Ὑπεραλγήσας δὲ ὁ θεῖος Κλήμης τῆς γυνακὸς καὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἱκέτης γίνεται τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ μετὰ δακρύων ἐδεῖτο, καὶ περιπαθεῖς ἐξέτεινε τὰς δεήσεις κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστὲ, λέγων, ὁ τὰς τῶν οὐρανῶν κλεῖς δεδωκὼς τῷ ἀποστόλῳ σου Πέτρῳ, καὶ ἅπερ ἀνοίξεις ἀνέῳκται εἰπὼν, καὶ ἅπερ ἂν κλείσῃς κέκλεισται, αὐτὸς καὶ τοὺς πεπηρωμένους ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦδε καὶ τὰ ὦτα διάνοιξον, ὅτι σὸν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ ἅπερ ἂν αἰτήσητε πιστεύοντες, λήψεσθε, καὶ αὕτη σου ἡ ἐπαγγελία διαμένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. ταῦτα τοῦ πατριάρχου προσευξαμένου καὶ τῶν παρόντων τὸ ἀμὴν ἐπειπόντων, εὐθέως ἡ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ τῶν ὤτων πήρωσις διελέλυτο. καὶ ὁ Σισίννιος καθάπερ ἐξ ὕπνου διαναστὰς καὶ τὸν μακάριον Κλήμεντα μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς ἑστῶτα ἰδὼν κακὰς ὁ ἀνόητος τῷ ἁγίῳ χάριτας ἀπεδίδου. καὶ κατασχεῖν εὐθέως τὸν πατριάρχην τοῖς οἰκέταις παρεκελεύετο τοῦ δίκας ὑποσχεῖν αὐτὸν τῆς πηρώσεως. ᾤετο γάρ τινα γοητείαν εἶναι, ὅτι καὶ πηρωθῆναι πρότερον αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀναβλέψαι καὶ ἀκοῦσαι πάλιν ἐποίησεν.
