XXIII.—Peter Goes to Antioch.
Now, when ten days had passed away, there came
one of our people1545

the Recognitions. | from our father to
announce to us how our father stood forward publicly in
the shape of Simon, accusing him;1546

restored by means of the Recognitions. |
and how by praising Peter he had made the whole city of Antioch long
for him: and in consequence of this, all said that they were
eager to see him, and that there were some who were angry with him as
being Simon, on account of their surpassing affection for Peter, and
wished to lay hands on Faustus, believing he was Simon. Wherefore
he, fearing that he might be put to death, had sent to request Peter to
come immediately if he wished to meet him alive, and to appear at the
proper time to the city, when it was at the height of its longing for
him.1547

narrative in the Recognitions (x. 65) is the same up to this
point. But, instead of this somewhat abrupt conclusion of this
chapter, we find there several chapters (from the close of chap. 65 to
the end, chap. 72), which round out the story: the confession of
the father in his metamorphosis, his restoration, the Apostle’s
entry into Antioch, his miracles there, with the happy re-union of the
entire family of Clement as believers. It should be added, as
indicating the close relation of the two narratives, that the closing
sentence of the Homilies is found, with slight variations, in
Recognitions, x. 18.—R.] | Peter, hearing this, called the
multitude together to deliberate, and appointed one of his attendants
bishop; and having remained three days in Laodicea baptizing and
healing, he hastened to the neighboring city of Antioch.
Amen.
