Ταῦτά μου λέγοντος καὶ τὰ τούτος ἀκόλουθα, πολὺς τῶν ὄχλων ἐγένετο θρύλλος. καὶ οἱ μὲν ὡς τὸν Βαρνάβαν ἐλεοῦντες συνῇράν μοι, οἱ δὲ ἠλίθιοι ὄντες δεινῶς κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἔβρυχον τοὺς ὀδόντας. ἐπεὶ δὲ ἤδη καὶ ἡ ἑσπέρα κατέλαβε, τῆς χερὸς λαβὼν τὸν Βαρνάβαν καὶ μὴ βουλόμενον βίᾳ εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἦγον οἰκίαν, ἔνθα καὶ μένειν αὐτὸν ἐποίησα, ἵνα μήτις αὐτῷ χεῖρας ἐπιβάλῃ. καὶ ἡμέρας ὀλίγας σὺν ἐμοὶ δατρίψας καὶ τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ λόγου βραχέα με κατήχησε. σπεύδειν γὰρ ἔλεγεν εἰς Ἰουδαίαν ἀφικέσθαι τῆς ἑορτῆς χάριν, ὡς καὶ τοῦ λοιποῦ συνεῖναι τοῖς αὐτοῦ ὁμοεθνέσιν ἐθέλων.
