Jesus Teaches Joseph Wisdom
Open in the reader →1(1) And Joseph said to Jesus, “Why do you say such things, and they suffer and hate us?” And the child said to Joseph, “Since you know wise words, you’re not ignorant of where they came from; /they were spoken about a five-year-old.\ And they won’t be raised, and these will receive their punishment.” And immediately those accusing him became blind. (2) And Joseph took his (Jesus’) ear and pulled hard. (3) And Jesus said to him, “It’s enough for you seek and find me, and not, beyond that, to scourge me by having taken on a natural ignorance. You haven’t clearly seen me, why I’m yours. Look! I’ve been subdued before you.”
