Verse
Luke - ch 2 v 41 - 52
- And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
- And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast;
- And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:
- And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,
- And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him.
- And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them.
- And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.
- And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.
- And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?
- And his words seemed strange to them.
- And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.
- And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.
