20 Wabayala abafundi bakhe, ukuba bangaxeleli bani ukuba yena unguYesu uKristu.
21 Waqalela kwelo xa uYesu ukubabonisa abafundi bakhe, okokuba umelwe kukuba aye eYerusalem, eve ubunzima obukhulu kuwo amadoda amakhulu nababingeleli abakhulu, nababhali, abulawe, athi ngomhla wesithathu avuke.
22 Wathi uPetros emthabathele kuye, waqala ukumkhalimela, esithi, Makube camagu kuwe, Nkosi; oko akuyi kukha kubekho kuwe.
23 Wajika ke wathi kuPetros, Suka uye emva kwam, Sathana,* usisikhubekiso kum; ngokuba ungazinyamekeli ezikaThixo izinto, unyamekela ezabantu.
24 Wandula wathi uYesu kubafundi bakhe, Ukuba kukho othanda ukundilandela, makazincame ngokwakhe, awuthwale umnqamlezo wakhe, andilandele.
25 Kuba othe wathanda ukuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo; ke othe wawulahla umphefumlo wakhe ngenxa yam, wowufumana.
26 Kuba, kumnceda ntoni na umntu, ukuba uthe wazuza ihlabathi liphela, waza wonakalelwa ke ngumphefumlo wakhe? Okanye worhola ntoni na umntu, ibe sisananelo somphefumlo wakhe?
