1. Ke kaloku kuthe, ekubeni zimxinile izihlwele, ziza kuva ilizwi likaThixo, wesuka wema ngasedikeni laseGenesarete.
2. Wabona imikhombe emibini imi ngasedikeni apho; babe ke ababambisi beentlanzi bephumile kuyo, behlamba iminatha yabo.
3. Wathi ke, engene komnye umkhombe, owawungokaSimon, wamcela ukuba akhe akhwelelise kancinane emhlabeni; waza, ehleli phantsi, wamana ezifundisa izihlwele esemkhombeni apho.
4. Akupheza ke ukuthetha, wathi kuSimon, Khwelelisela enzulwini, nihlise iminatha yenu, kubanjiswe.
5. Waphendula uSimon wathi kuye, Mongameli, sibulaleke ubusuku buphela, asabamba nento; kodwa ngelakho ilizwi ndiya kuwuhlisa umnatha.
6. Bathi, bakukwenza oko, bavingcela inkitha enkulu yeentlanzi; wawuqhaqheka ke umnatha wabo.
7. Bakhoba amahlulelana abo, abekomnye umkhombe, ukuba eze kuncedisana nabo. Beza, bayizalisa imikhombe yomibini, yada yafuna ukutshona.
8. Uthe ke akukubona oko uSimon Petros, wawa emadolweni kaYesu, esithi, Mka kum, ngokuba ndiyindoda engumoni, Nkosi.
