Luke 2: 41 - 51
|
| 41 | Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. |
| 42 | And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; |
| 43 | and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, |
| 44 | but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; |
| 45 | and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. |
| 46 | After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; |
| 47 | and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. |
| 48 | And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." |
| 49 | And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" |
| 50 | And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. |
| 51 | And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. |
