I Ikoniyo baca binjira hamwe mu nsengero y’Abayuda, bavuga ku buryo abantu benshi cane, haba Abayuda haba n’Abagiriki, bemeye. Ariko Abayuda banse kwemera baravurunganya bongera bashurashura imitima y’abanyamahanga kugira babashe abo bavukanyi. Baramaze igihe kirekire, bavuga batinyutse ku bwa Mwami, uwashimangiye ubutumwa bwiwe bw’ubuntu, akora ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza biciye mu minwe yabo. Ariko igisagara caricamwo kabiri: bamwe bashigikira Abayuda, abandi bashigikira intumwa. Igihe abanyamahanga n’Abayuda, hamwe n’abategetsi babo, bimirije kubagirira nabi no kubatera amabuye, babimenye baca bahungira mu bisagara vy’i Likawoniya, Lusitira na Deribe, no mu karere kavyegereye, aho na ho bagumye bamamaza inkuru nziza.

Data akiza i Lusitira

Hariho umugabo yicaye i Lusitira, afise amaguru adakora, akomoka ari igicumuro kuva avuka, atari warageze agenda. Yariko yumviriza Paulo avuga. Paulo aramwitegereza, abona ko afise ukwizera kw’ikiza, aravuga n’ijwi rirenga ati: “Haguruka uhagarare ku maguru yawe.” Wa mugabo aca asimbuka aratangura kugenda. Amasinzi abonye ivyo Paulo yakoze, basemerera mu Rulikawoniya bati: “Imana zimanutse zije kuri twebwe mu buntu bw’abantu!” Baraninga Barunaba ngo ni Zewusi, Paulo na we baramwita Herume, kuko ari we yavuga ubwa mbere. Umuherezi wa Zewusi, uwo urusengero rwiwe rwari imbere y’igisagara, azana impfizi n’imishaba ku marembo, agomba kubashikanira ikimazi hamwe n’amasinzi.

Ariko intumwa Barunaba na Paulo bavyumvise, batabura impuzu zabo, biruka binjira mu masinzi, basemerera, bavuga bati: “Bagabo, ni kuki mukora ibi? Natwe turi abantu nkamwe, dufise kamere nk’iyanyu. Turabazaniye inkuru nziza: muve kuri ivyo bintu bidafise ikimazi, muje kuri Data muzima, uwaremye ijuru n’isi n’ikiyaga n’ibintu vyose biri muri vyo. Mu bihe vyahise yarekeye amahanga yose ngo agende mu nzira yayo bwite, yamara ntiyirekera ata ntahe afise: akora iciza, akabaha imvura ivuye mw’ijuru n’ibihe vy’umwimbu, yuzuza imitima yanyu ibifungurwa n’umunezero.”

N’aho bavuze ayo majambo, baracese cane kubuza amasinzi kubashikanira ikimazi. Ariko Abayuda bavuye i Antiyokiya n’i Ikoniyo baraza, bosha amasinzi, batera Paulo amabuye, baramukwegera inyuma y’igisagara, biyumvira ko yapfuye. Abigishwa bamaze kumukikuza, arahaguruka yinjira mu gisagara. Bukeye aragenda aja i Deribe na Barunaba.
