Wasengena komunye wemikhumbi, owawungokaSimoni, wamcela ukuthi awususe kancane emhlabathini. Wahlala phansi, wafundisa abantu esemkhunjini. Kwathi eseqedile ukukhuluma, wathi kuSimoni: Qhubekela ekujuleni, lehlise amanetha enu, libambe. USimoni waphendula wathi kuye: “Rabi, sishikile ubusuku bonke, asibambanga lutho; Sebekwenzile lokho babamba izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu, lagqabhuka inetha labo. Baqhweba abalingane babo ababekomunye umkhumbi, ukuba beze babasize. Beza, bayigcwalisa imikhumbi yomibili, yaze yaqala ukucwila. USimoni Petru ekubona, wawa phansi emadolweni kaJesu, wathi: “Suka kimi; ngoba ngingumuntu oyisoni, Nkosi. Ngokuba wamangala yena nabo bonke ababe naye ngokubanjiswa kwezinhlanzi ababezibambile. Ngokunjalo noJakobe noJohane, amadodana kaZebedewu, ababengabambisene noSimoni. UJesu wasesithi kuSimoni: Ungesabi; kusukela khathesi uzakubamba abantu. Sebeyifikisile imikhumbi emhlabathini, bashiya konke, bamlandela.
