СКАЧАТЬ Lord Jesus was with some boys

       by a river, and they drew water

       out of the river by little channels,

       and made little fish-pools.

      17 But the Lord Jesus had

       made twelve sparrows, and placed

       them about his pool on each side,

       three on a side.

      18 But it was the Sabbath day,

       and the son of Hanani a Jew came

       by, and saw them making these

       things, and said, Do ye thus make

       figures of clay on the Sabbath?

       And he ran to them, and broke

       down their fish-pools.

      19 But when the Lord Jesus

       clapped his hands over the sparrows

       which he had made, they fled away

       chirping.

      20 At length the son of Hanani

       coming to the fish-pool of Jesus

       to destroy it, the water vanished

       away, and the Lord Jesus said to

       him,

      21 In like manner as this water

       had vanished, so shall thy life

       vanish; and presently the boy

       died.

      22 Another time, when the

       Lord Jesus was coming home in

       the evening with Joseph, he met

       a boy, who ran so hard against

       him, that he threw him down;

      23 To whom the Lord Jesus

       said, As thou hast thrown me

       down, so shalt thou fall, nor ever

       rise.

      24 And that moment the boy

       fell down and died.

      CHAPTER XX.

      4 Christ sent to school to Zaccheus to learn

       his letters, and teaches Zaccheus.

       13 Sent to another schoolmaster,

       14 refuses to tell his letters, and the schoolmaster

       going to whip him, his hand withers and he dies.

      THERE was also at Jerusalem

       one named Zaccheus, who

       was a schoolmaster:

      2 And he said to Joseph, Joseph,

       why dost thou not send Jesus to me,

       that he may learn his letters?

      3 Joseph agreed, and told St. Mary;

      4 So they brought him to that

       master; who, as soon as he saw

       him, wrote out an alphabet for him,

      5 And he bade him say Aleph;

       and when he had said Aleph, the

       master bade him pronounce Beth.

      6 Then the Lord Jesus said to

       him, Tell me first the meaning of

       the letter Aleph, and then I will

       pronounce Beth.

      7 And when the master threatened

       to whip him, the Lord Jesus

       explained to him the meaning of

       the letters Aleph and Beth;

      8 Also which were the straight

       figures of the letters, which the

       oblique, and what letters had

       double figures; which had points,

       and which had none; why one

       letter went before another; and

       many other things he began to tell

       him, and explain, of which the

       master himself had never heard,

       nor read in any book.

      9 The Lord Jesus farther said

       to the master, Take notice how I

       say to thee; then he began clearly

       and distinctly to say Aleph, Beth,

       Gimel, Daleth, and so on to the

       end of the alphabet.

      10 At this the master was so

       surprised, that he said, I believe

       this boy was born before Noah;

      11 And turning to Joseph, he

       said, Thou hast brought a boy to

       me to be taught, who is more

       learned than any master.

      12 He said also to St. Mary,

       This your son has no need of any

       learning.

      13 They brought him then

       to a more learned master, who,

       when he saw him, said, say Aleph;

      14 And when he had said Aleph,

       the master bade him pronounce

       Beth; to which the Lord Jesus

       replied, Tell me first the meaning

       of the letter Aleph, and then I
