Anonymous, translated by Jeremiah Jones

“ A CERTAIN schoolmaster named Zacchæus, standing in a certain place, heard Jesus speaking these things to his father.
2 And he was much surprised, that being a child he should speak such things; and after a few days he came to Joseph, and said,
3 Thou hast a wise and sensible child, send him to me, that he may learn to read.
4 When he sat down to teach the letters to Jesus, he began with the first letter Aleph;
5 But Jesus pronounced the second letter Mpeth (Beth) Cghimel (Gimel) , and said over all the letters to him to the end. ”

“ CHAP. II.
2 Causes a boy to wither who broke down his fish-pools; 6 Partly restores him. 7 Kills another boy. 16 causes blindness to fall on his accusers, 18 for which, Joseph pulls him by the ear. BESIDES this, the son of Annas the scribe, was standing there with Joseph, and took a bough of a willow tree, and scattered the waters which Jesus had gathered into lakes. ”
