Ἀλλὰ καὶ ὑπεσύροντο, φησίν, ἕτεροι. Ναὶ οὐδὲ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοῦτο ἀντιλέγω· καὶ γὰρ εἰκὸς πολλοὺς καὶ ὑποσύρεσθαι, γινομένων τούτων· ἀλλ', ὃ πολλάκις εἶπον καὶ λέγων οὐ παύσομαι, τοῦτο καὶ νῦν ἐρῶ· ἑαυτοῖς δίκαιοι τοῦτο ἂν εἶεν λογίζεσθαι οὗτοι, οὐ τῇ τῶν πραγμάτων φύσει. Καὶ γὰρ ἀπιὼν ὁ Χριστὸς ἐντεῦθεν ταύτην κατέλιπεν ἡμῖν τὴν κληρονομίαν λέγων· «Ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ θλῖψιν ἕξετε» καὶ «Ἐπὶ ἡγεμόνας καὶ βασιλέας ἀχθήσεσθε» καὶ, «Ἔσται καιρὸς ὅτε πᾶς ὁ ἀποκτείνας ὑμᾶς δόξει λατρείαν προσφέρειν τῷ Θεῷ». Ὥστε περιττῶς μοι τοὺς σκανδαλιζομένους πανταχοῦ προφέρεις· ἀεὶ γὰρ ταῦτα συνέβαινε.
