USimoni Phethro, ekuzwa ukuthi yiNkosi, wagqoka, ngokuba wayehamba ze, waziphonsa olwandle. Kepha abanye abafundi beza ngesikebhe bedonsa inetha elinezinhlanzi, ngokuba babengekude nogu, kungaba yibanga elingamakhubhithi angama-200. Kuthe sebephumele emhlabathini, babona umlilo wamalahle, nezinhlanzi zibekwe kuwo, nesinkwa.
UJesu wathi kubo: “Lethani izinhlanzi kwenizibambe manje.”
USimoni Phethro wasuka, walihudulela emhlabathini inetha. Laligcwele izinhlanzi ezinkulu eziyi-153. Nakuba izinhlanzi zaziziningi kangako, nokho inetha alidabukanga. UJesu wathi kubo: “Wozani nizokudla.”
Kepha akekho kubafundi owaba nesibindi sokumbuza, athi: “Ungubani Wena na?”

UJesu wathi kuye: “Yipha amawundlu ami.”
Wabuye wathi kuye okwesibili: “Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na?”
UPhethro wathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi, uyazi Wena ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.”
UJesu wathi kuye: “Yalusa izimvu zami.”
UJesu wathi kuye okwesithathu: “Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na?”
UPhethro wadabuka, ngokuba wathi kuye ngokwesithathu: “Uyangithanda na?”
Wathi kuJesu: “Nkosi, Wena wazi konke, uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.”
UJesu wathi kuye: “Yondla izimvu zami.
