kodwa uma kungukuqophisana ngamazwi, ngamagama nangomthetho wakini, ziboneleni nina. Mina angifuni ukuba ngumehluleli walokho.” Wayesebaxosha phambi kwesihlalo sokwehlulela. Khona bonke badumela uSostene, umphathi wesinagoge, bamshaya phambi kwesihlalo sokwehlulela, kodwa uGaliyu wakushaya indiva lokho. Kuthe uPawula esehlale lapho izinsuku eziningi, wavalelisa kubazalwane, wahamba ngomkhumbi, waya eSiriya noPhrisila no-Akhwila; eseligundile ikhanda lakhe eKhenikhreya, ngokuba wayezibophezele ngesifungo. Bafika e-Efesu, wayesebashiya lapho; yena wangena esinagogeni, waqophisana nabaJuda. Kwathi noma bemncenga ukuba ahlale nabo isikhathi esijana, akaze avuma, kodwa wavalelisa, wathi: “Ngizobuya futhi lapha kini, uma uNkulunkulu evuma.” Wayesesuka e-Efesu ngomkhumbi. Kuthe esefikile eKhesariya, wakhuphuka wayobingelela ibandla, wayesehlela e-Antiyokhiya. Kwathi esehlale khona isikhathi esithile, wahamba, wadabula eGalathiya naseFrigiya ngokulandelana, eqinisa bonke abafundi. UmJuda othile, ogama lakhe kungu-Apholo, wase-Aleksandriya ngokudabuka, indoda efundile futhi enolwazi olunzulu emibhalweni, wafika e-Efesu. Yena wayeyifundisiwe indlela yeNkosi, evutha emoyeni, wakhuluma, wafundisa ngokucacile ngezindaba eziqondene noJesu, kodwa wayazi kuphela umbhabhadiso kaJohane. Waqala ukushumayela ngesibindi esinagogeni, kwathi ukuba bamuzwe oPhrisila no-Akhwila, bamthatha bamcacisela kahle indlela kaNkulunkulu. Kuthe esefuna ukwedlulela e-Akhaya esekhuthaziwe, abazalwane base belobela abafundi ukuba bamamukele. Esefikile lapho, wabasiza kakhulu labo abakholwayo ngomusa, ngokuba wabaphikisa abaJuda ngamandla phambi kwabantu, ekhomba ngemibhalo ukuthi uJesu unguKhristu.
