Luke 2:40-52

401The ChildG3813 continued to growG837 and becomeG2901 strongG2901, 2increasingG4137 in wisdomG4678; and the graceG5485 of GodG2316 was upon Him.

41Now His parentsG1118 wentG4198 to JerusalemG2419 everyG2596 yearG2094 at 3the FeastG1859 of the PassoverG3957. 42And whenG3753 He becameG1096 twelveG1427, they wentG305 up there accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the FeastG1859; 43and as they were returningG5290, after spendingG5048 the 4fullG5048 numberG5048 of daysG2250, the boyG3816 JesusG2424 stayedG5278 behindG5278 in JerusalemG2419. But His parentsG1118 were unawareG3756G1097 of it, 44but supposedG3543 Him to be in the caravanG4923, and wentG2064 a day’sG2250 journeyG3598; and they began lookingG327 for Him amongG1722 their relativesG4773 and acquaintancesG1110. 45When they did not findG2147 Him, they returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 lookingG327 for Him. 46ThenG2532, afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 Him in the templeG2413, sittingG2516 in the midstG3319 of the teachersG1320, bothG2532 listeningG191 to them and askingG1905 them questionsG1905. 47And allG3956 who heardG191 Him 5were amazedG1839 at His understandingG4907 and His answersG612. 48When they sawG3708 Him, they were astonishedG1605; and 6His motherG3384 saidG3004 to Him, “7SonG5043, whyG5101 have You treatedG4160 us thisG3779 wayG3779? BeholdG2400, 8Your fatherG3962 and I 9have been anxiouslyG3600 lookingG2212 for You.” 49And He saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 is it that you were lookingG2212 for Me? Did you not knowG3609 that 10I hadG1163 to be in My Father’sG3962 11house?” 50But 12they did not understandG4920 the statementG4487 whichG3739 He 13had madeG2980 to them. 51And He wentG2597 downG2597 with them and cameG2064 to 14NazarethG3478, and He continued in subjectionG5293 to them; and 15His motherG3384 16treasuredG1301 allG3956 these 17thingsG4487 in her heartG2588.

52And JesusG2424 kept increasingG4298 in wisdomG4678 and 18statureG2244, and in 19favorG5485 with GodG2316 and menG444.
