Cuando [la mujer del gobernador] se enteró de sus habladurías las invitó [a su casa], les preparó un banquete y dio a cada una de ellas un cuchillo [para cortar la comida]. Entonces le dijo [a José]: “Preséntate ante ellas”. Cuando lo vieron quedaron tan asombradas [por su belleza] que se cortaron la mano [por la distracción], y dijeron: “¡Dios Santo! No es un ser humano, es un ángel hermoso”1.
