Kepha oPetru noJohane benyukela kanyekanye ethempelini ngehora lokukhuleka eliyihora lesishiyagalolunye.
Kwakuthwala indoda ethile eyayilunyonga kwasesiswini sikanina, ababeyibeka imihla ngemihla ngasesangweni lethempeli elithiwa Elihle, ukuba icele izipho kwabangena ethempelini;
eyathi ibona uPetro loJohane sebezangena ethempelini, yacela isipho.
UPetro wasemgqolozela kanye loJohane, wathi: Sikhangele.
Wabanaka, ethemba ukuthola utho kubo.
UPetro wasesithi: Isiliva legolide kangilalo; kodwa lokho enginakho ngikunika khona: Egameni likaJesu Kristu waseNazaretha, sukuma uhambe.
Wayibamba ngesandla sokunene, wayiphakamisa;
Wasegxuma wema, wahamba, wangena nabo ethempelini, ehamba egxuma, edumisa uNkulunkulu.
Bonke abantu bayibona ihamba, idumisa uNkulunkulu;
Base bemazi ukuthi nguye owayehlalela isipho ngaseSangweni Elihle lethempeli; bagcwala ukumangala nokumangala ngalokho okwakwenzakele kuye.
Kwathi isinyonga esisilisiweyo sibambe oPetru noJohane, abantu bonke bagijimela kubo kanyekanye ekhulusini elithiwa elikaSolomoni, bemangele kakhulu.
UPetru ekubona waphendula abantu wathi: “Madoda akwa-Israyeli, nimangala ngalokho na? Kumbe nisigqolozeleni ngokungathi ngamandla ethu nangobungcwele bethu senze lo ukuba ahambe na?
UNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, uNkulunkulu wawokhokho bethu, uyikhazimulisile iNdodana yakhe uJesu; enamkhaphela nina, namphika phambi kukaPilatu, yena esenqumile ukumkhulula.
Kepha naphika oNgcwele noLungileyo, nacela ukuba niphiwe umbulali;
Labulala uMbusi wokuphila, uNkulunkulu amvusa kwabafileyo; esingofakazi bakho.
Negama layo ngokukholwa egameni layo liyiqinisile le ndoda eniyibonayo neniyaziyo;
Manje, bazalwane, ngiyazi ukuthi nenze ngokungazi njengababusi benu.
Kodwa lokho uNkulunkulu akumemezela ngaphambili ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe bonke ukuthi uKristu wayezakuhlupheka, ukugcwalisile ngokunjalo.
Ngakho-ke phendukani, niguquke, ukuze kusulwe izono zenu, ukuze kufike izikhathi zokuhlunyelelwa zivela ebusweni beNkosi;
Iyakuthuma uJesu Kristu owashunyayelwa kini ngaphambili;
omelwe ukumamukela izulu kuze kube yizikhathi zokubuyiselwa kwakho konke uNkulunkulu azikhulumayo ngomlomo wabaprofethi bakhe abangcwele bonke kusukela kwaphakade.
Ngoba uMozisi wathi kokhokho: INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izalivusela umprofethi kubazalwane benu onjengami; lizamuzwa kukho konke azakutsho kini.
Kuyakuthi wonke umuntu ongayikumlalela lowo mprofethi uyakuchithwa kubantu.
Yebo, nabaprofethi bonke, kusukela kuSamuweli nabalandelayo, bonke abakhulumileyo, babikezela ngalezi zinsuku.
Nina ningamadodana abaprofethi nawesivumelwano uNkulunkulu asenza nokhokho bethu, ethi ku-Abrahama: ‘Nangenzalo yakho imindeni yonke yomhlaba iyakubusiswa.’
UNkulunkulu eseyivusile iNdodana yakhe uJesu, wayithuma kini kuqala, ukuze anibusise ngokuniphendula yilowo nalowo ebubini bakhe.
