45 Ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἄνδρες πιστεύσατε ὅτι ὑμῶν ἕνεκεν ἐν τῇ Ἐφεσίων πόλει ἔμεινα, τὴν ὁρμὴν εἰς Σμύρνην νην ἐσχηκὼς καὶ τὰς λοιπὰς πόλεις, ὅπως καὶ οἱ ἐκεῖ δοῦλοι τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐπιστρέψουσι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἀλλʼ ἐπειδὴ ἀνισταμένην μηδέπω ἐν ὑμῖν τελείως ἀναπεπαυμένος, μεμένηκα εὐχόμενός
μου τῷ θεῷ, καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν τότε ἐξελθεῖν Ἐφέσου ὁπόταν ὑμᾶς στηρίξω· ὃ καὶ ἰδὼν γεγονὼς καὶ ἔτι μᾶλλον γινόμενος οὐκ ἀπολειφθήσομαι ὑμῶν μέχρις ἂν καθάπερ παῖδας τοῦ τῆς τροφοῦ γάλακτος ἀποσπάσω καὶ ἐπὶ στερεὰν πέτραν καταστήσω.

[45] And John said to them: Men (of Ephesus), believe that for your sakes I have continued in Ephesus, and have put off my journey unto Smyrna and to the rest of the cities, that there also the servants of Christ may turn to him. But since I am not yet perfectly assured concerning you, I have continued praying to my God and beseeching him that I should then depart from Ephesus when I have confirmed you in the faith: and whereas I see that this is come to pass and yet more is being fulfilled, I will not leave you until I have weaned you like children from the nurse’s milk, and have set you upon a firm rock.
