IzEnzo 8:14-24

Kwathi abaphostoli abaseJerusalema bezwile ukuthi iSamariya ilamukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu, bathuma kubo oPetro loJohane; Sebehlile babakhulekela, ukuze bamukele uMoya oNgcwele; (Ngoba wayengakehleli phezu kwamunye wabo, kodwa babebhabhathizwe ebizweni leNkosi uJesu.) Basebebeka izandla phezu kwabo, basebemamukela uMoya oNgcwele. USimoni esebonile ukuthi ngokubekwa kwezandla zabaphostoli uyaphiwa uMoya oNgcwele, waletha kubo imali.

Ngakho-ke phenduka kulobu bubi bakho, unxuse kuNkulunkulu, ukuba mhlawumbe uthethelelwe isizindlo senhliziyo yakho. Ngokuba ngiyabona ukuthi usenyongweni ebabayo, nasesibophweni sobubi. USimoni waphendula wathi: “Ngikhulekeleni nina eNkosini ukuba kungenzeki lutho lwalokhu enikushilo.
