Kwathi lapho sesihlukene nabo, sahamba ngomkhumbi, sahamba ngendlela eqondile saze safika eKhose, ngakusasa safinyelela eRode, sedlula lapho saya ePhathara, sesitholile isikebhe esiwelela eFonesiya, sangena kuso, sahamba. Kwathi sesiyibona iKhuphro saze sayedlula, siyishiya ngemuva ngakwesokhohlo, saya eSiriya. Safika echwebeni eThire, ngokuba umkhumbi wawuzokwethula lapho izimpahla. Emva kokubafuna abafundi, sahlala khona izinsuku eziyikhombisa; beqhutshwa nguMoya, bamtshela uPawula ukuba angalubeki eJerusalema. Kepha kuthe seziphelile lezo zinsuku, saphuma sahamba, siphelezelwa yibo bonke, nomkabo nabantwana, baze basibeka ngaphandle komuzi. Saguqa ngamadolo ogwini, sakhuleka, savalelisana, sangena emkhumbini, kodwa bona babuyela emakhaya.
Thina sesiluqedile uhambo sisuka eThire, safika ePhetholemayi, sesibabingelele abazalwane, sahlala nabo usuku. Ngakusasa sahamba saze safika eKhesariya, sangena emzini kaFiliphu umvangeli, owayengomunye wabayisikhombisa, sahlala naye. Yena-ke wayenamadodakazi amane, ayizintombi eziphrofethayo.
Kwathi sisahleli lapho izinsukwana, kwafika umphrofethi evela eJudiya, igama lakhe lingu-Agabhu. Esefikile kithi, wathatha ibhande likaPawula, wazibopha ngalo izinyawo nezandla, wathi: “Usho lokhu uMoya oNgcwele, uthi: ‘Lo muntu ongumnikazi waleli bhande, abaJuda eJerusalema bazakumbopha kanje, bamkhaphele ezandleni zabezizwe.’ ”
Lapho sikuzwa lokhu, samncenga thina kanye nabantu bakuleya ndawo ukuba angakhuphukeli eJerusalema. Nokho uPawula waphendula wathi: “Nenzani ukuba nikhale nidabukise inhliziyo yami na? Ngokuba mina sengikulungele, hhayi nje ukuboshwa kuphela, kodwa nokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yegama leNkosi uJesu.”
Sesehlulekile ukumvimba, sathula sathi: “Mayenziwe intando yeNkosi.”
Emva kwalezo zinsuku umthwalo waba sobhokweni, sakhuphukela eJerusalema. Abanye babafundi baseKhesariya bahamba nathi, basiyisa kuMnasoni othile waseKhuphro, umfundi omdala, esangenisa kwakhe.
