Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀκούων ταῦτα ὑπὸ συμπαθείας ἐδὰκρυεν καὶ εὐθέως τοῖς συνοῦσι γνησίοις ἔφη· ταῦτα εἴ τις πέπονθεν ἐν θεοσεβείᾳ, οἷα ὁ τούτου πατὴρ, εὐθέως τῷ τῆς θεοσεβείας λόγῳ τὴν αἰτίαν προσῆπτεν ἐπιγράφων ἢ τῷ πονηρῷ. οὕτω καὶ τοῖς ταλαιπώροις ἔθνεσι συμβαίνει πάσχειν, καὶ ἀγνοοῦμεν οἱ θεοσεβεῖς. ταλαιπώρους δὲ αὐτοὺς εὐλόγως εἴρηκα, ὅτι ἐνταῦθα ἀλῶνται, καὶ τῆς ἐκεῖ ἐλπίδος οὐ τυγχάνουσιυ. οἱ γὰρ ἐν θεοσεβείᾳ πάσχοντες τὰ θλιβερὰ εἰς ἔκπραξιν παραπτωμάτων πάσχουσιν.
