ULuka 22:7, 8 unikeza isikhathi, ethi: “Lwase lufika usuku lwesinkwa esingenamvubelo okumelwe ukuba kuhlatshwe ngalo iphasika. Wathuma uPetru noJohane, wathi: Hambani niye ukusilungisela iphasika ukuba sidle.” Ukulandisa kuyaqhubeka: “Nithi kumninindlu, Uthi uMfundisi kuwe: Liphi ikamelo lokungenisa, lapho ngingadlela khona iphasika nabafundi bami, na?” Ngakho ngalobobusuku uJesu wayenabangu-12 ngenjongo yomkhosi wamaJuda. Wabatshela: “Nginxanele nokunxanela ukudla nani leliphasika ngingakahlupheki.”—Luka 22:11, 15.

Kodwa uJesu ‘wayenxanele nokunxanela’ ukuhlanganyela lokho okwakuzoba iPhasika lokugcina, elisebenzayo nobusuku bokugcina ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe, nabafundi bakhe abaseduze, ababehambe naye phakathi nengxenye enkulu yenkonzo yakhe. Ekupheleni kwalesosidlo sePhasika, uJesu wabatshela ngomkhosi omusha okwakumelwe ugujwe yibo bonke abalandeli bakhe ngesikhathi esizayo. Iwayini lalowomkhosi wobuKristu owawusengowesikhathi esizayo laliyomelela igazi ‘lesivumelwano esisha’ esasizothatha isikhundla sesivumelwano soMthetho.—Luka 22:20.
