Ἐπεὶ δὲ καὶ ἐπισκώπτων, οἷά περ εἰώθει, εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν βλασφημῶν, Οὐδὲ ὁ Γαλιλαῖός σου Θεὸς, εἶπε, θεραπεύσει σε: ὑπολαβὼν Μάρις, Ἀλλ̓ ἐγὼ χάριν ἔχω τῷ Θεῷ μου τῆς τυφλώσεως, ἔφη, ἵνα μή σε θεάσωμαι τῆς εὐσεβείας ἐκπεπτωκότα. Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς μηδὲν ἀποκρινόμενος παρέδραμεν. Ὤιετο γὰρ ταύτῃ μᾶλλον Ἑλληνισμὸν κρατύναι, ἀνεξίκακον καὶ πρᾷον ἀδοκήτως τῷ πλήθει τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδεικνύς.
