followed

him

.

And

when

began

to

sow

,

Jesus

stretched

out

His

hand

,

and

took

as

much

wheat

as

He

could

hold

in

His

fist

,

and

scattered

it

.

Joseph

therefore

came

at

reaping

-

time

to

reap

his

harvest

.

Jesus

came

also

,

and

collected

the

ears

which

He

had

scattered

,

and

they

made

a

hundred

pecks

of

the

best

grain

;

and

he

called

the

poor

,

and

the

widows

,

and

the

orphans

,

and

distributed

to

them

the

wheat

which

He

had

made

.

Joseph

also

took

a

little

of

the

same

wheat

,

for

the

blessing

of

Jesus

to

his

house

.
