Infancy Gospel of Thomas 14

1But when Joseph saw the understanding of the child, and his age, that it was coming to the full, he thought with himself again that he should not be ignorant of letters; and he took him and delivered him to another teacher. And the teacher said unto Joseph: First will I teach him the Greek letters, and after that the Hebrew. For the teacher knew the skill of the child and was afraid of him: notwithstanding he wrote the alphabet and Jesus pondered thereon a long time and answered him not.

Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ τὸν νοῦν τοῦ παιδίου καὶ τὴν ἡλικιότητα, ὅτι ἀκμάζει, πάλιν ἐβουλεύσατο μὴ εἶναι αὐτὸ ἄπειρον τῶν γραμμάτων, καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν αὐτὸ παρέδωκεν ἑτέρῳ διδασκάλῳ. εἶπε δὲ ὁ διδάσκαλος τῷ Ἰωσήφ· πρῶτον παιδεύσω αὐτὸ τὰ Ἑλληνικά, ἔπειτα τὰ Ἑβραϊκά. ᾔδει γὰρ ὁ διδάσκαλος τὴν πεῖραν τοῦ παιδίου, καὶ ἐφοβήθη αὐτό· ὅμως γράψας τὸν ἀλφάβητον ἐπετήδευεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πολλὴν ὥραν, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτῷ. (38343)

2And Jesus said to him: If thou be indeed a teacher and if thou knowest letters well, tell me the power of the Alpha and then will I tell thee the power of the Beta. And the teacher was provoked and smote him on the head. And the young child was hurt and cursed him, and straightway he fainted and fell to the ground on his face.

Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ ὄντως διδάσκαλος εἶ, καὶ εἰ οἶδας καλῶς τὰ γράμματα, εἰπέ μοι τοῦ ἄλφα τὴν δύναμιν, κἀγώ σοι ἐρῶ τὴν τοῦ βῆτα. πικρανθεὶς δὲ ὁ διδάσκαλος ἔκρουσεν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν κεφαλήν. τὸ δὲ παιδίον πονέσαν κατηράσατο αὐτόν, καὶ εὐθέως ἐλιποθύμησε καὶ ἔπεσεν χαμαὶ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον. (24684)

3And the child returned unto the house of Joseph: and Joseph was grieved and commanded his mother, saying : Let him not forth without the door, for all they die that provoke him to wrath.

Ἀπεστράφη δὲ τὸ παιδίον εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἰωσήφ. Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ἐλυπήθη, καὶ παρήγγειλε τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ ὅπως ἔξω τῆς θύρας μὴ ἀπολύσεις αὐτόν, διότι ἀποθνήσκουσιν οἱ παροργίζοντες αὐτόν. (17009)
