12 Τότε ἰδὼν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ τῷ θεῷ καὶ τῷ ἀποστόλῳ. ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ἰδὼν ὅτι εὔλογον αἰτίας εὑρίσκει καθʼ ὑμῶν λέγει τῷ ἀποστόλῳ· Ἐπειδὴ κατηγορίας ἐδεξάμην κατὰ σοῦ καὶ θεσμοὶ βασιλικοί εἰσι νὴ ἀτιμωρήτους ἐξέρχεσθαι τοὺς κατηγορουμένους, κελεύομέν σε ἐν νήσῳ τινὶ ἀπενεχθῆναι λεγομένη Πάτμῳ ἄχρι καιροῦ. Ὁ δὲ θεολόγος λέγει αὐτῷ· Ποίει ὃ βούλῃ.
