Ngezinye izikhathi wayejabula kakhulu abonakale njengejuba eliwumqemane nelingqabashiyayo, futhi ngezinye izikhathi wayedangala ngezinga lokuthi aze angakhulumi nhlobo, abonakale esindwa wusizi kube sengathi ungumama okhathele nongenamandla. Ngezinye izikhathi wayethukuthela, njengesosha elinesibindi elilungele ukuyobulala izitha, ngezinye izikhathi wayeba ngisho njengebhubesi elibhongayo. Ngezinye izikhathi wayehleka; ngezinye izikhathi wayethandaza futhi akhale. Akukhathalisekile ukuthi uJesu wayenzani, lokho kwenza uPetru waba nothando kanye nokumhlonipha okungenamkhawulo.
