Vakati vagara mazuva mazhinji, Fesito akaisa mhosva yaPauro kuna mambo, achiti, “Kuno mumwe murume akasiyiwa pano naFerikisi, akasungwa; ndichiri paJerusaremu, vapristi vakuru navakuru vavaJudha vakamumhan'arira, vachikumbira kuti atongerwe rufu. Ndikavapindura, ndikati haizi tsika yavaRoma kuisa kumutongi munhu apomerwa, asati ava navapomeri pamberi pake, akatenderwa kuzvidavirira pamusoro pemhosva yaanopomerwa nayo. Zvino vakati vaungana pano, handina kunonoka, asi fume mangwana ndakagara pachigaro chokutonga, ndikarayira kuti vauye nomurume uyo. Zvino vapomeri vakasimuka, asi havana kumupomera mhosva yezvinhu zvakaipa zvandakanga ndichiti vachamupomera nazvo; asi vakanga vanamamwe mashoko okupira kwavo, noomumwe Jesu akanga afa, ainzi naPauro mupenyu. “Zvino ini, zvandakanga ndisingazivi mubvunziro wezvinhu zvakadai, ndikabvunza kana achida kuenda Jerusaremu kundotongwa ikoko pamusoro pezvinhu izvozvo. Asi Pauro akati akumbira kuti achengetwe kuzotongwa namambo mukuru, ndikarayira kuti achengetwe kusvikira ndichimutumira kuna Kesari.” Ipapo Agiripa akati kuna Fesito, “Neni ndinoda kunzwa munhu uyu ndimene.” Iye akati, “Mangwana muchamunzwa.” Fume mangwana Agiripa akati asvika naBherinike, vashonga kwazvo, vapinda mumba maitambirwa mhaka, navakuru vechiuru chamazana, navakuru veguta, vakauya naPauro varayirwa naFesito. Zvino Fesito akati, “Mambo Agiripa, nemi varume vose vaneni, munoona munhu uyu, wandakanyengeterwa navaJudha vose paJerusaremu napano, vakadanidzira, vachiti, ‘Haafaniri kuva mupenyu.’ Asi ini ndakawana kuti haana kuita chinhu chakafanira rufu, uye zvaakakumbira kuiswa kuna mambo mukuru, ndakati, ndichamutuma. Asi handina shoko kwaro rezvokwadi randinganyorera ishe pamusoro pake; saka ndauya naye pamberi penyu, zvikuru pamberi penyu, imi mambo Agiripa, kuti kana abvunziswa nemi, ndigova nezvandinganyora. Nokuti kwandiri zvakaita sezvisina kufanira kutuma musungwa, mhosva dzaakakwirirwa nadzo dzisingaziviswiwo.”
