Jesus Miraculously Fills Broken Pitcher
Open in the reader →1(1) The child Jesus was about seven years old, and his mother Mary sent him to fetch water. But there was a large crowd at the cistern, and the pitcher was struck and broke. (2) Jesus spread out the cloak he was wearing, filled it with water, and carried it to his mother. Mary saw the sign Jesus had performed. She kissed him and said, “Lord, my God, bless our child,” because they were afraid that someone might bewitch him.
