#The birth of Jesus - based on the Protevangelium of James #Miracles during the Flight Into Egypt - seemingly based on nothing more than local traditions #The miracles of Jesus as a boy - based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas It contains a number of embellishments on the earlier text, however, including a Nappy (of Jesus) that heals people, sweat (of Jesus) that turns into balm, curing leprosy, and dyeing cloth varied colours using only Indigo dye. It also claims earlier encounters for Jesus with Judas Iscariot, and with the thieves whom he is later crucified with, as well as being one of the earliest documents. According to the analysis of Textual Criticism , the text was originally written in Syriac , but became translated into Arabic , probably around the time that Christianity began to spread into the Arabian Peninsula . The narrative of the Arabic Infancy Gospel, particularly the second part concerning the miracles in Egypt, can also be found in the Qu'ran . According to critical scholarship, its presence in the Qu'ran is directly due to the influence the Gospel had amongst the Arabs. EXTERNAL LINKS |
