«Μακάριοί ἐστε, ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ διώξωσι καὶ εἴπωσι πᾶν πονηρὸν ῥῆμα καθ' ὑμῶν ψευδόμενοι, ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ. Χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.» Ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦτον μετὰ πολλῆς τῆς ἀφθονίας ἐκαρπώσατο τὸν μακαρισμόν. Καὶ γὰρ διέβαλλον αὐτὸν οἱ παρόντες τότε, ἐλάττονα ὧν ἐπλημμέλησε λέγοντες αὐτὸν τετιμωρῆσθαι, μακρὰς κατηγορίας ἀποτείνοντες κατ' αὐτοῦ καὶ λόγους ψευδεῖς καὶ συκοφαντίας γέμοντας.
