Can xubij c'a chire: Man ta ja nrajo' ri Dios, chi nibanatej achi'el ri xabij rat Ajaf, xcha' ri Pedro.

23 Pero tok ri Jesús xrac'axaj queri', xupiscolij-ri'. Y c'ari' c'a xubij chire ri Pedro: Man cac'oje-pe viq'uin rat Satanás,*Gn. 3:1-6; Mt. 4:10; Lc. 4:8; 2 Co. 11:14, 15. roma man utz ta ri nach'ob. Rat xa yatoc k'atbel nubey.
