'With the school and with the sheep, I will manage to keep them quiet. But this year, You also, will have to send Jesus to school. It is time' says Alphaeus. 'I will never send Jesus to school.' says Mary resolutely. 'Why? The Child must learn to be ready in good time to pass His exam when He comes of age...' 'The Child will be ready. But He will not go to school. That is quite definite.' 'You will be the only woman in Israel to do that.' 'I will be the only one. But that is what I am going to do. Isn't that right Joseph.' 'Yes, that's correct. Mary was brought up in the Temple and She knows the law as well as any Doctor. She will be His Teacher. That's what I want too.' 'You are quite right' Agrees Mary of Alphaeus. 'I was thinking...James and Judas are only a little older than Jesus. They are already going to school...for what they have learned!...Jesus instead, already knows the law so well...I would like...eh, I mean, if I asked You to take them as well, when You teach Jesus? I think they would behave better and be better educated. After all, they are cousins, and it is only fair that they should love one another like brothers. Oh! I would be so happy!'
