EveryG2596 yearG2094 HisG846 parentsG1118 wentG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 for theG3588 FeastG1859 of theG3588 PassoverG3957. 42AndG2532 whenG3753 He wasG1096 twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old, theyG846 went upG305 according toG2596 theG3588 customG1485 of theG3588 FeastG1859.

43When thoseG3588 daysG2250 were overG5048 and theyG846 were returningG5290 home, theG3588 boyG3816 JesusG2424 remained behindG5278 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, butG2532 HisG846 parentsG1118 were unawareG3756G1097 He had stayed. 44AssumingG3543 HeG846 wasG1510 inG1722 theirG3588 companyG4923, they traveled onG2064G3598 for a dayG2250 before they began to lookG327 for HimG846 amongG1722 their relativesG4773 andG2532 friendsG1110.

45WhenG2532 they could not findG3361G2147 Him, they returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 to search forG327 HimG846. 46FinallyG2532G1096, afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 HimG846 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, sittingG2516 amongG1722G3319 theG3588 teachersG1320, listening toG191 themG846 andG2532 asking them questionsG1905G846. 47AndG1161 allG3956 whoG3588 heardG191 HimG846 were astoundedG1839 atG1909 HisG846 understandingG4907 andG2532 His answersG612.

48WhenG2532 His parents sawG3708 HimG846, they were astonishedG1605. “ChildG5043, whyG5101 have You doneG4160 thisG3779 to usG1473?” HisG846 motherG3384 askedG2036G4314G846. “YourG4771 fatherG3962 and IG2504 have been anxiously searchingG2212G3600 for YouG4771.”

49“WhyG5101 were you looking forG2212 MeG1473?” He askedG2036G4314G846. “Did you not knowG3756G1492 thatG3754 IG1473 hadG1163 to beG1510 inG1722 MyG1473 Father’sG3962 house1?” 50ButG2532 theyG846 did not understandG3756G4920 theG3588 statementG4487 He was makingG2980 to themG846.
