Verse
Luke - ch 2 v 41 - 52
- And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
- And when he was twelve years old, and they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast
- and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not of it;
- but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
- and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
- And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
- And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
- And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
- And he said to them, Why is it that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be occupied in my Father's business?
- And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
- And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
- And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
