Pa nsiku inango, pomwe Pedru na Juwau akhayenda ku tempwlo, munthuyo adati kwa iwo: ‘Ndaphata minyendo, ndipasenimbo kobiri.’ Tsono Pedru adati: ‘Inepano ndiribe kobiri. Koma ndin’kupasa cinthu cakuposa kobirizo. M’dzina la Jezu, muka ufambe!’ Pedru adathandiza munthuyo kumukako, ndipo iye adayambadi kufamba! Wanthu akhali pamwepowo adadabwa na cakucitikaci, ndipo azinji adakhala ateweri wa Jezu.

Iwo ali ku tempwlo, ndipo ankupfunzisa wanthu!’ Tenepo, apostolowo adadzamangidwa pomwe, aciyendesedwa ku nyumba yakutongera mirandu ire. Ndipo mkulu wa ansembe adati kwa iwo: ‘Ifepano tidakuuzani kuti muleke kulewa pomwe bza Jezu!’ Tsono Pedru adatawira kuti: ‘Tin’funika kubvera Mulungu ninga mtongi kuposa kubvera wanthu.’
