Chapter XI.—How Jesus Made
a Short Piece of Wood of the Same Length as a Longer One.
And Jesus reached the age of eight years.
Joseph was a master builder,1770

ploughs and ox-yokes. And one day a rich man said to Joseph: Master, make me a
couch, both useful and beautiful. And Joseph was in distress,
because the wood which he had brought1771

sectum, cut, is the true reading, and not actum. | for the work was too short. And
Jesus said to him: Do not be annoyed. Take hold of this
piece of wood by one end, and I by the other; I and let us draw it
out. And they did so; and immediately he found it useful for that
which he wished. And He said to Joseph: Behold, do the work
which thou wishest. And Joseph, seeing what He had done, embraced
Him, and said: Blessed am I, because God hath given me such a
son.
