Waphuma owokuqala, ebomvana wonke umzimba , enjengengubo yoboya; baqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi u-Esawu.

Amagama abaphostoli abayishumi nambili yilawa : owokuqala nguSimoni othiwa uPetru , no-Andreya umfowabo , noJakobe kaZebedewu , noJohane umfowabo,

Kwakukhona-ke kithi izelamani eziyisikhombisa : owokuqala waganwa , wafa; engenanzalo washiya umkakhe kumfowabo.

Kwakukhona izelamani eziyisikhombisa, owokuqala wathatha umfazi; wafa engashiyanga nzalo.

UJesu waphendula wathi : Owokuqala ngowokuthi : Yizwa, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, iNkosi, yinye.

Kepha bonke baqala ukuzilandulela ngazwi linye ; owokuqala wathi kuye : Ngithengile insimu , kuswelekile ukuba ngiye ngiyibone ; ngiyakuncenga, mawungilandulele.

Kwakukhona izelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wathatha umfazi; wafa engenamntwana,

Kepha uma kwambulwa utho komunye ohlezi khona, kathule owokuqala.

Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseSmirna loba ukuthi : Nakhu akushoyo owokuqala nowokugcina, owayefile kepha osephila, uthi:

Ngingu-Alfa no-Omega, owokuqala nowokuphela, isiqalo nesigcino.
