Chapter II.—How a Schoolmaster Thrust Him Out of the City.

And as Jesus was walking with Mary His mother through the middle

‹ Chapter 1 Chapter 3 ›

of

the

city

market

-

place

,

He

looked

and

saw

a

schoolmaster

teaching

his

scholars

.

And

behold

twelve

sparrows

that

were

quarrelling

fell

over

the

wall

into

the

bosom

of

that

schoolmaster

,

who

was

teaching

the

boys

.

And

seeing

this

,

Jesus

was

very

much

amused

,

and

stood

still

.

And

when

that

teacher

saw

Him

making

merry

,

he

said

to

his

scholars

with

great

fury

:

Go

and

bring

him

to

me

.

And

when

they

had

carried

Him

to

the

master

,

he

seized

Him

by

the

ear

,

and

said

:

What

didst

thou

see

,

to

amuse

thee

so

much

?

And

He

said

to

him

:

Master

,

see

my

hand

full

of

wheat

.

I

showed

it

to

them

,

and

scattered

the

wheat

among

them

,

and

they

carry

it

out

of

the

middle

of

the

street

where

they

are

in

danger

;

and

on

this

account

they

fought

among

themselves

to

divide

the

wheat

.

And

Jesus

did

not

pass

from

the

place

until

it

was

accomplished

.

And

this

being

done

,

the

master

began

to

thrust

Him

out

of

the

city

,

along

with

His

mother

.
