Apocryphal books (New Testament)
11 And when the Lord Jesus
bade those who stood by to take
present praised God on account
of that miracle.
12 On a certain time the
Lady St. Mary had commanded
the Lord Jesus to fetch her some
water out of the well;
13 And when he had gone to
fetch the water, the pitcher, when
it was brought up full, brake;
14 But Jesus spreading his mantle
gathered up the water again,
and brought it in that to his
mother;
15 Who, being astonished at
this wonderful thing, laid up this,
and all the other things which she
had seen, in her memory.
16 Again on another day the
Lord Jesus was with some boys
by a river, and they drew water
out of the river by little channels,
and made little fish-pools.
17 But the Lord Jesus had
made twelve sparrows, and placed
them about his pool on each side,
three on a side.
18 But it was the Sabbath day,
and the son of Hanani a Jew came
by, and saw them making these
things, and said, Do ye thus make
figures of clay on the Sabbath?
And he ran to them, and broke
down their fish-pools.
19 But when the Lord Jesus
clapped his hands over the sparrows
which he had made, they fled away
chirping.
20 At length the son of Hanani
coming to the fish-pool of Jesus
to destroy it, the water vanished
away, and the Lord Jesus said to
him,
21 In like manner as this water
had vanished, so shall thy life
vanish; and presently the boy
died.
22 Another time, when the
Lord Jesus was coming home in
the evening with Joseph, he met
a boy, who ran so hard against
him, that he threw him down;
23 To whom the Lord Jesus
said, As thou hast thrown me
down, so shalt thou fall, nor ever
rise.
24 And that moment the boy
fell down and died.
CHAPTER XX.
4 Christ sent to school to Zaccheus to learn
his letters, and teaches Zaccheus.
13 Sent to another schoolmaster,
14 refuses to tell his letters, and the schoolmaster
going to whip him, his hand withers and he dies.
THERE was also at Jerusalem
one named Zaccheus, who
was a schoolmaster:
2 And he said to Joseph, Joseph,
why dost thou not send Jesus to me,
that he may learn his letters?
3 Joseph agreed, and told St. Mary;
4 So they brought him to that
master; who, as soon as he saw
him, wrote out an alphabet for him,
5 And he bade him say Aleph;
and when he had said Aleph, the
master bade him pronounce Beth.
6 Then the Lord Jesus said to
him, Tell me first the meaning of
the letter Aleph, and then I will
pronounce Beth.
7 And when the master threatened
to whip him, the Lord Jesus
explained to him the meaning of
the letters Aleph and Beth;
8 Also which were the straight
figures of the letters, which the
oblique, and what letters had
double figures; which had points,
and which had none; why one
letter went before another; and
many other things he began to tell
him, and explain, of which the
master himself had never heard,
nor read in any book.
