Infancy Gospel of Thomas 1

Miracles of the Child

I, Thomas, the Israelite, tell all of you, brethren among the Gentiles, the deeds of the infancy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2These wonders he performed when he was five years of age, being in the city of Nazareth.

3When the child Jesus was five years old, he was playing beside a brook.

4He gathered the running waters into pools and made them immediately pure.

5And he commanded them by his word alone.

6And having made soft clay, he molded twelve sparrows.

7And it was the Sabbath when he did these things.

8And there were also many other children playing with him.
