Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ πατὴρ δημοσίᾳ ὡς ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ Σίμωνος καὶ Πέτρον εύλογήσας τὴν πᾶσαν Ἀντιοχέων πόλιν εἰς τὸν ἐκείνου πόθον μετέθηκε, καὶ πάντες ἐπιθυμεῖν αὐτοῦ δεινῶς ἔλεγον· ἔνιοι δὲ καὶ χαλεπαίνοντες αὐτῷ ἦσαν δῆθεν, οἷά περ αὐτῷ ἐκείνῳ Σίμωνι ὄντι, διὰ τὸ ὑπερβάλλον τῆς περὶ τὸν Πέτρον στοργῆς, καὶ χεῖρας ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπεχείρουν. καὶ ὃς μὴ παρ’ αὐτῶν ἀναιρεσθῇ δεδοικὼς, ἐξαυτῆς ἐλθεῖν πέμψας ἠξίου τὸν Πέτρον, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἐπικαταλάβῃ ζῶντα, καὶ ἀκμαζούσῃ τῷ πρὸς αὐτὸν πόθῳ τῇ πόλει εὐκαίρως ἐπιφανῇ. Πέτρος δὲ τούτων ἀκούσας πρὸς τὸ ἐκκλησιάζειν πλείστους ἀγαγὼν, ἐπίσκοπόν τε καταστήσας, καὶ ἰασάμενος πολλοὺς καὶ βαπτίσας, ἡμέρας ἐπιμείνας τρεῖς τῇ Λαοδικείᾳ ἐπὶ τὸν πλησίον ὁρμήσειν Ἀντιόχειαν ἔσπευσε.
