φέρει δὲ δῆθεν, ἵνα τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χλεύην ἀνασώσῃ, εἰς παράστασιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι [τὸ] μετὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ παράπτωμα πάλιν ἐκαθαρίσθη καὶ λοιπὸν ἐν ἀθῴοις ὑπάρχει, μαρτυρίαν περὶ τούτου ψευδηγορῶν ὡς πιθανήν, δυναμένην ἐξαπατῆσαι οὐ τοῦτο δὲ σημαίνουσαν ὃ αὐτὸς λέγει· ὅτι, φησί, βαπτισθεὶς ὁ κύριος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἔλεγε τοῖς μαθηταῖς· »βάπτισμα ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη τετέλεκα αὐτο;« καὶ πάλιν »ποτήριον ἔχω πιεῖν, καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη πληρώσω αὐτό;« καὶ οὕτω τὸ διδόναι πλείω βαπτίσματα ἐδογμάτισεν.
