Zvino akati ari parwendo, oswedera pedyo neDhamasiko, kamwe-kamwe chiedza chakabva kudenga chikamupenyera pamativi ose, akawira pasi, akanzwa izwi richiti kwaari, “Sauro, Sauro, unonditambudzireiko?” Iye akati, “Ndimi aniko, Ishe?” Akati, “Ndini Jesu waunotambudza; zvinokuremera kupfura zvibayiso.” Iye achidedera nokutya, akati, “Ishe, munoda kuti ndiiteiko?” Ishe akati kwaari, “Simuka, uende muguta, uchandoudzwa zvaunofanira kuita.” Varume vaiva parwendo naye, vakamira vanyerere, vachinzwa izwi, asi vasingaoni munhu. Zvino Sauro akasimuka; asi achisvinudza meso ake, haana kuona chinhu; vakamubata ruoko, vakaenda naye Dhamasiko. Akaita mazuva matatu, asingaoni, asingadyi, asinganwi chinhu.

Akagara navadzidzi paDhamasiko mamwe mazuva. Pakarepo akaparidza Jesu mumasinagoge, kuti ndiye Mwanakomana waMwari.
