I to do with thee, Jesus, thou son

       of Mary? Whither shall I flee

       from thee?

      19 So he drew back much

       affrighted, and left the girl.

      20 And she was delivered from

       this trouble, and sang praises and

       thanks to God, and with her all

       who were present at the working

       of the miracle.

      CHAPTER XIV.

      1 Judas when a boy possessed by Satan, and brought up

       by his parents to Jesus to be cured, whom he tries to bite,

       7 but failing, strikes Jesus and makes him cry out.

       Whereupon Satan goes from Jesus in the shape of a dog.

      ANOTHER woman likewise

       lived there, whose son was

       possessed by Satan,

      2 This boy, named Judas, as

       often as Satan seized him, was

       inclined to bite all that were

       present; and if he found no one else

       near him, he would bite his own

       hands and other parts.

      3 But the mother of this miserable

       boy, hearing of St. Mary and her son

       Jesus, arose presently and taking

       her son in her arms, brought him

       to the Lady Mary.

      4 In the meantime, James and

       Joses had taken away the infant,

       the Lord Jesus, to play at a proper

       season with other children;

       and when they went forth, they

       sat down and the Lord Jesus with

       them.

      5 Then Judas, who was possessed,

       came and sat down at the right hand

       of Jesus.

      6 When Satan was acting upon him

       as usual, he went about to bite

       the Lord Jesus.

      7 And because he could not do

       it, he struck Jesus on the right

       side, so that he cried out.

      8 And in the same moment Satan

       went out of the boy, and ran

       away like a mad dog.

      9 This same boy who struck

       Jesus, and out of whom Satan went

       in the form of a dog, was Judas

       Iscariot, who betrayed him to the

       Jews.

      10 And that same side, on which

       Judas: struck him, the Jews

       pierced with a spear.

      CHAPTER XV.

      1 Jesus and other boys play together,

       and make clay figures of animals.

       4 Jesus causes them to walk,

       6 also makes clay birds, which he causes to fly,

       and eat and drink.

       7 The children's parents alarmed,

       and take Jesus for a sorcerer.

       8 He goes to a dyer's shop, and throws all the

       cloths into the furnace, and works a miracle therewith.

       15 Whereupon the Jews praise God.

      AND when the Lord Jesus was

       seven years of age, he was

       on a certain day with other boys

       his companions about the same

       age;

      2 Who, when they were at play,

       made clay into several shapes,

       namely--asses, oxen, birds, and

       other figures;

      3 Each boasting of his work,

       and endeavouring to exceed the

       rest.

      4 Then the Lord Jesus said to

       the boys, I will command these

       figures which I have made to

       walk.

      5 And immediately they moved,

       and when he commanded them to

       return, they returned.

      6 He had also made the figures

       of birds and sparrows, which,

       when he commanded to fly, did

       fly, and when he commanded to

       stand still, did stand still; and if

       he gave them meat and drink, they

       did eat and drink.

      7 When at length the boys went

       away, and related these things to

       their parents, their fathers said to

       them, Take heed, children, for the

       future of his company, for he is a

       sorcerer; shun and avoid him, and

       from henceforth never play with

       him.

      8 On a certain day also, when

       the Lord Jesus was playing with

       the boys, and running about, he

       passed by a dyer's shop, whose

       name was Salem.

      9 And there were in his shop

       many pieces of cloth belonging to

       the people of that city, which they

       designed to dye of several colours.

      10 Then the Lord Jesus going

       into the dyer's shop, took all the

       cloths, and threw them into the

       furnace.

      11 When Salem came home, and

       saw the cloths spoiled, he began to

       make a great noise, and to chide

       the Lord Jesus, saying,

      12 What hast thou done to me,

       O thou son of Mary? Thou hast

       injured both me and my neighbours;

       they all desired their cloths

       of a proper colour; but thou hast

       come and spoiled them all.

      13 The Lord Jesus replied, I

       will change the colour of every

       cloth to what colour thou desirest.

      14 And then he presently began

       to take the cloths out of the furnace,

       and they were all dyed of those same

       colours which the dyer desired.

      15 And when the
