4Kuthe esegcinile ukukhuluma, wathi kuSimoni: “Qhubekela ekujuleni, nehlise amanetha enu, nibambe.”
5USimoni waphendula wathi: “Nkosi, sishikile ubusuku bonke, asibambanga lutho; kepha ngezwi lakho ngiyakuwehlisa amanetha.”
6Sebekwenzile lokho babamba izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu, aze agqabuka amanetha abo. 7Babaqhweba omana babo abakomunye umkhumbi ukuba beze, bababambise. Beza-ke, bayigcwalisa imikhumbi yomibili, yaze yathi ayizike.
8Kuthe uSimoni Petru ekubona lokho, waziphonsa phansi ngasemadolweni kaJesu, wathi: “Suka kimi, Nkosi, ngokuba ngingumuntu oyisoni.” 9Ngokuba ubehlelwa ngukwesaba, yena kanye nabo bonke ababe naye, ngobuningi bezinhlanzi ababezibambile, 10kanjalo-ke noJakobe noJohane amadodana kaZebedewu ababesebenzisana noSimoni.
UJesu wathi kuSimoni: “Ungesabi; kusukela manje uzakubamba abantu.” 11Sebeyilethile imikhumbi emhlabathini bashiya konke, bamlandela.
