‹ Section 45 Section 47 ›

Jesus

was

with

the

boys

at

a

stream

of

water

,

and

they

had

again

made

little

fish

-

ponds

.

And

the

Lord

Jesus

had

made

twelve

sparrows

,

and

had

arranged

them

round

His

fish

-

pond

,

three

on

each

side

.

And

it

was

the

Sabbath

-

day

.

Wherefore

a

Jew

,

the

son

of

Hanan

,

coming

up

,

and

seeing

them

thus

engaged

,

said

in

anger

and

great

indignation

:

Do

you

make

figures

of

clay

on

the

Sabbath

-

day

?

And

he

ran

quickly

,

and

destroyed

their

fish

-

ponds

.

But

when

the

Lord

Jesus

clapped

His

hands

over

the

sparrows

which

He

had

made

,

they

flew

away

chirping

.
