Kwakukhona e-Antiyokiya ebandleni lakhona abaprofethi nabafundisi: oBarnaba, noSimeyoni othiwa uNigeri, noLukiyu waseKhurene, noManayeni owayondliwe kanye noHerode umtetrarki,* noSawulu. Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi, bezila, uMoya oNgcwele wathi: “Ngahlukaniseleni oBarnaba noSawulu ukuba baye emsebenzini engibabizele wona.” Khona bazila ukudla bakhuleka, babeka izandla phezu kwabo, babamukisa.
Bona-ke bethunyiwe nguMoya oNgcwele behlela eSelukiya; basuka lapho, baya eKhupro ngomkhumbi. Ekufikeni kwabo eSalami bashumayela izwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni* abaJuda; babe noJohane eyisikhonzi sabo.
Sebedabule isiqhingi sonke, baze bafika ePhafu, bafumana indoda ethile eyisanusi nomprofethi wamanga, umJuda, ogama lakhe linguBarjesu, owayekhona kumbusi wezwe uSergiyu Pawulu, umuntu onengqondo enhle. Yena wabiza oBarnaba noSawulu, wafuna ukuzwa izwi likaNkulunkulu. Kodwa u-Eluma, isanusi, ngokuba linjalo igama lakhe ngokuhunyushwa, wamelana nabo, wafuna ukuphambukisa umbusi ekukholweni. Kepha uSawulu osethiwa uPawulu, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele wamgqolozela, wathi: “O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke nobubi bonke, ndodana kaSathane, sitha sokulunga konke, awuyikuyeka ukuziphambukisa izindlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi na? Bheka, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho manje. Uzakuba yimpumputhe, kube yisikhathi ungaliboni ilanga.” Kwase kumfikela khona lapho ukufiphala nobumnyama, wahamba efuna abazakumhola ngesandla. Khona umbusi esebona okwenzekileyo wakholwa, emangaliswa ngesifundiso seNkosi.
UPawulu nababe naye bamuka ePhafu ngomkhumbi, bafika ePherge lasePhamfiliya; kepha uJohane wahlukana nabo, wabuyela eJerusalema.
