15 Athi kubo, Ke nina nithi ndingubani na?
16 Waphendula ke uSimon Petros wathi, Wena unguye uKristu,* unyana kaThixo ophilileyo.
17 Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ùnoyolo, Simon kaYona, ngokuba akukutyhilelwanga oku yinyama negazi, ukutyhilelwe nguBawo osemazulwini.
18 Nam ke, ndithi kuwe, UnguPetros wena; ndiya kulakhela phezu kolu lwalwa ibandla lam, namasango elabafileyo akayi kuloyisa.
19 Ndiya kukunika izitshixo zobukumkani bamazulu; kuthi ke othe wakubopha emhlabeni, kubopheke emazulwini; kuthi othe wakukhulula emhlabeni, kukhululeke emazulwini.
20 Wabayala abafundi bakhe, ukuba bangaxeleli bani ukuba yena unguYesu uKristu.
