Mmamawa, akulu a ansembe pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi olamulira onse anamanga fundo. Anamumanga Yesu, namutenga ndi kukamupereka kwa Pilato. 
Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Iwe ndi Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwatero ndinu.” 
Akulu a ansembe anamunenera zinthu zambiri. 
Ndipo Pilato anamufunsanso Iye kuti, “Kodi Iwe suyankhapo kanthu? Tamva zinthu zambiri akukunenerazi.” 
Koma Yesu sanayankhebe, ndipo Pilato anadabwa. 
Pa nthawi ya Phwando, panali chizolowezi chomasula munthu wamʼndende amene anthu amupempha. 
Munthu wotchedwa Baraba anali mʼndende pamodzi ndi anthu owukira amene anapha anthu pa nthawi ya chipolowe. 
Gulu la anthu linabwera kwa Pilato ndi kumufunsa kuti awachitire zimene amachita nthawi zonse. 
“Kodi mukufuna kuti ndikumasulireni mfumu ya Ayuda?” Pilato anafunsa, 
podziwa kuti akulu a ansembe anamupereka Yesu kwa iye chifukwa cha nsanje. 
Koma akulu a ansembe anasonkhezera anthu kuti Pilato amasule Baraba mʼmalo mwa Yesu. 
Pilato anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi nanga ndichite chiyani ndi uyu amene mukumutcha mfumu ya Ayuda?” 
Anafuwula kuti, “Mpachikeni!” 
Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani? Wapalamula mlandu wotani?” Koma anafuwula kwambiri, “Mpachikeni!” 
Pilato pofuna kuwakondweretsa anthuwo, anawamasulira Baraba. Analamula kuti Yesu akwapulidwe mwankhanza, ndipo anamupereka kuti akapachikidwe. 
Asilikali anamutenga Yesu ndi kupita naye mʼkati mwa nyumba yaufumu (dera lokhalako asilikali a mfumu) ndipo anasonkhanitsa gulu lonse la asilikali. 
Anamuveka Iye mwinjiro wofiira, kenaka analuka chipewa cha minga ndi kuyika pa mutu pake. 
Ndipo anayamba kunena kwa lye kuti, “Ulemu kwa inu Mfumu ya Ayuda!” 
Ndipo anamugogoda pa mutu mobwerezabwereza ndi ndodo ndi kumulavulira. Anamugwadira ndi kumulambira Iye. 
Ndipo anamuchita chipongwe, anamuvula mwinjiro wofiira uja ndi kumuveka zovala zake. Kenaka anamutenga kuti akamupachike. 
Munthu wina ochokera ku Kurene, Simoni, abambo a Alekisanda ndi Rufasi amadutsa kuchokera ku dziko la kwawo, ndipo anamuwumiriza kuti anyamule mtanda. 
Anafika naye Yesu pa malo otchedwa Gologota (kutanthauza kuti, malo a bade) 
Kenaka anamupatsa Iye vinyo wosakaniza ndi mure, koma Iye sanamwe. 
Ndipo anamupachika Iye. Anachita maere ogawana zovala zake kuti aone chimene aliyense angatenge. 
Linali ora lachitatu mmawa pamene anamupachika Yesu. 
Chikwangwani cholembedwapo mlandu wake chinali choti: mfumu ya ayuda. 
Achifwamba awiri anapachikidwanso pamodzi ndi Iye, wina kumanja kwake ndi wina kumanzere kwake. 
(Ndipo malemba anakwaniritsidwa amene amati, “Iye anayikidwa mʼgulu la anthu oyipa).” 
Amene amadutsa pafupi anamunenera mawu amwano, akupukusa mitu yawo ndi kuti, “Haa! Iwe amene udzawononga Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyimanganso masiku atatu, 
tsika kuchoka pa mtandapo ndipo udzipulumutse wekha!” 
Chimodzimodzinso akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anamunyoza Iye pakati pawo. Iwo anati, “Anapulumutsa ena, koma sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha! 
Musiyeni Khristu, Mfumu ya Aisraeli, atsike tsopano kuchoka pa mtanda, kuti ife tione ndi kukhulupirira.” Iwonso amene anapachikidwa naye pamodzi anamulalatira. 
Pa ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana mdima unabwera pa dziko lonse mpaka pa ora lachisanu ndi chinayi masana. 
Pa ora lachisanu ndi chinayi Yesu analira mofuwula kuti, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?” 
Ena amene anali pafupi atamva izi anati, “Tamverani, akuyitana Eliya.” 
Munthu wina anathamanga, natenga chinkhupule atachiviyika mu vinyo wosasa, anachizika ku mtengo, ndi kumupatsa Yesu kuti amwe. Munthuyo anati, “Musiyeni yekha tsopano. Tiyeni tione ngati Eliya angabwere kudzamutsitsa.” 
Ndi mawu ofuwula, Yesu anapuma komaliza. 
Chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. 
Ndipo Kenturiyo, amene anayima patsogolo pa Yesu, atamva kulira kwake ndi kuona mmene anafera anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu.” 
Amayi ena anali patali kuonerera. Pakati pawo panali Mariya Magadalena, Mariya amayi a Yakobo wamngʼono ndi Yose ndi Salome. 
Amayi awa ankamutsatira Iye mu Galileya ndi kumutumikira Iye pa zosowa zake. Amayi enanso ambiri amene anabwera naye ku Yerusalemu analinso pomwepo.
