53 Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ παῖς τὴν παρʼ ἐλπίδα ἀναβίωσιν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σωτηρίαν, λαβὼν τὸ δρέπανον τὰ ἑαυτοῦ μόρια ἀφείλετο· καὶ δραμὼν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν εἰς ὄψιν τῆς μοιχαλίδος αὐτοῦ ἔρριψεν αὐτὰ λέγων· Διὰ σὲ πατρὸς φονεὺς καὶ ἡμῶν τῶν δύο γέγονα· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔχεις τὰ τούτων αἴτια. ἐμὲ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἠλέησεν ἐπιγνῶναι αὐτὸν διὰ τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννου.
