1 And after some days, again another teacher said to his (Jesus’) father Joseph: “Come, brother, give him to me in the school so that with flattery I can teach him letters.” And Joseph said to him, “If you have courage, brother, take him with salvation.” And the teacher took the child by the hand and led him away with much fear and concern. And the child went gladly. (IGT) 2 And entering the school, he (Jesus) found a book lying on the lectern. And he took it, but he didn’t read what was written in it, because it wasn’t from God’s law. But he opened his mouth and uttered words so impressive that the teacher seated opposite heard him very gladly and encouraged him so that he might say more. And the crowd standing there was amazed at his holy words. (IGT) 3 And Joseph ran quickly to the school, suspecting that this teacher was no longer inexperienced and suffered. But the teacher said to Joseph, “So that you know, brother, I indeed took your child as a disciple, but he’s full of much grace and wisdom. Therefore, brother, lead him away with salvation into your house.” (IGT)
