A CERTAIN schoolmaster named Zaccheaus, standing in a certain place, heard Jesus speaking these things to his father.
And he was much surprised, that being a child he should speak such things; and after a few days he came to Joseph, and said,
Thou hast a wise and sensible child, send him to me, that he may learn to read.
When he sat down to teach the letters to Jesus, he began with the first letter Aleph;
But Jesus pronounced the second letter Mpeth (Beth) Cghimel (Gimel), and said over all the letters to him to the end.
Then opening a book, he taught his master the prophets but he was ashamed, and was at a loss to conceive how he came to know the letters.
And he arose and went home, wonderfully surprised at so strange a thing.
