| 22. | Athe ke wona, UKorneli umthetheli-khulu, indoda elilungisa, emoyikayo uThixo, kanjalo engqinelwe ukulunga lulo lonke uhlanga lwamaYuda, uhlatyelwe sisithunywa esingcwele ukuba akubize, uze endlwini yakhe, eve amazwi kuwe. |
| 23. | Wawabizela phakathi ngoko, aba lundwendwe lwakhe. Ke kaloku ngengomso, uPetros wemka nawo, nabazalwana abathile baseYopa bahamba naye. |
| 24. | Baza ngengomsomnye bangena eKesareya. Waye ke uKorneli ebalindile; wayebizele ndawonye imizalwane yakhe, nezihlobo zakhe ezibuhlungu. |
| 25. | Kwathi ke, xa angenayo uPetros, uKorneli wamhlangabeza, wawa ezinyaweni zakhe, waqubuda kuye. |
| 26. | Uthe ke uPetros wamvusa, esithi, Phakama; nam ngokwam ndingumntu. |
| 27. | Wangena encokola naye, wabafumana bebuthelene bebaninzi. |
| 28. | Kananjalo wathi kubo, Niyazi kakuhle nina, ukuba akusesikweni ukuthi indoda engumYuda inamathele isondele kowolunye uhlanga; mna ke uThixo undibonisile, ukuba ndingabizi mntu ngokuthi uyinqambi, ungongcolileyo. |
| 29. | Kungoko ke ndizileyo ndingaphikanga ndakubizwa. Ndizile ke; ndiyabuza ngoko, ukuba nindibize ngandawoni na? |
| 30. | UKorneli wathi, Kuse kuntsuku ne ndizila ukudla, kwada kwaleli lixa lemini. Ngelixa lesithoba ke bendithandaza endlwini yam, kwesuka kwathi gqi indoda, yema phambi kwam, inengubo eqaqambileyo; |
| 31. | yathi, Korneli, umthandazo wakho uviwe, namalizo akho akhunjulwe phambi koThixo; |
| 32. | thumela ngoko eYopa, ubize eze uSimon, ogama limbi linguPetros; lowo ulundwendwe endlwini kaSimon, umsuki wezikhumba, ngaselwandle; oya kuthi akufika athethe nawe. |
| 33. | Ndathumela ngoko kuwe kwaoko; nawe utyaphile ufike. Kaloku ngoko sikho thina sonke emehlweni kaThixo, ukuze sizive zonke izinto ozimiselweyo nguThixo. |
| 34. | Ke kaloku uPetros wawuvula umlomo wakhe wathi, Ndiyaqiqa okwenyaniso ukuba uThixo akamkhethi wabuso bamntu; |
| 35. | kwiintlanga zonke, lowo umoyikayo, asebenze ubulungisa, wamkelekile kuye. |

| 37. | nina niyalazi ilizwi elenzekayo kulo lonke elakwaYuda, liqalela kwelaseGalili, emva kobhaptizo awaluvakalisayo uYohane: |
| 38. | okokuba uThixo wamthambisa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele nangamandla uYesu waseNazarete, owagqiba ilizwe esiza, ephilisa bonke abaxinzelelweyo nguye uMtyholi; ngokuba uThixo ubenaye. |

| 41. | kungekubo abantu bonke, kukumangqina abenyuliwe ngenxa engaphambili nguThixo: kuthi thina, sadlayo saselayo naye emveni kokuvuka kwakhe kwabafileyo. |
| 42. | Wasithethela ngelithi, masivakalise ebantwini, siqononondise ukuba yena nguye omisiweyo nguThixo, ukuba abe ngumgwebi wabaphilileyo nabafileyo. |
| 43. | Bonke abaprofeti bayamngqinela yena lo, ukuba, ngegama lakhe, bamkeliswa uxolelo lwezono bonke abakholwayo kuye. |
| 44. | Uthe akubon ukuba usawathetha uPetros la mazwi, wasuka wabawela uMoya oyiNgcwele bonke ababeliva ilizwi. |
| 45. | Amangaliswa amakholwa olwaluko onke abeze noPetros; ngokuba isipho soMoya oyiNgcwele sathululwa naphezu kweentlanga; |
| 46. | kuba aziva zithetha ngalwimi zimbi, zimenza mkhulu uThixo. Wandula waphendula uPetros wathi, |
| 47. | Kukho unako yini na ukuthintela amanzi, ukuba bangabhaptizwa aba bamamkeleyo uMoya oyiNgcwele, kwanjengathi nje? |
| 48. | Wamisa ukuthi mababhaptizwe egameni leNkosi. Baza bamcela ukuba akhe ahlale iintsuku ezithile. |
