Καὶ ὁ Πέτρος· ὅτι μέμικται τὰ ἀληθῆ τοῖς ψευδέσιν, μέμνημαί που αὐτὸν αἰτιώμενον τοὺς Σαδδουκαίους εἰπεῖν· διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰ ἀληθῆ τῶν γραφῶν, τοῦ εἵνεκεν ἀγνοεῖτε τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ. εἰ δὲ τὰ ἀληθῆ τῶν γραφῶν ἀγνοεῖν αὐτοὺς ὑπέβαλεν, δῆλον ὡς ὄντων ψευδῶν. ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ φῆναι· γίνεσθε τραπεζῖται δόκιμοι, ὡς δοκίμων καὶ κιβδήλων λόγων ὄντων. καὶ τῷ εἰπεῖν· διὰ τί οὐ νοεῖτε τὸ εὔλογον τῶν γραφῶν; βεβαιότερον τοῦ αὐθαιρέτως εὐγνωμονοῦντος τίθησιν τὸν νοῦν.
