IZenzo 11:19-30

Kepha labo ababehlakazekile ngenxa yokuhlushwa okwaqala ngoStefani, bahamba baze bayofika eFenikhe, eKhuphro, nase-Antiyokhiya, bengakhulumanga zwi nakoyedwa, ngaphandle kwabaJuda. Kepha abanye kubo, amadoda ayevela eKhuphro naseKhurene, kwathi ukuba bafike e-Antiyokhiya, bakhuluma nakumaGriki, beshumayela ivangeli ngeNkosi uJesu. Isandla seNkosi sasinabo, abantu abaningi kakhulu bakholwa, baphendukela eNkosini. Umbiko ngabo wafinyelela ezindlebeni zebandla laseJerusalema, lathumela uBharnabha ukuba aye e-Antiyokhiya. Esefikile, wabona umusa kaNkulunkulu, wathokoza, wabagqugquzela bonke ukuba bazinikele ngenhliziyo, banamathele eNkosini. Wayeyindoda elungile, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele nokukholwa; kwenezelwa eNkosini abantu abaningi. UBharnabha wayesedlulela eTharsu eyofuna uSawula. Kwathi ukuba amfumane, wamyisa e-Antiyokhiya. Kwenzeka ukuba bahlanganyele ebandleni isikhathi esiwunyaka, befundisa abantu abaningi. Kwaqala-ke e-Antiyokhiya ukuba abafundi kuthiwe ngamaKhristu. Ngalezo zinsuku abaphrofethi behlela e-Antiyokhiya bevela eJerusalema. Kwase kusukuma omunye wabo, ogama lakhe kungu-Agabhu, wabikezela ngoMoya ukuthi kuzakubhoka indlala enkulu ezweni lonke, lokho okwenzeka ngesikhathi sikaKlawudiyu. Abafundi bazimisela ukuba kube yilowo nalowo ngangamandla akhe, bathumele okokusiza abazalwane eJudiya. Bonke bakwenza, bakuthumela emalungeni ngesandla sikaBharnabha noSawula.
