153.6

Indimbane leyo yayi ngase mnqamlezweni yema imatshekile, baza benovalo bondela ku-Msindisi. Bapinda ubumnyama balifulela ihlabati, nozongomo lokundila okungati lududumo olukulu lwavakala. Kunye nalo olulwandile kwabako inyikima-mhlaba enamandla.KMW 153.9

Esona sikulu isipitipiti no-nkwantyo salandela. Kwintaba zalowo mmandla amawa acandeka, aza adilika awahlazekela kumatafa angapantsi apo. Amanchwaba avuleka nento eninzi yabafi yakutshelwa ngapandle. Indalo yabonakala iqekeka iba ngamasuntswana. Ababingeleli, abapati ama-soldati nabantu, bete-cwaka ngokoyika, babete bhadada emhlabeni.KMW 154.1

Ekufeni kuka-Kristu inxenye yababingeleli yayi lungiselela etempileni paya e-Jerusalem. Beva isandi senyikuma-mhlaba, suka kwa oko ikuselo le-tempile, elahlule ingcwele kweyona ngcwele-enkulu larazuka kubini litabatele pezulu lada lesa pantsi kwangeso sandla esingena gazi esabhala lawo mazwi esigwebo kwezo ndonga ze bhotwe lika-Belshazare. Leyo ngcwele-enkulu yase mhlabeni ayibanga saba ngcwele. Bunga sokuze ubuko bo-Tixo bube busasibekela eso sihlalo sokucamagushela.
