但有一事、予可自白：即彼等所稱為異端之道、予確以斯道昭事吾祖之天主、且篤信律法及先知書中所載之一切也。

但有一件事，我向你承认，就是他们所称为异端的道，我正按着那道侍奉我祖宗的神，又信合乎律法的和先知书上一切所记载的，

但有一件事我向你承认，就是我正按着他们所称为异端的道事奉我祖宗的上帝，又信合乎律法和先知书上所记载的一切。

但有一件事我向你承认，就是我正按着他们所称为异端的道事奉我祖宗的神，又信合乎律法和先知书上所记载的一切。

但有一点我必须承认，就是我依循他们称之为异端的道事奉我们祖先的上帝，我也相信律法书和先知书的一切记载，

但有一件事我要向你承认，他们所称为异端的这道，我正是根据这道来敬拜我祖先的神的。一切律法和先知所记的，我都相信。

不过这一点我向您承认：我是按照他们称为‘异端’的这道，如此事奉我先祖的神，因为我相信一切合乎律法书和先知书上所记载的事；

但有一件事，我向你承認，就是他們所稱為異端的道，我正按着那道事奉我祖宗的神，又信合乎律法的和先知書上一切所記載的，

但有一件事我要向你承認，他們所稱為異端的這道，我正是根據這道來敬拜我祖先的神的。一切律法和先知所記的，我都相信。

但這一點、我倒向大人承認，就是：我正是循着他們之所謂異端的這道路、這樣事奉祖宗的上帝，相信律法中和神言人們書上所記載的一切。

不過這一點我向您承認：我是按照他們稱為『異端』的這道，如此事奉我先祖的神，因為我相信一切合乎律法書和先知書上所記載的事；

惟此一事、我於爾承之、即彼所謂旁門之道、我依之、奉事我列祖之上帝、悉信合於律法、及先知書所載者、

我有一言、可明告爾、即彼所謂異端者、我奉之、崇事列祖之上帝、自信律法與先知所載、

惟有一事、我承認於爾前、即彼所謂異道者、我循之而崇事我列祖之天主、惟信律法與先知之所載、

However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,

It is true that I worship the God of our people. I am a follower of the Way of Jesus. Those bringing charges against me call it a cult. I believe everything that is in keeping with the Law. I believe everything that is in keeping with what is written in the Prophets.

But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,

“ But I admit that I follow the Way, which they call a cult. I worship the God of our ancestors, and I firmly believe the Jewish law and everything written in the prophets.

But I admit this to you: I worship the God of my ancestors according to the Way, which they call a sect, believing everything that is in accordance with the law and written in the prophets.

But I confess this to you, that in accordance with the Way, which they call a sect, I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and is written in the Prophets;

But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

But I confess this to you: I worship my fathers’ God according to the Way, which they call a sect, believing all the things that are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

依吾等所見、此人實為蝥賊、煽動普天下猶太人作亂、又係納匝勒異端之一首領、

然予托天主佑、至今猶屹立無恙、向天下生靈、無分貴賤大小、而作證焉。所陳者莫非古先知與摩西預言必成之事、

求行文大馬士革各會堂、遇有此道中人、不論男女、盡縛解耶路撒冷。

亞伯漢意灑格雅各伯之天主、吾列祖之天主、厥子耶穌、已蒙榮寵。此即爾曹曩日執交比辣多、比辣多意欲釋之、

彼等既與葆樂約期、即有多人來其寓所、葆樂自朝至暮向彼等證明天國之道、關於耶穌之事、引徵摩西之律與先知書、以詳說之。

亞基帕王、汝信先知乎？予固知汝信之也。』

今天主之正義、初不因法而彰；法與先知、不過為斯義之佐證。

予承祖宗遺風、一秉純潔之心、昭事天主；實天主之洪恩、有以致之；感激之情、充溢五內。予又感謝天主、使予能為汝祈禱、晝夜不輟；

先知夙言、今乃見符；

於是始自摩西以至歷代先知、凡經中之有關於己者、悉為詳釋。

「予乃汝列祖之天主、亞伯漢之天主、意灑格之天主、雅各伯之天主。」摩西惶怖戰慄、不敢仰視。

今予立此而受審者、正以期望天主所許於吾祖之諾言。

律法與先知至如望而集其成、自如望而後、天主之國已宣揚於世。惟勉強力行者、始克進焉。

裴力斯本詳知此道、乃托故延宕、謂猶太人曰：『俟千總呂西亞至、再訊。』

吾乃俯伏而拜之、彼止之曰：「慎莫為此！我與爾及信奉耶穌妙證之眾兄弟、皆屬同寅；爾當敬拜天主耳。蓋耶穌之妙證、實為一切預言之靈樞。」

庶在王前。申我諤諤。直陳正理。不致屈辱。

渠又曰：「吾祖之天主已賜汝恩簡、使汝得明厥旨獲見聖者、親聞其音；

蓋分派立異之事、在所不免；偽者既起、則真者彌著矣。

然適如昔日之有偽先知起自民間、將來爾中亦必有荒誕之師、潛播異端、陷溺人心、乃至忘恩負義、否認其贖身之主、於以自速其亡。且必有多人與之推波助瀾、同流合污、以致真諦妙道、因斯輩之故、為世詬病。

摩西有言、「上主必自爾中、立一先知、正如立吾；凡彼所示、爾當信從不信、則必滅自人群也。」自撒母耳以至諸先知所作預言、亦未嘗不預報斯日。

亞伯漢曰：「若輩自有摩西及先知、可資遵循。」

此二誡者、實為所有律法及先知書之綱領也。』

斐理伯遇納大那、告之曰：『摩西書及諸先知所預言者、我儕今已遇之、即若瑟之子、納匝勒人耶穌是已。』

拜偶像、行巫術、仇恨爭競、好勝忿怒朋比釁隙、

眾先知亦為之證。凡信之者、必得賴其名而獲赦焉。』

誦律法及先知書訓；司會者使人請曰：『兄弟如有勉眾之詞、願聞其說。』

被爾懸木而殉之耶穌、已為吾祖之天主所復活；

人有分門結黨、經一再勸戒而不悛者、絕之可也，

耶穌又謂諸徒曰：『曩日與爾同處、予曾明言、摩西律先知書與聖詠中所載予事、悉當應驗。』

蓋基督神靈、啟迪先知之衷、故彼等能逆知基督之先苦後樂、與夫其事之成於何時何世。

凡認我於人前者、我亦認之於天父之前、

故凡爾欲人施諸己者、亦宜施之於人。律法先知、盡於斯矣。

惟尚有人頑梗難化、終不之信、且當眾詆毀聖道；葆樂捨之、並命信徒亦與之絕；而日於諦郎尼書院辯難析疑。

爾等窮索諸經、意欲藉獲永生、第諸經莫非為予作證、而爾等獨不願歸予、以獲生命！予非求榮於人也；惟予洞悉爾等、知爾心中不存愛主之情也。今予奉吾父之名而來、而爾等不納；倘另有奉己命而來者、爾等將納之。蓋爾等惟互相求榮、不求惟天主能賜之榮、又安能信道乎？勿以為予將訟爾於父、訟爾者固另有人在、即爾所信賴之摩西是已。蓋爾苟能真信摩西、則亦當信予矣。無他、摩西所書、即指予也。今爾既不信摩西之書、則又焉能信予哉。』

其時、為斯道故、掀起軒然大波。
