Mambo wako anouya kwauri. Akarurama, chokwadi akaponeswa; anozvininipisa, akatasva mbongoro hono yanyatsokura, yakaberekwa nembongoro hadzi.” (Zek. 9:9) Munyori wepisarema akati: “Ngaakomborerwe Iye anouya nomuzita raJehovha.” (Pis. 118:26) Jesu haangambova iye akaronga kuti vanhu ivavo vadaro.

Munyori wepisarema Dhavhidhi akati: “Zvapupu zvinoita zvechisimba zvinosimuka; zvinondibvunza zvandisingazivi.” (Pis. 35:11) Sezvakanga zvaprofitwa, “vapristi vakuru neSanihedrini yose vakanga vachitsvaka uchapupu hwenhema hwokupomera Jesu kuti vamuuraye.” (Mat. 26:59) “Chokwadi, vazhinji vakanga vachimupomera zvenhema, asi uchapupu hwavo hwakanga husingabvumirani.” (Mako 14:56) Zvokuti uchapupu hwacho hwaiva hwenhema zvakanga zvisina basa kumhondi idzodzo dzaivenga Jesu.

Akaunzwa kuzourayiwa sezvinoitwa gwai; uye iyewo aisashama muromo wake senhunzvi yegwai yakanyarara pamberi pevaveuri vayo.” (Isa. 53:7) Jesu paaipomerwa “nevapristi vakuru nevarume vakuru, haana kupindura.” Pirato akamubvunza kuti: “Haunzwi here kuti zvinhu zvizhinji sei zvavari kukupomera?” Kunyange zvakadaro, Jesu “haana kumupindura, aiwa, kana shoko rimwe chete zvaro, zvokuti gavhuna wacho akashamisika kwazvo.” (Mat. 27:12-14) Jesu haana kutuka vaimupomera.—VaR. 12:17-21; 1 Pet. 2:23.
11. Zvii zvakaitika zvakazadzisa Isaya 50:6 uye Mika 5:1?

Handina kuvanzira chiso changu zvinhu zvinonyadzisa uye kupfirwa mate.” (Isa. 50:6) Mika akati: “Vacharova mutongi waIsraeri padama netsvimbo.” (Mika 5:1) Achiratidza kuzadziswa kweuprofita uhwu, munyori weEvhangeri Mako akati: “Vamwe vakatanga kumupfira mate uye kufukidza chiso chake chose uye kumurova nezvibhakera, vachiti kwaari: ‘Profita!’ Uye, vachimurova nembama kuchiso, vashandi vepadare vakamutora.” Mako anoti varwi “vaimurova mumusoro netsanga nokumupfira mate uye, vachipfugama [zvokumutsvinyira], vaimukotamira.” (Mako 14:65; 15:19) Zviri pachena kuti Jesu akanga asina kumbovadenha.

Isaya akanyora kuti: “Akadurura mweya wake kusvikira parufu chaipo, akaverengwa pamwe chete nevadariki.” (Isa. 53:12) Ndozvakaitikawo, “makororo maviri akarovererwa pamwe chete [naJesu], rimwe kurudyi rwake uye rimwe kuruboshwe rwake.”—Mat. 27:38.
13. Mashoko ari pana Pisarema 22:7, 8 akazadziswa sei pana Jesu?

Kana uri mwanakomana waMwari, buruka padanda rokutambudzikira!’” Saizvozvowo vapristi vakuru nevanyori nevarume vakuru vakatanga kumuseka vachiti: “Akaponesa vamwe; iye haagoni kuzviponesa! Ndiye Mambo waIsraeri; zvino ngaaburuke padanda rokutambudzikira uye tichamutenda. Aivimba naMwari; Iye ngaachimununura zvino kana achimuda, nokuti iye akati, ‘Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari.’” (Mat. 27:39-43) Asi Jesu akaramba akadzikama achinzarwo. Akatisiyira muenzaniso wakazonaka!
14, 15. Ratidza kuti uprofita hwakazadziswa sei nezvezvipfeko zvaMesiya uye kupiwa kwake vhiniga.
14 Zvipfeko zvaMesiya zvaizokandirwa mijenya. Munyori wepisarema akanyora kuti: “Vanogovana nguo dzangu, vanokanda mijenya pazvipfeko zvangu.” (Pis. 22:18) Izvozvo ndizvo zvakaitika, nokuti “pavakanga vamuroverera [mauto eRoma] vakagova nguo dzake [Jesu] dzokunze vachiita zvokukanda mijenya.”—Mat. 27:35; verenga Johani 19:23, 24.

Mwari akasiya Jesu ari mumaoko evavengi vake asingamudziviriri kuitira kuti kuperera kwaKristu kunyatsoedzwa. Uye kudaidzira kwaakaita kwakazadzisa Pisarema 22:1.
17. Mashoko ari pana Zekariya 12:10 naPisarema 34:20 akazadziswa sei?
17 Mesiya aizobayiwa, asi mapfupa ake aisazotyorwa. Vagari vomuJerusarema vaizotarira “Iye wavakabvoora.” (Zek. 12:10) Uye Pisarema 34:20 inoti: “[Mwari] anorinda mapfupa ose aiyeye; hapana rimwe chete rawo rakatyoka.” Achiratidza kuti mashoko aya akaitika, Johani akanyora kuti: “Mumwe wevarwi akadhuvhura rutivi rwake [rwaJesu] nepfumo, uye ropa nemvura zvikabva zvabuda. Uya akazviona [Johani] akapupurira, uye uchapupu hwake ndohwechokwadi . . . Zvinhu izvi zvakaitika kuti rugwaro ruzadzike runoti: ‘Hapana kana pfupa rake richapwanywa.’ Uyezve, rumwe rugwaro runoti: ‘Vachatarira Iye wavakabvoora.’”—Joh. 19:33-37.
18. Zvakafamba sei kuti Jesu azovigwa pamwe chete nevapfumi?

Mateu anoti: “Josefa akatora mutumbi wacho, akauputira nomucheka werineni yakachena, yakanaka kwazvo, akauradzika muguva rake idzva, raakanga achera padombo guru. Pashure pokukungurutsira dombo guru pasuo reguva, iye akaenda.”—Mat. 27:57-60.

Vakasvikowana ngirozi, ikavaudza kuti: “Regai kudumbirwa. Muri kutsvaka Jesu wokuNazareta, akarovererwa. Akamutswa, haapo pano. Onai! Pavakamuviga apa.” (Mako 16:6) Muapostora Petro akaudza vanhu vazhinji vaiva muJerusarema musi wePendekosti ya33 C.E. kuti: “[Dhavhidhi] akafanoona, akataura pamusoro porumuko rwaKristu, kuti haana kusiyiwa muHadhesi uyewo nyama yake haina kuora.” (Mab. 2:29-31) Mwari haana kubvumira kuti muviri weMwanakomana wake waanoda uore. Uyezve Jehovha akaita chishamiso chokumutsa Jesu kuti ave munhu womudzimu.—1 Pet. 3:18.
20. Kutonga kwaMesiya kwakagara kwataurwa kuri kuzadziswa sei?
20 Sezvakagara zvataurwa, Mwari akazivisa kuti Jesu aiva Mwanakomana wake. (Verenga Pisarema 2:7; Mateu 3:17.) Mhomho yevanhu yakarumbidzawo Jesu noUmambo huri kuuya, uye isuwo tiri kutaura nomufaro nezvake nezvikomborero zvokutonga kwake. (Mako 11:7-10) Kristu ava pedyo kuparadza vavengi vake ‘sezvaanotasva bhiza rake nokuda kwechokwadi nokuzvininipisa nokururama.’ (Pis. 2:8, 9; 45:1-6) Umambo hwake huchaunza runyararo pasi pose uye vanhu vachabudirira. (Pis. 72:1, 3, 12, 16; Isa. 9:6, 7) Chokwadi takakomborerwa pakuti tiri kuzivisa chokwadi ichi seZvapupu zvaJehovha, uyo ane Mwanakomana wake waanoda ava kutotonga kudenga saMambo Mesiya!
