於是他們唆使眾人，說：“我們聽過他說謗瀆摩西和神的話。”

於是他們教唆人說：『我們曾聽見他說了謗讟摩西和上帝的話。』

於是他們暗中唆使人說：「我們聽過這個人針對摩西和神說褻瀆的話語。」

遂賄人使言曰、我儕曾聞其有謗凟摩西及上帝之言、

乃賄人使流言曰、我聞此人、僭妄摩西及上帝、

乃賄人使流言云、我聞此人出言褻瀆摩西及天主、

司祭以及公會、方搜覓偽證、以控耶穌、而置之死。其時雖有多人加以偽證、然終難得逞。繼有二人前進曰：

彼之所以為此者、祇緣未識聖父、亦未識予。

曰：是不啻謂吾人當種惡因、以求善果、有是理乎？然誣吾儕持此說者、實大有人在；吾知此輩必受審判也。

且求其恩准、將葆樂移提至耶路撒冷；將埋伏途中而殺之。

眾聞之、無不歸榮天主、謂葆樂曰：『爾觀猶太人之信教者盈千累萬、篤守摩西律法；惟彼等聞人言爾於寄居異邦之猶太人、嘗勸其背棄摩西、勿為其子行割禮、亦勿遵循規律、眾聞爾至、將何以處？

破曉、猶太人結黨立誓曰：『不殺葆樂、誓不朝食！』計同盟者四十餘人；彼等往見司祭長與長老曰：『吾儕矢誓、不殺葆樂、決不進食；今請爾等偕公會同人通知千總、令解葆樂於爾處、佯言欲詳究其事；吾儕已準備就緒、將要而殺之。』

司祭長與耆老集議、賂卒多金曰：『當告民眾曰：「夜間吾儕方睡、其徒盜之以去。」倘事聞方伯、予等當為緩頰、保爾無事。』守卒受金、遵囑而行。於是斯言流傳猶太人中、至今猶然。

葆樂既至、凡自耶路撒冷而來之猶太人環立、控訴多端、且屬重大事項、而悉不能證實。

設證以誣之曰：『律法與聖所、時為所謗；

我本為褻瀆天主、摧殘教會、倨傲無禮之人、而竟蒙天主之矜憐者、蓋以我當時未有信德、盲目而行耳。

猶太人拒而誚之；葆樂拂衣曰：『爾罪自承、予也何咎！自此吾適異邦矣！』

又謂義塞人曰：「天主將於爾兄弟中、立一先知、正如立我者、」即此摩西也。昔於曠野集會之中、往來於天神與吾列祖之間、天神與語於西乃山、領受生命之道、而傳之吾人者、即此摩西也。詎知我列祖非惟不願聽從、反加以背棄、而其心且戀念埃及不置。

且呼曰：『義塞人當起而相助！是即隨處教人蹂躪吾民、吾律及斯殿者也。今且引希臘人入殿、污斯聖所！』。

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。』

蓋摩西所授者律法耳、至妙寵真諦、則由耶穌基督而溥施。

耶穌之盡忠於天主、猶摩西之盡忠於天主之第宅；而耶穌之貴於摩西亦猶建造第宅者之貴於第宅。蓋建造第宅者、人也、而建造宇宙萬有者、天主也。且摩西不過天主全宅中之一忠僕、而傳達天主之聖諭者也；

吾知天主曾與摩西語矣；若夫斯人、吾實不知其所自？』

越五日、大司祭亞拿尼亞與數長老及律師名帖士羅者詣總督前、控葆樂。葆樂既被提審、帖士羅控之曰、『斐力斯閣下、吾人賴爾獲享太平、時措之宜、弊絕風清、庶績咸熙、莫不感戴。茲以事上瀆清聽、庸敢多言、容略陳詞、尚祈諒察。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、意圖褻瀆聖殿。故吾儕拘之。

蓋摩西之書、已徧傳諸邑、每值禮日誦之會堂由來舊矣。』

且屢於會堂中加以楚撻、意欲迫其發褻瀆之語；恨之既甚、逐之外邑。

猶太人應曰：『吾人擊汝、非為汝所行之善工、祇因僭妄耳。汝亦人也、乃竟自充天主！』耶穌答曰：『爾之律法不云乎：「吾稱爾曹為神。」夫承天主聖言者、且得稱為神、而經文固不可廢也；況在父之所特聖、而遣入人世者、自稱為天主之子、而爾曹遂謂其僭妄乎？
