18. Ke kaloku kwathi, ekubeni ethandaza eyedwa, bantontelana kuye abafundi, wabuza kubo, esithi, Izihlwele ezi zithi ndingubani na?
19. Baphendula ke bona, bathi, Zithi unguYohane umbhaptizi; abanye ke bathi unguEliya; abanye ke bathi, kubuye kwavuka mprofeti uthile kumanyange.
20. Uthe ke kubo, Ke nina nithi ndingubani na? Waphendula ke uPetros wathi, Unguye uKristu* kaThixo.
21. Wabakhalimela ke, ebathethela ngelithi, le nto mabangayithethi nakubani; esithi,
