ULUKA 22

UPetros ukhanyela uYesu

54Bembambile uYesu, bamqhuba bamsa endlwini yombingeleli omkhulu. UPetros wayelandela ekude. 55Kwakubaswe umlilo eyadini, kusothiwa, noPetros ke waya kotha kunye nabo. 56Isicakazana esithile simbonile uPetros ehleli ngasemlilweni, samqwalasela, sathi: “Naló ebekunye naye!”

57Wakhanyela ke yena esithi: “Ntokazindini, andimazi loo mntu!”

58Kwakuba mzuzwana, wabonwa ngomnye owathi: “Nawe ungowabo.”

Waza wathi uPetros: “He mfondini, andinguye!”

59Malunga neyure emva koko omnye watsho eqinisekile wathi: “Inene, nalo ikwanguwabo, kuba ukwangowaseGalili.”

60Wathi uPetros: “Mfondini, andazani tu nale nto uyithethayo!”

Kwathi kwangoko, esathetha, yakhala inkuku. 61Yajika iNkosi, yakhangela kuPetros. Walikhumbula ke uPetros ilizwi leNkosi elithi: “Namhlanje ingekakhali inkuku, wondikhanyela kathathu.” 62Waphuma phandle uPetros, watsho esikrakra.

ULUKA 22:54-62XHO96Vula kumfundi weBhayibhile

Expect to experience times of doubt since faith is not a simple mathematical equation or an exact science. If at times life seems uneventful, boring or simply sad, take each day as it comes. Take comfort in the knowledge that Jesus wept, saints also sinned, and that even Peter betrayed Christ and the disciples failed Christ at the most crucial time in his life when they fled in stead of standing firm for what they believed in.
