Luke 2:42-47

42And whenG3753 He wasG1096 twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old, they wentG305 upG305 there accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the feastG1859;

43and as they were returningG5290, after spendingG5048 theG5048 1fullG5048 numberG5048 of daysG2250 required, the boyG3816 JesusG2424 stayedG5278 behindG5278 in JerusalemG2419, but His parentsG1118 were unawareG3756G1097 of it.

44InsteadG1161, they thoughtG3543 that He was somewhere in the caravanG4923, and they wentG2064 a day’sG2250 journeyG3598; and then they began lookingG327 for Him amongG1722 their relativesG4773 and acquaintancesG1110.

45And when 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 2were amazedG1839 at His understandingG4907 and His answersG612.
