The Apostle Peter asks the Lord to palsy half of his daughter’s body so Ptolemaeus, a rich man, will no longer find her attractive. Grief-stricken and blinded, Ptolemaeus sees the light and comes to Jesus but Peter, the healer, leaves his daughter deformed. For the story of another bad dad, read The Great Stork Derby, based on an actual contest in which a husband pressures his wife to have babies for cash and, fifty years later, learns the true value of fatherhood.
