UJESU umile endleleni eya eKesariya Filipi, futhi ufundisa isixuku kanye nabaphostoli bakhe. Wenza lesimemezelo esithusayo kubona: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemi lapha abangayikuzwa ngempela ukufa, baze bayibone iNdodana yomuntu iza embusweni wayo.”

‘UJesu usho ukuthini?’ abafundi kumelwe bazibuze. Cishe esikhathini esingangesonto kamuva, uJesu uthatha uPetru, uJakobe, noJohane kanye naye futhi bakhuphukela entabeni ende. Ngokunokwenzeka kusebusuku, njengoba abafundi bozela. Ngesikhathi uJesu ethandaza, uphenduka esinye isimo phambi kwabo. Ubuso bakhe buqala ukukhanya njengelanga, nezingubo zakhe zikhazimula njengokukhanya.

Ngemva kokufa kukaJesu, uPetru wabhala ngokuba ‘abawabonayo amandla obukhosi bukaKristu sikanye naye entabeni engcwele.’
