And Joseph called the child apart, and admonished Him, saying: Why doest thou such things, and these people suffer, and hate us, and persecute us?
2And Jesus said: I know that these words of thine are not thine own; nevertheless for thy sake I will be silent; but they shall bear their punishment.
3And straightway those that accused Him were struck blind.
4And those who saw it were much afraid and in great perplexity, and said about Him: Every word which he spoke, whether good or bad, was an act, and became a wonder.
5And when they saw that Jesus had done such a thing, Joseph rose and took hold of His ear, and pulled it hard.
6And the child was very angry, and said to him: It is enough for thee to seek, and not to find; and most certainly thou hast not done wisely.
7Knowest thou not that I am thine?
8Do not trouble me.
