Namabutho ambuza athi : Thina-ke, sizakwenzani na ? Wathi kuwo: Ningamuki muntu lutho ngendluzula , ningamxabheleli; yaneliswani yizinkokhelo zenu.

Kepha uHerode namabutho akhe bameyisa, bambhinqa, baze bamembathisa ingubo ecwebezelayo, bambuyisela kuPilatu.

Namabutho ambhinqa, eza kuye, amnika uviniga,

yona yayisithatha masinyane amabutho nezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo; sebebona induna yenkulungwane namabutho bayeka ukumshaya uPawulu.

Le ndoda ibibanjwe ngabaJuda; ibisizakubulawa yibo, ngafika namabutho, ngayophula sengizwile ukuba ingumRoma.
