and

a

boy

ran

up

against

Him

,

and

struck

His

shoulder

.

And

Jesus

was

angry

,

and

said

to

him

:

Thou

shalt

not

go

back

the

way

thou

camest

.

And

immediately

he

fell

down

dead

.

And

some

who

saw

what

had

taken

place

,

said

:

Whence

was

this

child

begotten

,

that

every

word

of

his

is

certainly

accomplished

?

And

the

parents

of

the

dead

boy

went

away

to

Joseph

,

and

blamed

him

,

saying

:

Since

thou

hast

such

a

child

,

it

is

impossible

for

thee

to

live

with

us

in

the

village

;

or

else

teach

him

to

bless

,

and

not

to

curse

:

for

he

is

killing

our

children

.
