Καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ δεικνὺς πῶς αὐτῷ τὸ πρᾶγμα περισπούδαστον ἦν καὶ πῶς σφόδρα ἤρα τοῦ πάθους, τὸν πρῶτον τῶν ἀποστόλων, τὴν κρηπῖδα τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, τὸν κορυφαῖον τοῦ χοροῦ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ ταῦτα ἐξ ἀγνοίας εἰπόντα «Ἵλεώς σοι, Κύριε, οὐ μὴ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο», ἄκουσον τί ἐκάλεσεν· «Ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, Σατανᾶ, σκάνδαλόν μου εἶ»· τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῆς ὕβρεώς τε καὶ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως τὴν πολλὴν περὶ τὸ πρᾶγμα αὐτοῦ σπουδὴν ἐνδεικνύμενος.
