9 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wayegcwele umoya wokuhlakanipha ngoba uMosi wayembeke izandla+ njalo abantu bako-Israyeli baqalisa ukumlalela futhi benza khona kanye uJehova ayekutshele uMosi.+

14 Abaphostoli eJerusalema bathi besizwa ukuthi amaSamariya alamukele ilizwi likaNkulunkulu,+ bathuma uPhetro loJohane ukuthi bayekhona.

17 Ngakho bawabeka izandla,+ asesamukela umoya ongcwele.

2 Bathi besakhonza uJehova* futhi bezile ukudla, umoya ongcwele wathi: “Ngikhethelani uBhanabha loSawuli+ ukuze benze umsebenzi engibabizele wona.”+ 3 Ngemva kokuzila lokuthandaza, bababeka izandla babayekela bahamba.

14 Ungasithathi lula isipho olaso owasiphiwa ngesiphrofetho ngesikhathi iqula labadala likubeka izandla.+

22 Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla zakho kuloba ngubani*+ njalo ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye, zigcine umsulwa.

6 Ngenxa yalokho, ngiyakukhumbuza ukuthi usikhwezele njengomlilo isipho sikaNkulunkulu esikuwe, owasithola lapho ngikubeka izandla.+
