Καὶ τό τε Ἐξηράνθη ὡς ὄσταακον ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου κεκόλληται τῷ λάρυγγί μου, ὁμοίως τῶν ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ μελλόντων γίνεσθαι κατὰ τὸ τοῦ πατρὸς θέλημα προαγγελία ἦν. Ἡ γὰρ τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ αὐτοῦ λόγου δύναμις, δι᾿ ἦς [fol. 155] ἀεὶ ἤλεγχε τοὺς συζητοῦντας αὐτῷ Φαρισαίους καὶ γραμματεῖς καὶ ἁπλῶς τοὺς ἐν τῷ γένει ὑμῶν διδασκάλους, ἐποχὴν ἔσχε δίκην πολυΰδρου καὶ ἰσχυρᾶς πηγῆς, ἦς τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπεστράφη, σιγήσαντος αὐτοῦ καὶ μηκέτι ἐπὶ Πιλάτου ἀποκρίνασθαι μηδὲν μηδενὶ βουλομένου, ὡς ἐν τοῖς ἀπομνημονεύμασι τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ δεδήλωται [cf. MT., XXVII, 13-14; MC., XV, 4-5; LUC, XXIII, 9], ὅπως καὶ τὸ διὰ Ἡσαΐου εἰρημένον καρπὸν ἐνεργῆ ἔχῃ, ὅπου εἴρηται· Κύριος δίδωσί μοι γλῶσσαν τοῦ γνῶναι ἡνίκα με δεῖ εἰπεῖν λόγον [Is., L, 4].
