Miracles of the Child

A man was building a house and fell from a height and died.

2And there was great tumult, and Jesus went to see what had happened.

3Seeing the dead man, he took his hand and said: I say to you, man, rise up and do your work.

4And immediately he rose up and worshiped him.

5The multitude marveled and said: This child is from heaven, for he has saved many souls from death.

6And he will save them throughout his life.

7And when he was twelve years old, his parents went to Jerusalem with a caravan for the feast of Passover.

8And after the Passover they returned, and the child Jesus went up to the temple in Jerusalem.

9And all who heard him marveled at his wisdom.
