IZenzo 2:31-41

Ekubonile phambilini, wakhuluma ngokuvuka kukaKhristu ukuthi akashiywanga eHayidesi, nomzimba wakhe awukubonanga ukubola. Lo Jesu, uNkulunkulu wamvusa; thina sonke singofakazi balokho. Ngakho-ke waphakanyiselwa ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, esemukele kuYise isithembiso sikaMoya oNgcwele, ukuthululile lokhu enikubonayo nenikuzwayo.” Ngokuba uDavide akenyukelanga ezulwini, kodwa yena uthi: “INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: ‘Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngibeke izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo sezinyawo zakho.’ ” “Ngakho-ke yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli mayazi ngokweqiniso ukuthi nguNkulunkulu omenzile iNkosi noKhristu lo Jesu enambethela nina esiphambanweni.” Sebekuzwile lokho, bahlabeka enhliziyweni, bathi kuPhethro nakwabanye abaphostoli: “Madoda, bazalwane, sizokwenzenjani na?” UPhethro wayesethi: “Phendukani, kube yilowo nalowo ababhabhadiswe egameni likaJesu Khristu, kube ngukuthethelelwa kwezono zenu, khona niyakwemukeliswa isiphiwo sikaMoya oNgcwele. Ngokuba isithembiso singesenu nesabantwana benu, futhi singesabo bonke abakude, bonke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eyakubabiza.” Wafakaza nangamanye amazwi amaningi, ebancenga ethi: “Zisindiseni kulesi sizukulwane esonakeleyo.” Ngakho-ke abalamukelayo izwi lakhe babhabhadiswa, kwanezelelwa ngalolo suku abantu okungathi bayizi-3 000.
