¹³Pea kuo hili ʻae ʻaho niʻihi, pea haʻu ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa mo Pelenaisi ki Sesalia ke nau feʻiloaki mo Fesito.

¹⁵Pea naʻe fakahā mai ia ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai Siu, ʻonau kole ke tukuange ia ke tāmateʻi.

²²Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkilipa kia Fesito, “ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo u fanongo foki au ki he tangata.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te ke fanongo kiate ia ʻapongipongi.”
