Chapter 4: Jesus Curses a Careless Child

1. From there he was going with his father Joseph, and someone running struck his shoulder. And Jesus said to him, “Cursed be you because of your leader!”

And immediately he died.

And the people who saw that he had died immediately cried out and said, “From where was this child born, that his word becomes deed?”

2. And when the parents of the dead child saw what had happened, they blamed Joseph his father, saying, “From wherever you have this child, you can’t live with us in this village. If you want to be here, teach him to bless and not to curse, because our child has been taken away from us.”
