Ἐμοῦ δὲ εἰπόντος, ἤθελόν τινι συντυχεῖν τῶν ἑωρακότων αὐτόν, εὐθὺς ἦγόν με λέγοντες, ἔστι τις ἐνταῦθα, οὐ μόνον ἱστορήσας αὐτὸν ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς ἐκεῖθεν γῆς ὑπάρχων, ἀνὴρ Ἑβραῖος, ὀνόματι Βαρνάβας, ὃς καὶ ἕνα τῶν αὐτοῦ μαθητῶν ἑαυτὸν εἶναι λέγει, καὶ ἐνταῦθά που καθεζόμενος τῆς ἐκείνου ὑποσχέσεως τοὺς λόγους τοῖς βουλομένοις ἑτοίμως λέγει. καὶ δὴ συνῆλθον αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐλθὼν, σὺν τῷ παρεστῶτι ὄχλῳ ἔστην ἐπακούων τῶν λόγων, καὶ συνενόεν τἀληθῆ οὐ διαλεκτικῇ τέχνῃ λέγοντα, ἀλλ᾽ ἀκάκως καὶ ἀπαρασκευάστως ἐκτιθέμενον ἅ τε ἤκουσεν καὶ ἑώρακεν τὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φανούντα υἱὸν πεποιηκέναι τε καὶ εἰρηκέναι· πολλοὺς δὲ μάρτυρας τῶν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ λεγομένων θαυμασίων τε καὶ λόγων, καὶ ἐξ αὐτοῦ τοῦ παρεστῶτος ὄχλου, παρεῖχεν.
