| 1. | Baza bafika abaFarisi nabaSadusi, bathi, bemlinga, bacela ukuba ababonise umqondiso ophuma emazulwini. |

| 3. | Kanjalo kusasa nithi, Namhla luqhwithela; kuba izulu limlilo ukuba bomvu, lisibekele. Bahanahanisindini, nikwazi nje ukubucalula ubuso bezulu, ke yona imiqondiso yamaxesha aninako na ukuyicalula? |
| 4. | Isizukulwana esingendawo, esikrexezayo, singxamele umqondiso; kanti asiyi kunikwa mqondiso, ingenguwo umqondiso kaYona umprofeti. Wabashiya wemka. |

| 7. | Baye ke bona becamanga phakathi kwabo, besithi, Utsho ngokuba singaphathanga zonka. |
| 8. | Ekwazi ke oko uYesu, wathi kubo, Ehlani, nina balukholo luncinane! Yini na ukuba nicamange phakathi kwenu, ngokuba ningaphathanga zonka? |
| 9. | Anikaqiqi na, anizikhumbuli na izonka ezihlanu zamawaka amahlanu, nokuba zazingaphi na izitya enazithabathayo? |

| 13. | Akufika uYesu emacaleni aseKesareya yakwaFilipu, wababuza abafundi bakhe, esithi, Bathi abantu ndingubani na mna, Nyana woMntu? |
| 14. | Bathi ke bona, Inxenye ithi, unguYohane umbhaptizi; abanye bathi, UnguEliya; bambi bathi, UnguYeremiya, mhlawumbi ungomnye wakubaprofeti. |
| 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, Unoyolo, 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. |

| 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? |
| 27. | Kuba uNyana woMntu uza kuza esebuqaqawulini boYise, enezithunywa zakhe, andule ukubavuza bonke ngabanye ngokokwenza kwabo. |
| 28. | Inene, ndithi kuni, Kwabemiyo apha kukho abangayi kukha beve kufa, bade bambone uNyana woMntu esiza, esebukumkanini bakhe. |
