Infancy Gospel of James — The Temple Veil
1 And Joseph, throwing away his axe, went out to meet them; and when they had assembled, they went away to the high priest, taking with them their rods.
2 And he, taking the rods of all of them, entered into the temple, and prayed; and having ended his prayer, he took the rods and came out, and gave them to them: but there was no sign in them, and Joseph took his rod last; and, behold, a dove came out of the rod, and flew upon Joseph's head.
3 And the priest said to Joseph, Thou hast been chosen by lot to take into thy keeping the virgin of the Lord.
4 But Joseph refused, saying: I have children, and I am an old man, and she is a young girl.
5 I am afraid lest I become a laughing-stock to the sons of Israel.
6 And the priest said to Joseph: Fear the Lord thy God, and remember what the Lord did to Dathan, and Abiram, and Korah; how the earth opened, and they were swallowed up on account of their contradiction.
7 And now fear, O Joseph, lest the same things happen in thy house.
8 And Joseph was afraid, and took her into his keeping.
9 And Joseph said to Mary: Behold, I have received thee from the temple of the Lord; and now I leave thee in my house, and go away to build my buildings, and I shall come to thee.
10 The Lord will protect thee.
