‹ Section 43 Section 45 ›

again

with

the

boys

playing

on

the

roof

of

a

house

,

one

of

the

boys

fell

down

from

above

,

and

immediately

expired

.

And

the

rest

of

the

boys

fled

in

all

directions

,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

was

left

alone

on

the

roof

.

And

the

relations

of

the

boy

came

up

and

said

to

the

Lord

Jesus

:

It

was

thou

who

didst

throw

our

son

headlong

from

the

roof

.

And

when

He

denied

it

,

they

cried

out

,

saying

:

Our

son

is

dead

,

and

here

is

he

who

has

killed

him

.

And

the

Lord

Jesus

said

to

them

:

Do

not

bring

an

evil

report

against

me

;

but

if

you

do

not

believe

me

,

come

and

let

us

ask

the

boy

himself

,

that

he

may

bring

the

truth

to

light

.

Then

the

Lord

Jesus

went

down

,

and

standing

over

the

dead

body

,

said

,

with

a

loud

voice

:

Zeno

,

Zeno

,

who

threw

thee

down

from

the

roof

?

Then

the

dead

boy

answered

and

said

:

My

lord

,

it

was

not

thou

who

didst

throw

me

down

,

but

such

a

one

cast

me

down

from

it

.

And

when

the

Lord

commanded

those

who

were

standing

by

to

attend

to

His

words

,

all

who

were

present

praised

God

for

this

miracle

.
