Chapter XIV.&#8212;How Jesus Delivered James from the Bite of a Serpent.

And Joseph sent James to gather straw, and Jesus followed him.&#160; And while James was gathering the straw, a viper bit him; and he fell to the ground, as if dead from the poison.&#160; And Jesus seeing this, blew upon his wound; and immediately James was made whole, and the viper died.
