with

Joseph

;

and

he

took

a

willow

branch

,

and

let

out

the

waters

which

Jesus

had

collected

.

And

Jesus

,

seeing

what

was

done

,

was

angry

,

and

said

to

him

:

O

wicked

,

impious

,

and

foolish

!

what

harm

did

the

pools

and

the

waters

do

to

thee

?

Behold

,

even

now

thou

shalt

be

dried

up

like

a

tree

,

and

thou

shalt

not

bring

forth

either

leaves

,

or

root

,

or

fruit

.

And

straightway

that

boy

was

quite

dried

up

.

And

Jesus

departed

But

the

parents

of

the

boy

that

had

been

dried

up

took

him

up

,

bewailing

his

youth

,

and

brought

him

to

Joseph

,

and

reproached

him

because

,

said

they

,

thou

hast

such

a

child

doing

such

things

.
