Jesus Carries Water in his Cloak

English, translated by Mark Mattison — Mark Mattison translation, Other Gospels; retrieved 11 September 2026

1. And the child Jesus was about seven years old, and his mother Mary sent him to fill up water. But there was a great crowd at the water cistern, and the pitcher was struck and broke.

2. But Jesus spread out the cloak he was wearing, filled it with water, and carried it to his mother. And Mary saw what sign Jesus had done. She kissed him, saying, “Lord, my God, bless our child,” because they were afraid lest someone bewitch him.
