Wandula u‐Yesu wati kubadisipile bake: Ukuba umntu uyafuna ukuza emva kwam, makazikanyeze, apate ikuruse yake, andilandele.

Kanjalo nam nditi kuwe: Wena ungu‐Petrosi, ndandiya kuyaka pezu kwolulwalwa iṙemente yam, ati amasango ehadesi angayoyisi.

Ndandiya kunika kuwe izilotile zobukumkani bezulu; yoti into usukuba uyinxiba emhlabeni inxitywe ezulwini; yoti into usukuba uyikulula emhlabeni ikululwe ezulwini.

Ngokuba lowo usukuba efuna ukulondoloza ubomi bake, buya kumlahleka; nosukuba elahlekana nobomi bake ngenxa yam, wobufumana.

Ngokuba uncedwa nto nina umntu, ukuba ilizwe lonke walizuza, nompefumlo wake walahlekelwa nguwo? kanjalo uya kunika nto nina umntu ibe lixabiso elilingana nawo umpefumlo wake?

Wati kubo: Kodwa ngubanina eniti nina ndinguye? Wapendula u‐Simone Petrosi wati: Wena unguye u‐Kristu, unyana KATIXO ohleliyo.

Waza wapendula u‐Yesu wati kuye: Unetamsanqa, Simone, Bara‐jona! ngokuba ingeyiyo inyama negazi ekutyileleyo oku, NGUBAWO osezulwini.
