⁹Pea hili ʻene ngaahi folofola ni, lolotonga ʻenau siofia ia, naʻe ʻave ia ki ʻolunga; pea fakapuli ia ʻe he ʻao meiate kinautolu.

¹⁰Pea ʻi heʻenau kei sio fakamamaʻu ki he langi, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake, ʻiloange, kuo tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ongo tangata kuo kofu hinehina;

¹²Pea naʻa nau toki liu mai ki Selūsalema mei he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ko hono vahaʻa mo Selūsalema ko e mamaʻo ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.

¹³Pea kuo nau hoko mai, pea nau ʻalu hake ki he potu ki ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe nonofo ai ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, mo ʻAnitelū, mo Filipe, mo Tōmasi, mo Pātolomiu, mo Mātiu, mo Semisi ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Saimone Selote, mo Siutasi ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi.

¹⁴Pea naʻe nonofo loto taha ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē, ʻi he lotu mo e hūfekina, fakataha mo e kau fefine, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sisu, mo hono kāinga.

¹⁵Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Pita ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ākonga (koe lau fakataha ʻoe kakai ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu,) ʻo ne pehē,

¹⁶“ʻAe kau tangata mo e kāinga, naʻe totonu ke fakamoʻoni ʻae tohi ni, ʻaia naʻe leaʻaki ʻi muʻa ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ngutu ʻo Tevita, kia Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu naʻe puke ʻa Sisu.

¹⁷He naʻe lau ia mo kitautolu, pea naʻe ai hono tufakanga ʻi he ngāue ni.”

¹⁹Pea naʻe ʻilo ia ʻe he kau nofo kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema: ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu fonua ko ia ʻi heʻenau lea, Ko ʻAkeletama, ko e pehē, “Ko e potu fonua ʻoe toto.”
