IZenzo 2:37-47

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. Bazinikela njalo esifundisweni sabaphostoli, ekuhlanganeni, ekuhlephuleni isinkwa, nasemikhulekweni. Kwaba yilowo nalowo muntu wehlelwa wukwesaba; abaphostoli benza izimangaliso nezibonakaliso eziningi. Bonke abakholwayo babendawonye, behlanganyela ezintweni zonke. Bathengisa ngomhlaba nangempahla, bababela bonke ngangokwezidingo zabo. Imihla ngemihla bazinikela nganhliziyonye ethempelini, ekuhlephuleni isinkwa emakhaya, badla ukudla kwabo ngentokozo nangenhliziyo emsulwa, bemdumisa uNkulunkulu, bethandeka kubantu bonke. INkosi yenezela ebandleni imihla ngemihla labo abasindiswayo.
