Καὶ ὁ Πέτρος ἔφη· εἰ οὖν τῶν γραφῶν ἅ μέν ἐστιν ἀληθῆ, ἅ δὲ ψευδῆ, εὐλόγως ὁ διδάσκαλος ἡμῶν ἔλεγεν· γίνεσθε τραπεζῖται δόκιμοι· ὡς τῶν ἐν ταῖς γραφαῖς τινῶν μὲν δοκίμων ὄντων λόγων, τινῶν δὲ κιβδήλων. καὶ τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ψευδῶν γραφῶν πλανωμένοις οἰκείως τῆς πλάνης ἐξέφηνε τὴν αἰτίαν λέγων· διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰ ἀληθῆ τῶν γραφῶν· οὗ εἵνεκεν ἀγνοεῖτε καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ. κᾀγὼ ἔφην· πάνυ καλῶς.
