Ἐχρῆν γὰρ τὴν παράδοξον ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ ἀποστόλου, ἔκ τε τῶν φρουρῶν, ἔκ τε τῶν ἁλύσεων, ἔκ τε τῶν ἐσφραγισμένων πυλῶν πιστωθέντα, καὶ ὡς οὐ δι' ἀμέλειάν τι συμβέβηκε τῶν αὐτοῦ τὴν ψυχὴν ἀνιώντων ἐπαισχυνθῆναι, ἐγκαλυφθῆναι καὶ εἰ μὴ διαρρήδην διὰ τὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων κατὰ τοῦ ἀποστόλου μανιῶδες θαυμάσαι τὸ τερατούργημα, ἀλλ' οὖν καθ' ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ τοῦτο ἐκπλαγέντα, τῆς τῶν φρουρούντων ἀποσχέσθαι σφαγῆς.
