41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year to the Passover Feast. 42 And when He was twelve years , they went up, as was their custom. 43 And when the Feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Now His parents did not know this, 44 But, supposing Him to be in the caravan, they traveled on a day's journey; and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances. 45 And when they failed to find Him, they went back to Jerusalem, looking for Him all the way. 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 astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His intelligence and understanding and His replies. 48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, Child, why have You treated us like this? Here Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You . 49 And He said to them, How is it that you had to look for Me? Did you not see and know that it is necessary for Me to be in My Father's house and about My Father's business? 50 But they did not comprehend what He was saying to them. 51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them; and his mother kept and closely and persistently guarded all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and in stature and years, and in favor with God and man.
