Δεῖ οὖν τινα ἀντ’ ἐμοῦ τὸν ἐμὸν ἀναπληρῶσαι τόπον. καὶ πάντες ἐκτενῶς τοῦ θεοῦ δεηθῶμεν, ὅπως τὸν ὄντα ἄξιον ὁ θεὸς ἀναδείξῃ. καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἐπέθηκεν χεῖρα τῷ Ζακχαίῳ λέγων· δέσποτα κύριε, ὁ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ θεοῦ, καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, διὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ προσκυνητοῦ, σὺ διαφύλαξον τοῦτον ποιμαίνειν τὸν λαόν σου, ὃν ἐξελέξω. καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἔφη· ὅσοι βαπτισθῆναι θέλετε, ἀπὸ τῆς αὔριον νηστεύειν ἄρξασθε. μετὰ δὲ τρεῖς ἡμέρας βαπτίζειν ἀρξάμενος, ἐμὲ Κλήμεντα φωνήσας καὶ Ἀκύλαν καὶ Νικήτην ἔφη.
