Luke 2:48-50

48When they sawG3708 Him, they were astonishedG1605; and 1His motherG3384 saidG3004 to Him, “2SonG5043, whyG5101 have You treatedG4160 us thisG3779 wayG3779? BeholdG2400, 3Your fatherG3962 and I 4have been anxiouslyG3600 lookingG2212 for You.”

49And He saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 is it that you were lookingG2212 for Me? Did you not knowG3609 that 5I hadG1163 to be in My Father’sG3962 6house?”

50But 7they did not understandG4920 the statementG4487 whichG3739 He 8had madeG2980 to them.
