2 Ke kaloku umbingeleli omkhulu, uHananiya, wathi kwabo babemi ngakuye, mabambethe emlonyeni.
3 Waza wathi uPawulos kuye, Úza kukubetha uThixo, ludongandini luqatyiweyo. Wena uthi uhlalele ukuba uthethe ityala lam ngokomthetho, ubuye waphule umthetho, uthi mandibethwe?
4 Bona ke ababemi khona bathi, Ùyamthuka na umbingeleli omkhulu kaThixo?
5 Wathi uPawulos, Bendingazi, bazalwana, ukuba ungumbingeleli omkhulu; kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uze ungathethi kakubi ngomphathi wabantu bakowenu.
6 Ke kaloku uPawulos, esazi ukuba elinye icala lelabaSadusi, elinye ke lelabaFarisi, wadanduluka entlanganisweni yamatyala esithi, Madoda, bazalwana, mna ndingumFarisi, ndingowomFarisi; ndimangalelwe mna ngalo ithemba nangovuko lwabafileyo.
7 Uthe ke akukuthetha oko, kwabakho impambano phakathi kwabaFarisi nabaSadusi, yahlulelana inkitha leyo;
8 kuba okunene abaSadusi babesithi, akukho luvuko, nasithunywa sazulu, namoya; kodwa abaFarisi bazivuma zombini ezo ndawo.
