In 1697, Henry Sike, Professor of Oriental Languages at Cambridge, first
translated the First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ. The writer of this
gospel is supposed to have been Thomas. The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus
Christ was read in many churches along with the other four gospels. In 1599, the
Synod at Angamala, in the mountains of Malabar, condemned the gospel. It has
been thought that Mahomet used The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ
to compile the Koran. Several of the supernatural incidents recorded in the
gospel are collaborated by Persian legends. The First Gospel of the Infancy of
Jesus Christ abounds with paranormal and superhuman events performed by the
young Jesus Christ.

1:19
After this, when the shepherds came, and had made a fire and they were
exceedingly rejoicing, the heavenly host appeared to them, praising and adoring
the supreme God.
20
And as the shepherds we engaged in the same employment, the
cave at that time seemed like a glorious temple, because both the tongues of
angels and men united to adore and magnify God, on account of the birth of the
Lord Christ.
The Infant Was Shining Like A Pillar Of Light
2:5
Then after ten days they brought him to Jerusalem, and on the fortieth day
from his birth they presented him in the temple before the Lord, making the
proper offerings for him, according to the requirement of the law of Moses:
namely, that every male which opens the womb shall be called holy unto God.

pleasure at the sight.

arose, and went.
An Idol Speaks And Then Falls
4:10
And all the magistrates and priests of the idols assembled before that
idol, and made inquiry there, saying, What means all this consternation, and
dread, which has fallen upon our country?
11
The idol answered them, The unknown
God is come hither, who is truly God; nor is there any one besides him, who is
worthy of divine worship; for he is truly the Son of God.
12
At the fame of him
this country trembled, and at his coming it is under the present commotion and

began to come out of his mouth, and fly away in the shape of crows and serpents.

began to sing praises, and give thanks to the Lord who had healed him.
The Thieves Hear A Great Noise

king with a great army and many horses, and the trumpets sounding at his
departure from his own city at which they were so affrighted as to leave all
their booty behind them, and fly away in haste.
5
Upon this the prisoners arose,
and loosed each other's bonds, and taking each man his bags, they went away, and
saw Joseph and Mary coming towards them, and inquired, Where is that king, the
noise of whose approach the robbers heard, and left us, so that we are now come
off safe?
6
Joseph answered, He will come after us.
Satan Takes On The Form Of A Young Man
6:1
Then they went into another city where there was a woman possessed with a
devil, and in whom Satan, that cursed rebel, had taken up his abode.
2
One
night, when she went to fetch water, she could neither endure her clothes on,
nor to be in any house; but as often as they tied her with chains or cords, she
brake them, and went out into desert places, and sometimes standing where roads
crossed, and in churchyards, would throw stones at men.

Christ, and took him in her arms, and closely hugging him, very often kissed

7
Straightway the
string of her tongue was loosed, and her ears were opened, and she began to sing

come down among them.

This woman
seeing the Lady St. Mary, and the Lord Christ the infant in her bosom, asked the
Lady St. Mary, that she would give her the child to kiss, and carry in her arms.
14
When she had consented, and as soon as the woman had moved the child, Satan
left her, and fled away, nor did the woman ever afterwards see him.

and when she had washed him, she preserved the water.
17

there, whose body was white with a leprosy, who being sprinkled with this water,
and washed, was instantly cleansed from her leprosy.

our family no one older than us; no father, or brother to go in and out before
us.
23
But this mule, which you see, was our brother, which some woman by
witchcraft have brought into this condition which you see: we therefore entreat
you to compassionate us.
24
Hereupon St. Mary was grieved at their case, and
taking the Lord Jesus, put him upon the back of the mule.
25
And said to her
son, O Jesus Christ, restore (or heal) according to thy extraordinary power this
mule, and grant him to have again the shape of a man and a rational creature, as
he had formerly.
26
This was scarce said by the Lady St. Mary, but the mule
immediately passed into a human form, and became a young man without any
deformity.
27
Then he and his mother and the sisters worshipped the Lady St.
Mary, and lifting the child upon their heads, they kissed him, and said, Blessed
is thy mother, O Jesus, O Saviour of the world! Blessed are the eyes which are
so happy as to see thee.
28

a truth our brother is restored to his former shape by the help of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the kindness of that girl, who told us of Mary and her son.

his violent pains, had fallen asleep; and after he had slept a little, awaked
perfectly well and recovered.
10
When the woman heard her say this, she also
went, and having procured the same water, washed her son with it, whereupon his
body and his eyes were instantly restored to their former state.

brought her son to St. Mary, and opened his case to her, she commanded her to
give thanks to God for the recovery of her son's health, and tell no one what
had happened.

One of them was called Mary and her son's name was Caleb.

She arose, and
taking her son, went to the Lady St. Mary, the mother of Jesus, and offered her
a very handsome carpet, saying, O my Lady Mary accept this carpet of me, and
instead of it give me a small swaddling cloth.
3
To this Mary agreed, and when
the mother of Caleb was gone, she made a coat for her son of the swaddling
cloth, put it on him, and his disease was cured; but the son of the other wife
died.
Caleb Unable To Be Harmed After Being Cured
10:5
And when the turn of Mary the mother of Caleb came, and she was heating the
oven to bake bread, and went away to fetch the meal, she left her son Caleb by
the oven;
6
Whom, the other wife, her rival, seeing to be by himself took and
cast him into the oven, which was very hot, and then went away.

return saw her son Caleb lying in the middle of the oven laughing, and the oven
quite as cold as though it had not been before heated, and knew that her rival
the other wife had thrown him into the fire.
10:9

and saw Caleb playing by the well, and that no one was near, took him, and threw
him into the well.

And when some men came to fetch water from the well they
saw the boy sitting on the superficies of the water, an drew him out with ropes,
and were exceedingly surprised a the child, and praised God.
Child Saved From Death
11:1
Another woman in that city had likewise two sons sick.
2
And when one was
dead, the other, who lay at the point of death, she took in her arms to the Lady
St. Mary, and in a flood of tears addressed herself to her, saying,
3
O my Lady,
help and relieve me; for I had two sons the one I have just now buried, the
other I see is just at the point of death, behold how I (earnestly) seek favour
from God, and pray to him.
4
Then she said, O Lord, thou art gracious, and
merciful, and kind; thou hast given me two sons; one of them thou hast taken to
thyself, O spare me this other.
5
St. Mary then perceiving the greatness of her
sorrow, pitied her and said, Do thou place thy son in my son's bed, and cover
him with his clothes.
6
And when she had placed him in the bed wherein Christ
lay, at the moment when his eyes were just closed by death; as soon as ever the
smell of the garments of the Lord Jesus Christ reached the boy, his eyes were
opened, and calling with a loud voice to his mother, he asked for bread, and
when he had received it, he sucked it.
