NgokukaJohane 21

UJesu Uzibonakalisa Kubafundi Abayisikhombisa
1Sekwedlule lokho, uJesu wabuye wazibonakalisa kubafundi bakhe ngasolwandle iThibheriya. Wazibonakalisa kanje: 2kwakukhona lapho uSimoni Phethro, uThomase okuthiwa nguDidimu, uNathanayeli waseKhana eGalile, amadodana kaZebedewu, nabanye abafundi bakhe ababili. 3 USimoni Phethro wathi kubo: “Ngisayodoba.”
Bathi kuye: “Nathi sihamba nawe.”
Bahamba, bangena esikebheni; kodwa ngalobo busuku ababambanga lutho. 4 Kuthe sekusa, uJesu wabonakala emi ogwini, kodwa abafundi babengazi ukuthi nguYena.
5UJesu wathi kubo: “Bantwana, aninakho yini ukudla na?”
Bamphendula bathi: “Qha.”
6 Wayesethi kubo: “Phonsani inetha ngakwesokunene sesikebhe, nizakubamba.”
Base beliphonsa, kodwa behluleka ukulidonsa ngenxa yobuningi bezinhlanzi.
7 Ngakho-ke lowo mfundi uJesu amthandayo wathi kuPhethro: “YiNkosi.”
USimoni Phethro, ekuzwa ukuthi yiNkosi, wagqoka, ngokuba wayehamba ze, waziphonsa olwandle. 8Kepha abanye abafundi beza ngesikebhe bedonsa inetha elinezinhlanzi, ngokuba babengekude nogu, kungaba yibanga elingamakhubhithi angama-200. 9Kuthe sebephumele emhlabathini, babona umlilo wamalahle, nezinhlanzi zibekwe kuwo, nesinkwa.
10UJesu wathi kubo: “Lethani izinhlanzi kwenizibambe manje.”
11USimoni Phethro wasuka, walihudulela emhlabathini inetha. Laligcwele izinhlanzi ezinkulu eziyi-153. Nakuba izinhlanzi zaziziningi kangako, nokho inetha alidabukanga. 12UJesu wathi kubo: “Wozani nizokudla.”
Kepha akekho kubafundi owaba nesibindi sokumbuza, athi: “Ungubani Wena na?”
Kwabacacela ukuthi yiNkosi. 13UJesu weza, wathatha isinkwa, wabapha, nangezinhlanzi wenza kanjalo. 14 Lokhu kwase kungokwesithathu uJesu ebonakaliswa kubafundi, esevukile kwabafileyo.
UJesu Uvivinya UPhethro
15 Kwathi sebeqedile, uJesu wathi kuSimoni Phethro: “Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda kunalaba na?”
UPhethro wathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi, uyazi Wena ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.”
UJesu wathi kuye: “Yipha amawundlu ami.”
16 Wabuye wathi kuye okwesibili: “Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na?”
UPhethro wathi kuye: “Yebo, Nkosi, uyazi Wena ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.”
UJesu wathi kuye: “Yalusa izimvu zami.”
17UJesu 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. 18 Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe: usemusha wawugqoka, uhambe lapho uthanda khona, kodwa uma usumdala, uyakwelula izandla zakho, omunye akugqokise, futhi akuyise lapho ungathandi khona. 19 Lokho wakusho ekhombisa ukufa azakumdumisa ngakho uNkulunkulu.”
Esekushilo lokho wathi: “Ngilandele.”
UJesu Nomfundi Amthandayo
20 UPhethro ephenduka, wabona umfundi uJesu amthandayo elandela, yena lowo owayencike esifubeni sakhe esidlweni, nowathi: “Nkosi, ngubani ozakukukhaphela na?”
21Kuthe uPhethro embona lowo, wathi kuJesu: “Pho Nkosi, lona uthini ngaye na?”
22UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma Mina ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngibuye, uhlushwe yini wena ngalokho na? Wena landela Mina.”
23Lokho okwashiwo nguJesu kwasabalala kubazalwane, baze bacabanga ukuthi lowo mfundi akayukufa. Empeleni uJesu akashongo ukuthi akayukufa, kodwa wathi: “Uma ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngibuye, wena uhlushwe yini ngalokho na?”
Isiphetho
24 Nguye lo mfundi ofakaza ngalezi zinto, futhi nobhale ngalokhu. Siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buyiqiniso. 25 Kukhona nezinye izinto eziningi uJesu azenza; ukuba bezingalotshwa ngayinye, ngithi nomhlaba wonke ungebe nandawo eyanele yokugcina lezo zincwadi ezingase zilotshwe.
