12. Πλὴν ἐπὶ τὸ προκείμενον ἐλεύσομαι. ἀνενέγκαντος γὰρ τοῦ Λουκᾶ τὰς γενεαλογίας ἀπὸ τῶν κάτω ἐπὶ τὰ ἄνω καὶ φθάσαντος τὴν ἔμφασιν ποιήσασθαι τῆς ἅνωθεν τοῦ θεοῦ Δόγου παρουσίας ὁμοῦ τε συναφθέντος τῇ ἐνσάρκῳ αὐτοῦ οἰκονομίᾳ, ἵνα ἀποτρέψηται ἀπὸ τῶν πεπλανημένων τὴν πλάνην, οὑκ ἐνόησαν. διὸ ὕστερον ἀναγκάζει τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα τὸν Ἰωάννην, παραιτούμενον εὐαγγελίσασθαι δἰ εὐλάβειαν καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνην, ἐπὶ τῇ γηραλέᾳ αὐτοῦ ἠλικίᾳ μετὰ ἔτηἐνενήκοντα τῆς αὐτοῦ ζωῆς, μετὰ τὴν ἀπὸ τῆς Πάτμου ἐπάνοδον τὴν ἐπὶ Κλαυδίου γενομένην Καίσαρος καὶ μετὰ ἱκανὰ ἔτη τοῦ διατρῖψαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς Ἀσίας, [ἀναγκάζεται] ἐκθέσθαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον.
