IZenzo 18:1-14 ZUL20

Emveni kwalokho, uPawula wasuka e-Athene waya eKhorinte. Wafumana lapho umJuda othile, ogama lakhe ngu-Akhwila odabuka ePhontu, owayesanda kufika evela e-Ithaliya, nomkakhe uPhrisila, ngenxa yesimemezelo sikaKlawudiyu sokuba bonke abaJuda baphume baphele eRoma; naye-ke weza kubona. Ngokuba wayenza umsebenzi ofanayo nowabo, wahlala nabo, basebenza, ngokuba umsebenzi wabo kwakungukuthunga amathende. Wayeqagulisana nabo njalo ngeSabatha esinagogeni, wazuza abaJuda namaGriki.
