Emva kwalokho uJesu wabuye wazibonakalisa kubafundi ngaselwandle lwaseTiberiya; wazibonakalisa kanjalo.
Kwakundawonye oSimoni Petru, noTomase othiwa uDidimu, noNathanayeli waseKhana laseGalile, namadodana kaZebedewu, nabanye ababili kubafundi bakhe.
USimoni Petru wathi kubo: “Ngiya kodoba. Basebesithi kuye: Lathi sihamba lawe. Base bephuma, bangena emkhunjini masinyane; futhi ngalobo busuku ababambanga lutho.
Kepha sekusile, uJesu wema ogwini, kepha abafundi babengazi ukuthi nguJesu.
Khona uJesu wathi kubo: Bantwana, aninakho ukudla na? Bamphendula bathi: Hatshi.
Wasesithi kubo: Phonsani inetha ngakwesokunene somkhumbi, lizathola. Base bephonsa, kepha babe besaba namandla ukulidonsa ngenxa yobuningi bezinhlanzi.
Ngakho lowomfundi uJesu amthandayo wathi kuPetro: YiNkosi. USimoni Petru, ekuzwa ukuthi yiNkosi, wagqoka ingubo yakhe yokudoba, ngokuba wayenqunu, waziphonsa olwandle.
Abanye abafundi beza ngomkhumbi; (ngokuba babengekude nenhlabathi, kungathi izingalo ezingamakhulu amabili), bedonsa inetha elinezinhlanzi.
Khona sebefikile emhlabathini, babona umlilo wamalahle, nezinhlanzi kubekwe kuwo, nesinkwa.
UJesu wathi kubo: Lethani izinhlanzi enizibambe manje.
USimoni Petru wakhuphuka, walihudulela emhlabathini inetha ligcwele izinhlanzi ezinkulu, eziyikhulu namashumi ayisihlanu nantathu;
UJesu wathi kubo: Wozani lidle. Kodwa kakho kubafundi owaba lesibindi sokumbuza ukuthi: Wena ungubani? besazi ukuthi yiNkosi.
UJesu wayesesiza, wathatha isinkwa, wabanika, nezinhlanzi ngokunjalo.
Lokhu sekungokwesithathu uJesu ezibonakalisa kubafundi bakhe, esevukile kwabafileyo.
Sebedlile uJesu wathi kuSimoni Petru: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda kunalaba na? Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye: Dlisa amawundlu ami.
Wabuye wathi kuye ngokwesibili: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na? Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. Wathi kuye: Dlisa izimvu zami.
Wathi kuye ngokwesithathu: Simoni kaJona, uyangithanda na? UPetru wadabuka ngokuba wathi kuye ngokwesithathu: Uyangithanda na? Wathi kuye: “Nkosi, wazi zonke izinto wena; uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda. UJesu wathi kuye: Dlisa izimvu zami.
Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile, ngithi kuwe: Usemusha, wawuzibhinca, uhambe lapho owawuthanda khona; hhayi.
Wakukhuluma lokho ekhomba ukufa okungako ayeyakukhazimulisa ngakho uNkulunkulu. Eseshilo lokho wathi kuye: “Ngilandele.”
UPetru ephenduka wabona umfundi uJesu amthandayo elandela; laye eyame esifubeni sakhe esidlweni, wathi: Nkosi, ngubani okukhaphelayo?
UPetro embona wathi kuJesu: Nkosi, lo uzakwenzani?
UJesu wathi kuye: “Uma ngithanda ukuba ahlale ngize ngifike, kuyini kuwe na? ngilandele.
Khona leli zwi laphumela kubazalwane ukuthi lowo mfundi akayikufa; kodwa ukuthi: Uba ngithanda ukuthi ahlale ngize ngifike, kuyini kuwe?
Nguye lo umfundi ofakaza ngalezi zinto, nezilobile lezizinto; siyazi ukuthi ubufakazi bakhe buqinisile.
Kukhona nezinye izinto eziningi uJesu azenzayo, okuthi, uma bezilotshwa zonke ngazinye, ngithi nomhlaba ngokwawo ubungekwazi ukuthwala izincwadi ebezingalotshwa. Amen.
