Chapter XXII
Reading edition
1 Jesus conceals his miracles, 2 studies the law, 3 and is baptized.
NOW from this time Jesus began to conceal his miracles and secret works,
2 And gave himself to the study of the law, till he arrived to the end of his thirtieth year;
3 At which time the Father publicly owned him at Jordan, sending down this voice from heaven, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased;
4 The Holy Ghost being also present in the form of a dove.
5 This is he whom we worship with all reverence, because he gave us our life and being, and brought us from our mother's womb, Glory to God,
6 Who, for our sakes, took a human body, and hath redeemed us, that so he might embrace us with everlasting mercy, and shew his free, large, bountiful grace and goodness to us.
7 To him be glory and praise, and power, and dominion, from henceforth said for evermore. Amen.
(The end of the whole Gospel of the Infancy, by the assistance of the Supreme God, according to what we found in the original.)
