49 Ὁ δὲ νεανίας ὁρῶν τὸν ἄωρον θάνατον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, προσδοκῶν συλληφθῆναι καὶ ἀντιφονευθῆναι, τὴν λύπην μὴ φέρων, ὃ ἐπεφέρετο δρέπανον τρέχων ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἠβουλήθη σφάξαι τὴν γυναῖκα, εἶθ᾿ οὕτως ἑαυτόν. τοῦτον οὖν ἰδὼν ὁ Ἰωάννης τρέχοντα καὶ γνοὺς τῷ πνεύματι εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν· Στῆθι δαῖμον καὶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί τρέχεις. Ὁ δὲ παῖς τρέμων καὶ κλαίων διηγήσατο τὸν Ἰωάννην ὅτι Πατρὸς φονεὺς γέγονα ὁ ταλαίπωρος· καὶ ἰδοὺ διὰ τὴν πολλὴν θλῖψιν μέλλω καὶ ἣν ἐμοίχευσα γυναῖκα ἀνελεῖν καὶ ἐμαυτόν.
