40 Οἱ δὲ πεπειραμένοι αὐτοῦ πάλαι καὶ θεασάμενοι νεκροὺς ἐγηγερμένους ἐβόων· Μὴ οὕτως ἀνέλῃς ἡμᾶς, παρακαλοῦμέν σε Ἰωάννη· ἐπιστάμεθα οὖν ὅτι δύνῃ. Καὶ ὁ Ἰωάννης
ἔφη αὐτοῖς· Εὶ οὖν μὴ θέλετε ὑμεῖς ἀποθανεῖν, ἐλεγχθήτω τὸ θρήσκευμα ὑμῶν καὶ ἐφʼ ᾧ ἐλέγχετε, ὅπως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀποστήσησθε τῆς παλαιᾶς ὑμῶν πλάνης. νῦν γὰρ μάλιστα ἢ αὐτοὶ ἐπιστρέψατε διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ μου ἢ αὐτὸς ἀποθανοῦμαι διὰ τῆς θεᾶς ὑμῶν· εὔξομαι γὰρ ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν παρακαλέσας
μου τὸν θεὸν ἐλεηθῆναι ὑμᾶς.

[40] But they who had beforetime made trial of him and had seen dead men raised up, cried out: Slay us not so, we beseech thee, John. We know that thou canst do it. And John said to them: If then ye desire not to die, let that which ye worship be confounded, and wherefore it is confounded, that ye also may depart from your ancient error. For now is it time that either ye be converted by my God, or I myself die by your goddess; for I will pray in your presence and entreat my God that mercy be shown unto you.
