Apocryphal Stories of the Infancy
Luke 2:40
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was on him.


The Holy Spirit of God must have touched Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John with the spirit of "selection," which saved them from such miracle-mongering. For Christ — the Christ that I adore — rises above these pitiful tales.

(George Dawson.)
