8. And after these things, on one of the days

‹ Section 7 Section 9 ›

Jesus

was

playing

with

other

children

on

the

roof

of

a

house

.

And

one

boy

was

pushed

by

another

,

and

hurled

down

upon

the

ground

,

and

he

died

.

And

seeing

this

,

the

boys

that

were

playing

with

him

ran

away

;

and

Jesus

only

was

left

standing

upon

the

roof

from

which

the

boy

had

been

hurled

down

.

And

when

the

news

was

brought

to

the

parents

of

the

dead

boy

,

they

ran

weeping

;

and

finding

their

boy

lying

dead

upon

the

ground

,

and

Jesus

standing

above

,

they

supposed

that

their

boy

had

been

thrown

down

by

Him

;

and

fixing

their

eyes

upon

Him

,

they

reviled

Him

.

And

seeing

this

,

Jesus

directly

came

down

from

the

roof

,

and

stood

at

the

head

of

the

dead

body

,

and

says

to

him

:

Zeno

,

did

I

throw

thee

down

?

Stand

up

,

and

tell

us

.

For

this

was

the

name

of

the

boy

.

And

at

the

word

the

boy

stood

up

and

adored

Jesus

,

and

said

:

My

lord

,

thou

didst

not

throw

me

down

,

but

thou

hast

brought

me

to

life

when

I

was

dead

.
