UJesu waphendula wathi : Uzakudela ukuphila kwakho ngenxa y ami na ? Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe : Iqhude alizukukhala, ungakangiphiki kathathu.

Wabuye waphika uPetru; masinyane lakhala iqhude. UJesu ephambi kukaPilatu (Math. 27:11; Mark. 15:1; Luk. 23:1)

Wayesethi: Ngiyakutshela, Petru, ukuthi iqhude aliyikukhala namhlanje , ungakangiphiki kathathu ukuthi awungazi.

Kepha uPetru wathi : Muntundini, angikwazi ukuthi uthini . Masinyane esakhuluma, lakhala iqhude.

INkosi yayisiphendu ka, yambheka uPetru . UPetru walikhumbula izwi leNkosi, njengokuba ithe kuye : Iqhude lingakakhali namhlanje , uzakungiphika kathathu.

UJesu wathi kuye : Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe : Namhlanje ngalobu busuku , lingakakhali kabili iqhude, uzakungiphika kathathu.

Kepha waphika wathi : Angikwazi, yebo, angikuzwisisi okushoyo ; waphumela enkundleni; lakhala iqhude.

UJesu wathi kuye : Ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe : Ngalobu busuku, lingakakhali iqhude, uzakungiphika kathathu.

Khona waqala ukuthuka nokufunga , wathi: Angimazi lowo muntu . Masinyane lase likhala iqhude.

UPetru wayesekhumbula izwi likaJesu abelishilo lokuthi : Iqhude lingakakhali, uzakungiphika kathathu . Waphumela phandle , wakhala kamunyu.
