1. Ke kaloku, phambi komthendeleko wepasika, esazi uYesu ukuba lifikile ilixa lokuba anduluke kweli hlabathi, aye kuYise, ebathandile abakhe abasehlabathini, wabathanda kwada kwasekupheleni.
2. Kwakubakho isidlo sangokuhlwa (akubon' ukuba uMtyholi selekufakile entliziyweni kaYuda Sikariyoti, okaSimon, ukuba amngcatshe),
3. esazi uYesu ukuba uYise uzinikele zonke izinto ezandleni zakhe, nokuba waphuma kuThixo, esiya kuThixo:
4. usuka esidlweni, azibeke phantsi iingubo zakhe, athabathe itawuli* abhinqe;
5. aze agalele amanzi esityeni sokuhlambela, aqale ukuzihlamba iinyawo zabafundi, nokuzisula ngetawuli abeyibhinqile.
6. Uza ke kuSimon Petros; athi yena kuye, Nkosi, zihlánjwe nguwe na iinyawo zam?
7. Waphendula uYesu, wathi kuye, Endikwenzayo mna akukwazi wena okwangoku; kodwa wokuqonda kamva.
8. Athi uPetros kuye, Akusayi kuzihlamba iinyawo zam, naphakade. Umphendule uYesu, wathi, Ukuba andithanga ndikuhlambe, akunasabelo nam.
9. Athi uSimon Petros kuye, Nkosi, mazingabi ziinyawo zam zodwa, mazibe zizandla nentloko.
10. Uthi uYesu kuye, Kulowo uhlanjiweyo akusafuneki nto, selikukuhlanjwa kweenyawo zodwa; úhlambulukile kwaphela; nani ke nihlambulukile, kodwa aninjalo nonke.
11. Kuba ebemazi lowo umnikelayo; ngenxa yoko wathi, Anihlambulukile nonke.
12. Ngoko, xeshikweni ebezihlambile iinyawo zabo, wazithabatha iingubo zakhe, wabuya wahlala phantsi, wathi kubo, Niyayazi na into endiyenzileyo kuni?
13. Nina ukundibiza nithi ndinguMfundisi, nithi ndiyiNkosi; niyalungisa ukutsho, kuba kunjalo.
14. Ngoko ke, ukuba ndizihlambile iinyawo zenu mna, ndíyiNkosi, ndínguMfundisi, nani nifanele ukuhlambana iinyawo.
15. Kuba ndininike umzekelo, ukuze nani nenze, njengoko ndenzé ngako mna kuni.
16. Inene, inene, ndithi kuni, Akukho mkhonzi umkhulu kunenkosi yakhe, namthunywa umkhulu kunalowo umthumileyo.
