Earliest record of Jesus' childhood found in 2,000-year-old parchment – ​​and reveals miracle NOT in the Bible

THE earliest record of Jesus' childhood has been found in a 2,000-year-old parchment that tells an incredible story not found in the Bible.

Scrawled on an ancient Egyptian manuscript, it reveals the Son of God performed a miracle known as the “vivification of the sparrows” when he was just a boy.

The transcript is believed to tell the story of Jesus turning clay pigeons into real birds when he was just five-years-old.[/caption]

The 2,000-year-old papyrus – a material that predates paper – claims the five-year-old Messiah turned clay pigeons into live birds.

The tale, which is also referred to as the “second miracle”, is thought to have been written as part of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (IGT) around the 2nd Century.

The book details Jesus of Nazareth's youth that was ultimately excluded from the Bible.

The earliest written example of the gospel was from the 11th Century.

The clumsiness of the handwriting on the recently discovered papyrus, however, has led researchers to believe it was written by a child in 4th or 5th Century Egypt.

The papyrus had been lying unnoticed at the Hamburg State and University Library in Hamburg, Germany, when experts identified Jesus' name in the text.

The Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) said in a statement that it was “a significant discovery for the research field”.

“It was thought to be part of an everyday document, such as a private letter or a shopping list, because the handwriting seems so clumsy,” said papyrologist Dr Lajos Berkes, from the Institute for Christianity and Antiquity at HU.

“We first noticed the word 'Jesus' in the text,” he added.

“Then, by comparing it with numerous other digitized papyri, we deciphered it letter by letter and quickly realized that it could not be an everyday document.”

The IGT story states that Jesus was just a five-year-old boy when his father, Joseph, caught him molding 12 sparrows out of soft clay while playing in a stream.

When Joseph noticed what his son was doing, he scolded him and asked why he would be molding clay on the Sabbath – a holy day of rest and worship.

In response, Jesus ordered the clay figures to “take flight as living birds,” Professor Dr Gabriel Nocchi Macedo, from the University of Liège, Belgium, told the DailyMail.

The papyrus fragment measured four by two inches and contained a total of 13 lines of a popular religious story from the IGT, the Mail adds.

As well as the clumsy handwriting, other signifiers such as irregular lines led researchers to believe the story was likely written as part of a class exercise in a school or religious community.

However, when exactly it came into the hands of the library in Hamburg remains unknown.

Dr Macedo did say, though, that it seemed to have been inventoried after 2001.

He believes the papyrus could have belonged to the original core of the collection and was acquired through the German Papyruskartell between 1906 and 1913.

“[It] then augmented through individual purchases up until 1939,” he said. “[or] it arrived … from Berlin in a box full of unconserved papyri in 1990.”

It comes after breakthrough research discovered the truth behind ruins in ancient Jerusalem which verifies the Bible's accounts.

A stretch of wall in the original heart of the city was revealed to have been built by King Uzziah, as hinted at in the Bible.

For years, experts believed that Hezekiah, who ruled Judah during the 7th and 8th century BC, erected the walls after witnessing his neighbors, the Kingdom of Israel, get destroyed by the Assyrian Empire.

Major bible discoveries

Some of the most remarkable discoveries in biblical archeology can take time to come to light.

But when they do, they can completely alter what we thought we knew.

In April 2023, for example, a new Bible chapter that contains hidden verses came to light after it was erased by a scribe 1,500 years ago.

The incredible discovery that dates back to the 3rd century features chapters 11 through 12 from Matthew and is one of the earliest translations of the Gospels.

Some other major discoveries have been listed below.

Dead Sea Scrolls – Discovered over a period of ten years, between 1946 and 1956, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain parts of every single book of the Old Testament, except for Esther.

Merneptah Stele – Also known as the Israel Stele or the Victory Stele of Merneptah, is an inscription by Merneptah, a pharaoh in ancient Egypt who reigned from 1213 to 1203 BCE, features the earliest textual reference to the lands of Israel.

King Hezekiah seal – In 2009, archaeologists uncovered a seal belonging to King Hezekiah, who ruled Jerusalem in the 8th century.

Ketef Hinnom scrolls – The discovery of the Ketef Hinnom Scrolls played a significant role in the understanding of ancient Jewish culture and the Bible today.

Caiaphas ossuary – The Caiaphas ossuary is one of twelve ossuaries or bone boxes, discovered in a burial cave in south Jerusalem in November 1990.
