Ταῦτα τοῦ Πέτρου εἰπόντος ἀπεκρίθησαν Νικήτης καὶ Ἀκύλας εἰπόντες αὐτῷ· οὐ πάνυ ἡμᾶς, κύριε, λυπεῖ τοῦτο πράττειν διὰ τὸ ὑπὸ σοῦ κελεύεσθαι· πρῶτον μὲν ὅτι πάντα καλῶς νοεῖν τε καὶ συμβουλεύειν ἄξιος ὢν, ὑπὸ τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ προνοίας ἐξελέγεις. πρὸς τούτοις δὲ ὡς ἐπὶ πολὺ ἡμερῶν δύο ἀνάγκη τοῦ πράττειν τοῦτο ἀπολιμπανόμεθά σου· καὶ αὑταί δὲ πολλαὶ πρὸς τὸ μὴ σὲ τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν ὁρᾶν, πλὴν ὡς κελεύεις διὰ τὸ συμφέρον ποιεῖν οὐκ ἀντιλέγομεν. ὅμως ταῦτα εἰπόντες προῆξαν.
