‹ Section 10 Section 12 ›

Joseph

,

were

married

,

and

had

families

of

their

own

.

Both

the

daughters

were

likewise

married

,

and

lived

in

their

own

houses

.

So

there

remained

in

Joseph’s

house

,

Judas

and

James

the

Less

,

and

my

virgin

mother

.

I

moreover

dwelt

along

with

them

,

not

otherwise

than

if

I

had

been

one

of

his

sons

.

But

I

passed

all

my

life

without

fault

.

Mary

I

called

my

mother

,

and

Joseph

father

,

and

I

obeyed

them

in

all

that

they

said

;

nor

did

I

ever

contend

against

them

,

but

complied

with

their

commands

,

as

other

men

whom

earth

produces

are

wont

to

do

;

nor

did

I

at

any

time

arouse

their

anger

,

or

give

any

word

or

answer

in

opposition

to

them

.

On

the

contrary

,

I

cherished

them

with

great

love

,

like

the

pupil

of

my

eye

.
