Ταῦτα ὁ Σίμων ἀκούσας ἔφη· ἐπειδὴ καὶ τέρατα διδόντι προφήτῃ, ἄλλον δὲ θεὸν δεῖν πιστεύειν, μετὰ τοῦ εἰδέναι ὅτι καὶ θάνατον ὀφείλει, οὐκοῦν καὶ ὁ διδάσκαλός σου σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα δεδωκὼς εὐλόγως ἀνῃρέθη. καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίθη· ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν οὔτε θεοὺς εἶναι ἐφθέγξατο παρὰ τὸν κτίσαντα τὰ πάντα, οὔτε αὐτὸν θεὸν εἶναι ἀνηγόρευσεν, υἱὸν δὲ Θεοῦ τοῦ τὰ πάντα διακοσμήσαντος τὸν εἰπόντα αὐτὸν εὐλόγως ἐμακάρισεν. καὶ ὁ Σίμων ἀπεκρίνατο· οὐ δοκεῖ σοι οὖν τὸν ἀπὸ Θεοῦ θεὸν εἶναι; καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἔφη· πῶς τοῦτο εἶναι δύναται, φράσον ἡμῖν. τοῦτο γὰρ ἡμεῖς εἰπεῖν σοι οὐ δυνάμεθα, ὅτι μὴ ἠκούσαμεν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
