若作和羹、爾為鹽梅；庶知如何因人而施教也。

即欲規人之過、亦須平心靜氣、委宛言之、庶幾天主啟牖其衷、俾得領悟大道、改過遷善、自拔於妖魔之羅網、而脫其拘係。

務宜鎮定爾心、毋庸事先考慮、何以應答、予當賜爾靈慧口才、非爾敵人所能駁覆。

彼既睹爾之貞靜敬恪、亦必欣然歸道矣。

命其弘宣於萬邦者也。斯玄妙乃無窮景福之寶庫、而光榮希望之靈淵；即寓爾心中之基督是也。

是在爾等篤守信德、確乎不拔、以保因聞福音而得之希望而已。此福音已布於普天生靈、而我葆樂竟得供役於斯。

是故吾人亟應以基督聖道之淺近原理為起點、而向前猛進、精益求精、以達純全之域也。

惟基督則為嗣子乃聖宅之主人也。聖宅者何、吾人是已；亦在吾人常存蓬勃之朝氣、與夫浩然之望德、堅忍不拔、莫負初心而已矣。

此聖教乃建立於永生期望之上、而永生乃真實無妄之天主所許於萬古之前、

為我之故、解爾至有司與君王之前、對若輩及萬民、為吾作證。爾被解時勿慮將如何言、當作何語；屆時必示爾所當言；蓋言者非爾、實爾父之神、藉爾而言也。

伯鐸祿及諸宗徒對曰：『順主而不徇人、理所當然。被爾懸木而殉之耶穌、已為吾祖之天主所復活；且以右手舉之、使為君王、使為救主、俾以悔悟之心、救拔之恩、賜於義塞之人、並以聖神錫諸信者、

以篤永望；此望也、爾等於福音之真傳中、夙已聞之、且為爾等預儲於天矣。

天主至誠無妄、又重之以一成不變之誓、與一成不變之諾、其所以慰藉吾人、安定吾人之心者、亦云備矣。此恩諾實為吾人停泊之所、前途遠大、希望無窮、穩而且固。此望也、乃吾人靈魂之鐵錨、而糺於閟帷深處者也。

伯鐸祿既感聖神、對曰：『民之有司及諸長老！爾曹若為吾儕施恩於殘廢之人、而欲一究其全復之由、則爾與義塞民當知納匝勒人耶穌基督、即爾曹所釘於十字架者、天主已賜以復活。此人之所以能獲康復而挺立於爾前者、賴耶穌之名也。耶穌者即「梓人所棄、竟成隅石」者是。舍彼而外、別無救主；普天之下、更無其他名義、可恃以獲救恩。』

庶在王前。申我諤諤。直陳正理。不致屈辱。

葆樂曰：『吾籍猶太、生於基利嘉笪爾數、非蕞爾小邑之公民也！請准我向眾訴說。』千總許之、葆樂登階、揮手、譁噪乃止；葆樂遂以希伯來語對眾發言。『父老兄弟！聽予向爾分辨！』眾聞其操希伯來語、益靜。葆樂繼曰：『予乃猶太人、生於基利嘉之笪爾數、長於是邑、曾列迦瑪理門墻、向承祖宗嚴法、虔事天主、亦猶諸君之在今日也。對此「新道、」予亦曾加以凌迫、無所不用其極、逮捕信男信女、下之於獄。此固司祭長與諸父老能為予作證者也。予且曾領彼等致眾兄弟之書、往大馬士革、欲將彼處奉此道者、縛解耶路撒冷處刑；

可頌哉、吾主耶穌基督之天主聖父也！天主大慈大悲、藉耶穌基督之復活、予吾人以新生、使吾人欣欣向榮、以望承其不朽不染不衰之洪基、斯則夙為爾曹預儲於天矣。

惟修養內心、以溫柔嫻靜之精神為飾、則可大可久、天主所珍也。

葆樂為之講述正義、貞節、及未來之審判。裴力斯恐懼曰：『汝今且去、有暇當再邀汝。』

夫爾等所呼為父者、乃大公無私、按各人行實而施黜陟者也。是宜戰戰兢兢以度羇旅塵世之日。
