when He did these things. And there were also many other children playing with
Him.

And a certain Jew, seeing what Jesus was doing, playing on the Sabbath,
went off immediately, and said to his father Joseph: Behold, thy son is at the
stream, and has taken clay, and made of it twelve birds, and has profaned the
Sabbath.

And Joseph, coming to the place and seeing, cried out to Him, saying: Wherefore doest thou on the Sabbath what it is not lawful to do?

And Jesus
clapped His hands, and cried out to the sparrows, and said to them: Off you go!

And the sparrows flew, and went off crying. And the Jews seeing this were
amazed, and went away and reported to their chief men what they had seen Jesus
doing.
