18 Oh! how great a miracle was
this, which was done: as soon as
the dragon saw the swaddling
cloth of the Lord Jesus, fire went
forth and was scattered upon his
head and eyes; so that he cried
out with a loud voice, What have
I to do with thee, Jesus, thou son
of Mary? Whither shall I flee
from thee?

19 So he drew back much
affrighted, and left the girl.

20 And she was delivered from
this trouble, and sang praises and
thanks to God, and with her all
who were present at the working
of the miracle.

CHAPTER XIV.

1 Judas when a boy possessed by Satan, and brought up
by his parents to Jesus to be cured, whom he tries to bite,
7 but failing, strikes Jesus and makes him cry out.
Whereupon Satan goes from Jesus in the shape of a dog.

ANOTHER woman likewise
lived there, whose son was
possessed by Satan,

2 This boy, named Judas, as
often as Satan seized him, was
inclined to bite all that were
present; and if he found no one else
near him, he would bite his own
hands and other parts.

3 But the mother of this miserable
boy, hearing of St. Mary and her son
Jesus, arose presently and taking

the Lord Jesus, to play at a proper
season with other children;
and when they went forth, they
sat down and the Lord Jesus with

5 Then Judas, who was possessed,
came and sat down at the right hand
of Jesus.

6 When Satan was acting upon him
as usual, he went about to bite
the Lord Jesus.

7 And because he could not do
it, he struck Jesus on the right
side, so that he cried out.

8 And in the same moment Satan
went out of the boy, and ran
away like a mad dog.

9 This same boy who struck
Jesus, and out of whom Satan went
in the form of a dog, was Judas
Iscariot, who betrayed him to the
Jews.

10 And that same side, on which
Judas: struck him, the Jews
pierced with a spear.

CHAPTER XV.

1 Jesus and other boys play together,
and make clay figures of animals.
4 Jesus causes them to walk,
6 also makes clay birds, which he causes to fly,
and eat and drink.
7 The children's parents alarmed,
and take Jesus for a sorcerer.
8 He goes to a dyer's shop, and throws all the
cloths into the furnace, and works a miracle therewith.
15 Whereupon the Jews praise God.

AND when the Lord Jesus was
