Omunye wabalindi omi khonapho utshaya uJesu ngempama ebusweni abesemsola esithi: “Ungaphendula njalo umphristi okhokhelayo?” Kodwa uJesu uyakwazi ukuthi kaphambanisanga lutho yikho umphendula athi: “Nxa engikukhulumileyo kungaqondanga, fakaza ukuthi ngiphambaniseni, kodwa nxa kuqondile, ungitshayelani?” (UJohane 18:22, 23) Ngemva kwalokho u-Anasi uthi uJesu ahanjiswe kumkhwenyana wakhe uKhayifasi.

Khathesi iSanihedrini yonke isithelekile emzini kaKhayifasi. Kulomphristi omkhulu, labadala besizwe kanye lababhali. Kulicala ukuthi umuntu athonisiswe ngobusuku bePhasika. Lanxa kunjalo, abantu laba bazimisele ukuqhubeka ngento embi abayihlosileyo.

Abanengi abaseqenjini leli sebehle bamahlulela uJesu. Phela wathi esevuse uLazaro iSanihedrini yavumelana ukuthi kumele afe. (UJohane 11:47-53) Kanti njalo emalangeni asanda ukwedlula, abakhokheli benkolo babumbe icebo lokumbamba bambulale. (UMathewu 26:3, 4) UJesu kakathonisiswa kodwa sekuhle kwathiwa kumele afe.

Abaphostoli bakaJesu bayambalekela esebotshiwe esivandeni saseGetsemane. Kodwa uPhetro “lomunye umfundi” okungenzeka ngumphostoli uJohane bayabuyela kuJesu. (UJohane 18:15; 19:35; 21:24) Mhlawumbe bazamthola endleleni ehanjiswa endlini ka-Anasi. U-Anasi uthi esedlulisele uJesu kuMphristi Omkhulu uKhayifasi, uPhetro loJohane balandele behambela khatshana. Kumele ukuthi bayesaba ukuthi bangabulawa njalo bakhathazekile ngokuthi kuyini okuzakwenzakala eNkosini yabo.
