UJesu waqinisekisa umpostoli uPitrosi ukuthi uJehova uzomtlhogomela. Ngemva kokuvuswa kwakaJesu, wenzela uPitrosi nabanye abapostoli enye ikarisomraro yokubamba iinhlambi.

Kungenzeka abapostoli bakhumbula amezwi kaJesu avela kuJehova athi uzokutlhogomela labo “abafuna umBuso qangi.” (Mat. 6:33) Ngokuvumelana namezwi lawo uPitrosi wenza umsebenzi wokutjhumayela weza qangi ekuphileni kwakhe ingasi irhwebo lokuthiya iinhlambi. Watjhumayela ngesibindi ngelanga lePentekoste laka-33 C.E., asiza iingidi zabantu bona zamukele iindaba ezimnandi. (IzE. 2:14, 37-41) Ngemva kwalokho, wasiza abantu beSamariya nabantu abangasimaJuda ukuthi bamukele uKrestu. (IzE. 8:14-17; 10:44-48) Siyaqiniseka bona uJehova wasebenzisa uPitrosi ngendlela enamandla ukuletha yoke imihlobo yabantu ebandleni. w23.09 20 ¶1; 23 ¶11
