| 1. | Lemva kwensuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha uPetro loJakobe loJohane umfowabo, wasekhwela labo entabeni ende bebodwa. |
| 2. | Waseguqulwa isimo phambi kwabo, njalo ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, lezembatho zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya. |
| 3. | Futhi khangela, kwasekubonakala kubo uMozisi loElija, bekhuluma laye. |
| 4. | UPetro wasephendula wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, kuhle ukuthi sibe lapha. Uba uthanda, asakhe lapha amadumba amathathu, elinye ngelakho, lelinye ngelikaMozisi, lelinye ngelikaElija. |
| 5. | Kwathi esakhuluma, khangela, iyezi elikhanyayo labasibekela; futhi khangela, ilizwi laphuma eyezini, lisithi: Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo, engithokoza ngayo; zwanini yona. |
| 6. | Sebezwile abafundi, bawa phansi ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu. |
| 7. | Kodwa uJesu weza wabathinta wathi: Sukumani lingesabi. |
| 8. | Sebephakamisile amehlo abo, kababonanga muntu, ngaphandle kukaJesu yedwa. |
| 9. | Sebesehla entabeni, uJesu wabalaya, wathi: Lingatsheli muntu lowombono, ize ivuke kwabafileyo iNdodana yomuntu. |

| 15. | Nkosi, akuhawukele indodana yami, ngoba ilesithuthwane iyahlupheka kakhulu; ngoba iwele kanengi emlilweni, futhi kanengi emanzini. |
| 16. | Njalo ngiyilethe kubafundi bakho, kodwa bebengelakho ukuyisilisa. |
| 17. | UJesu wasephendula wathi: O sizukulwana esingelakholo lesonakeleyo, koze kube nini ngizakuba lani? Koze kube nini ngizalibekezelela? Mletheni kimi lapha. |
| 18. | UJesu waselikhuza, idimoni laseliphuma kuyo, umntwana wasesila kusukela kulelohola. |
| 19. | Abafundi basebesiza kuJesu bebodwa bathi: Kungani thina sehlulekile ukulikhupha? |

| 21. | Kodwa loluhlobo kaluphumi ngaphandle kwangomkhuleko langokuzila ukudla. |
| 22. | Besahlezi eGalili, uJesu wathi kubo: INdodana yomuntu izanikelwa ezandleni zabantu, |
| 23. | njalo bazayibulala, kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu izavuswa. Basebedabuka kakhulu. |
| 24. | Kwathi sebefikile eKapenawume, abemukela umthelo beza kuPetro bathi: Umfundisi wenu katheli yini? |
| 25. | Wathi: Yebo. Esengenile endlini, uJesu wamandulela wathi: Ucabangani, Simoni? Amakhosi omhlaba emukela kubani imfanelo kumbe imithelo? Kumadodana abo yini, kumbe kwabezizwe? |
| 26. | UPetro wathi kuye: Kwabezizwe. UJesu wathi kuye: Ngakho-ke amadodana akhululekile. |
| 27. | Kodwa-ke ukuze singabakhubekisi, hamba uye elwandle uphose ingwegwe, uthathe inhlanzi ezaphuma kuqala; kuzakuthi usuvule umlomo wayo uzathola imali; uyithathe ubanike ibe ngeyami leyakho. |
