I think that was in the Coptic gospels, hard to say, I read all this stuff so long ago.

This is what they fill in between his birth and impressing Rabbis at 12, then disappearing again until he's 30. They had to put something in there and it had to be miraculous. The reality for a Jewish man at the time would have been marriage and children, and they couldn't have that for a god on earth, women are so icky doodle.

So they stuck in all this miracle stuff, making him come off as a particularly vicious brat, just like his OT daddy.

All because they had to kick him upstairs, Roman style, to be a god.
