Miracles of the Child

When he was completing six years, his mother Mary gave him a pitcher.

2And sent him to fetch water with the other children.

3And it happened that, while fetching water, one of the children pushed him and broke the pitcher.

4Jesus spread out the garment he was wearing and filled it with water.

5And carried it to his mother, who seeing the wonderful sign, kissed him.

6And kept in her heart the wonders she saw him do.

7At the time of sowing, the child went out with his father to sow wheat in his field.

8And while his father sowed, the child Jesus also sowed one grain of wheat.

9And he reaped and threshed a hundred measures.

10And calling all the poor of the village, he gave them the wheat, and Joseph kept the rest.

11Jesus was eight years old when he did this sign.
