NgokukaJohane 21:1-14

Emva kwalokho uJesu wabuye wazibonakalisa kubafundi ngaselwandle lwaseTiberiya; wazibonakalisa kanje: kwakukhona ndawonye oSimoni Petru, noTomase othiwa uDidimu, noNathanayeli waseKhana laseGalile, nabakaZebedewu, nabanye ababili kubafundi bakhe. USimoni Petru wathi kubo: “Ngiya kodoba.” Bathi kuye: “Nathi sihamba nawe.” Base bephuma, bangena emkhunjini; kepha ngalobo busuku ababambanga lutho. Kuthe sekusa, uJesu wayemi ogwini. Kepha abafundi babengazi ukuthi nguJesu. UJesu wathi-ke kubo: “Bantwana, aninakho ukudla na?” Bamphendula bathi: “Qha.” Wayesethi kubo: “Phonsani inetha ngakwesokunene somkhumbi, nizakuthola.” Base bephonsa, ababe besaba namandla ukulidonsa ngenxa yobuningi bezinhlanzi. Khona lowo mfundi uJesu amthandayo wathi kuPetru: “YiNkosi.” USimoni Petru, ekuzwa ukuthi yiNkosi, wagqoka, ngokuba wayehamba ze, waziphonsa elwandle. Kepha abanye abafundi beza ngesikebhe, ngokuba bebengekude nenhlabathi kepha kungathi izingalo ezingamakhulu amabili, bedonsa inetha linezinhlanzi. Kuthe sebephumele emhlabathini, babona umlilo wamalahle, nezinhlanzi zibekwe kuwo, nesinkwa. UJesu wathi kubo: “Lethani izinhlanzi kwenizibambe manje.” Wasuka uSimoni Petru, walihudulela emhlabathini inetha. Ligcwele izinhlanzi ezinkulu, ziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu nantathu; noma zingako, inetha alidabukanga. UJesu wathi kubo: “Wozani nidle.” Kepha akwabakho kubafundi owaba nesibindi sokumbuza ngokuthi: “Ungubani wena na?” Bazi ukuthi yiyo iNkosi. UJesu weza, wathabatha isinkwa, wabapha, nezinhlanzi futhi. Lokho sekungokwesithathu uJesu ebonakaliswa kubafundi, esevukile kwabafileyo.
