Verse
Luke - ch 2 v 41 - 52
- And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
- And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
- and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
- but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
- and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
- And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
- and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
- And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
- And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?
- And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
- And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all `these' sayings in her heart.
- And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
