And again in seed-time the child went out with His father to sow corn in their land.

2And while His father was sowing, the child Jesus also sowed one grain of corn.

3And when He had reaped it, and threshed it, He made a hundred kors; and calling all the poor of the village to the threshing-floor, He gave them the corn, and Joseph took away what was left of the corn.

4And He was eight years old when He did this miracle.
