Luke 2:40-47

40The boy grew up and became strong, filled with wisdom, and God’s grace was on him.

41Every year his parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.

42When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the festival.

43After those days were over, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

44Assuming he was in the traveling party, they went a day’s journey. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.

45When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

46After three days, they found him in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

47And all those who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers.
