Jesus Creates Birds
Jesus forms birds out of clay.
Quran
| “ | I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into and it is a bird by permission of Allah ] | ” |
This parallels an episode in the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas where he does the same:
Infancy Gospel of Thomas
| “ | then made soft clay and shaped it into twelve sparrows. | ” |
The Injilu 't Tufuliyyah, also known as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ, was written in the middle of the 2nd century.
