UJesu Ubonakala Kubadobi

Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile uJesu ebonakale kubaphostoli, uPetru wahamba wayodoba oLwandle LwaseGalile. UTomase, uJakobe, uJohane nabanye abafundi bahamba naye. Bachitha ubusuku bonke bedoba kodwa bengabambi lutho.

Ngakusasa ekuseni kakhulu, babona indoda imi ogwini lolwandle. Yamemeza yathi: ‘Bakhona yini ofishi enibatholile?’ Baphendula bathi: ‘Cha asitholanga lutho!’ Le ndoda yathi: ‘Phonsani inethi ngakwesokudla sesikebhe.’ Lapho beliphonsa babamba ofishi abaningi baze behluleka nokuphakamisa inethi. UJohane wabona lapho ukuthi le ndoda inguJesu ngakho wathi: “YiNkosi!” Ngaso leso sikhathi, uPetru wangena emanzini wabhukuda waya kuye. Abanye abafundi balandela ngesikebhe.

Lapho befika kuye, babona ofishi bethoswa emlilweni nesinkwa. UJesu wathi mabalethe abanye ofishi ukuze ukudla kube kuningi. Wabe esethi kubo: ‘Wozani sizodla.’

Ngemva kokudla, uJesu wabuza uPetru: ‘Uyangithanda yini ngaphezu kokudoba?’ UPetru wathi: ‘Yebo, Nkosi, uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.’ UJesu wathi: ‘Uma kunjalo yondla amawundlu ami.’ UJesu waphinde wambuza: ‘Petru, uyangithanda yini?’ UPetru wamphendula: ‘Nkosi uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.’ UJesu wathi: “Yalusa amawundlu ami.” UJesu wambuza okwesithathu. UPetru waphatheka kabi. Wathi: ‘Nkosi, wazi zonke izinto; uyazi ukuthi ngiyakuthanda.’ UJesu wathi: “Yondla amawundlu ami.” Wabe esethi kuPetru: “Qhubeka ungilandela.”
