Kule ndima yeVangeli, "izinkinobho zombuso wezulu" zinikezwa upapa wokuqala weSonto. USt Peter, obephethe igunya laphezulu leBandla Emhlabeni, unegunya lokusifundisa konke okudingeka sikwazi ukuze sifinyelele ezulwini.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, iVangeli alishintshi, okuwukuphela kwento Ushintsho ukuqonda kwethu okujulile nokucacile kwaleli Vangeli. Makabongwe uNkulunkulu ngoPeter nabo bonke abamlandelayo abasebenzela iBandla kule ndima ebalulekile.
USanta Paul, omunye umphostoli esimhlonipha namuhla, wayengeyena ngokwakhe ophethe izinkhiye zikaPeter, kodwa wabizwa nguKristu futhi waqiniswa ngokugcotshwa kwakhe ukuba ngumphostoli wabezizwe.
