Luke 2:48-52

48When they saw Him, they were astonished; and 1His mother said to Him, “2Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, 3Your father and I 4have been anxiously looking for You.” 49And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that 5I had to be in My Father’s 6house?” 50But 7they did not understand the statement which He 8had made to them. 51And He went down with them and came to 9Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and 10His mother 11treasured all these 12things in her heart.

52And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and 13stature, and in 14favor with God and men.
