‹ Section 8 Section 10 ›

upper

room

of

a

certain

house

,

and

one

of

the

children

that

were

playing

with

Him

fell

down

from

the

house

,

and

was

killed

.

And

,

when

the

other

children

saw

this

,

they

ran

away

,

and

Jesus

alone

stood

still

.

And

the

parents

of

the

dead

child

coming

,

reproached

…

and

they

threatened

Him

.

And

Jesus

leaped

down

from

the

roof

,

and

stood

beside

the

body

of

the

child

,

and

cried

with

a

loud

voice

,

and

said

:

Zeno

—

for

that

was

his

name

—

stand

up

,

and

tell

me

;

did

I

throw

thee

down

?

And

he

stood

up

immediately

,

and

said

:

Certainly

not

,

my

lord

;

thou

didst

not

throw

me

down

,

but

hast

raised

me

up

.

And

those

that

saw

this

were

struck

with

astonishment

.

And

the

child’s

parents

glorified

God

on

account

of

the

miracle

that

had

happened

,

and

adored

Jesus

.
