CHAPTER VI The Child Jesus In The Temple. He Liberates Snared Birds: Goes Again Into Egypt: Studies: Visits India And Other Lands. He Protects A Lion.

“And a certain prophet seeing Him said unto Him, ‘Behold the love and the wisdom of God are one in Thee; therefore in the age to come Thou shall be called Jesus, for by the Christ shall God save mankind […]”

“And on certain day the child Jesus came to a place where a snare was set for birds, and there were some boys there. And Jesus said to them, ‘Who has set this snare for the innocent creatures of God?’ […] And He beheld twelve sparrows as it were dead. And He moved His hands over them and said to them, ‘Go, fly away, and while ye live remember Me.’ And they arose and flew away, making a noise. And the Jews seeing this were astonished and told it unto the priests. And other wonders did the child, and flowers were seen to spring up beneath His feet, where there had been naught but barren ground before. And His companions stood in awe of Him. […]”

“And on a certain day, as He was passing by a mountain side night unto the desert, there met Him a lion, and many men were pursuing him with stones and javelins to slay him. But Jesus rebuked them saying, ‘Why hunt ye these creatures of God, which are more noble than you? By the cruelties of many generations, those were made the enemies of man which should have been his friends. If the power of God is shown in them, so also are shown His long suffering and compassion. Cease ye to persecute this creature, who desires not to harm you; see ye not how he flees from you, and is terrified by your violence?’ And the lion came and lay at the feet of Jesus, and showed love to Him; and the people were astonished and said, ‘Lo this Man loves all creatures, and has power to command even the creatures from the desert, and they obey Him.”
