ἡ μὲν γὰρ συνάντησις τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ πρώτῳ γεγένηται, μικροτέρῳ ὄντι τοῦ Πέτρου τῷ χρόνῳ τῆς ἡλικίας· ὕστερον δὲ πάλιν, ὅτε ἡ τελεία αὐτοῖς ἀπόταξις γεγένηται, ἀπὸ τοῦ Πέτρου γέγονεν. ἀφηγεῖτο γὰρ τοῦ ἰδίου ἀδελφοῦ καὶ ᾔδει ὁ κύριος τοῦτο, ὅτι θεός ἐστιν εἰδὼς τὰς κλίσεις τῶν καρδιῶν καὶ γινώσκων τίς ἐν πρώτοις ἔξιος τάττεσθαι, καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὸν Πέτρον ἀρχηγὸν εἶναι τῶν αὐτοῦ μαθητῶν, ὡς πανταχοῦ σαφῶς ἀποδέδεικται.
