And Joseph sent his son James to tie up wood and bring it home, and the child Jesus also followed him.

2And when James was gathering the fagots, a viper bit James' hand.

3And when he was racked with pain, and at the point of death, Jesus came near and blew upon the bite; and the pain ceased directly, and the beast burst, and instantly James remained safe and sound.
