28 Mme Paulo a goa a re, "Se ipolaye re teng rotlhe!"

29 Ka go tshoga thata, motlhokomedi wa magolegwa a laola gore dipone di tle mme a tabogela kwa ntlwaneng e e kwa teng a feta a wela fa pele ga ga Paulo le Silase. 30 O ne a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle mme a ba kopa a re, "Barena, ke ka dirang gore ke bolokwe?" 31 Ba mohetola ba re, dumela mo go Morena Jesu mme o tlaa bolokwa, wena le bantlo ya gago.
