Luke 2:42-50

42And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;

43and as they were returning, after spending the 1full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,

44but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day’s journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.

45When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem looking for Him.

46Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

47And all who heard Him 2were amazed at His understanding and His answers.

48When they saw Him, they were astonished; and 3His mother said to Him, “4Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, 5Your father and I 6have been anxiously looking for You.”

49And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that 7I had to be in My Father’s 8house?”

50But 9they did not understand the statement which He 10had made to them.
