Ndipo Danieli, aliyeitwa jina lake Belteshaza, akashangaa kwa muda, na fikira zake zikamfadhaisha. Mfalme akajibu akasema, Ee Belteshaza, ndoto ile isikufadhaishe wala tafsiri yake. Belteshaza akajibu, akasema, Bwana wangu, ndoto hii iwapate wao wakuchukiao, na tafsiri yake iwapate adui zako.

Na yeye Simoni mwenyewe aliamini akabatizwa, akashikamana na Filipo; akashangaa alipoziona ishara na miujiza mikubwa inayotendeka.
