35Zvino kwakati kwaedza vatongi vakatuma mapurisa, vachiti, “Sunungurai vanhu vaya.”
36Murindi wetorongo akaudza Pauro mashoko iwayo, achiti, “Vatongi vatuma shoko kuti musunungurwe; naizvozvo budai henyu zvino, muende norugare.”
37Asi Pauro akati kwavari, “Vakatirova pachena, isu vanhu vaRoma tisina kutongwa, vakatiisa mutorongo; zvino voda kutibudisa chinyararire here? Haiwa kwete! Ngavauye vamene vatibudise.”
38Mapurisa akaudza vatongi mashoko iwayo; vakatya vachinzwa kuti vaRoma; 39vakasvika, vakakumbira zvikuru kwavari; vakavabudisa, mutorongo ndokuvakumbira kuti vabve muguta ravo.
