2. On one of the days, there being a rainstorm

‹ Section 1 Section 3 ›

,

He

went

out

of

the

house

where

His

mother

was

,

and

played

on

the

ground

where

the

waters

were

flowing

.

And

He

made

pools

,

and

brought

in

the

waters

,

and

the

pools

were

filled

with

water

.

Then

He

says

:

It

is

my

will

that

you

become

clear

and

excellent

waters

.

And

they

became

so

directly

.

And

a

certain

boy

,

the

son

of

Annas

the

scribe

,

came

past

,

and

with

a

willow

branch

which

he

was

carrying

threw

down

the

pools

,

and

the

water

flowed

out

.

And

Jesus

turning

,

said

to

him

:

O

impious

and

wicked

,

how

have

the

pools

wronged

thee

,

that

thou

hast

emptied

them

?

Thou

shalt

not

go

on

thy

way

,

and

thou

shalt

be

dried

up

like

the

branch

which

thou

art

carrying

.

And

as

he

went

along

,

in

a

short

time

he

fell

down

and

died

.

And

when

the

children

that

were

playing

with

him

saw

this

,

they

wondered

,

and

went

away

and

told

the

father

of

the

dead

boy

.

And

he

ran

and

found

his

child

dead

,

and

he

went

away

and

reproached

Joseph

.
