Luke 2:40-52

BLB(i) 40 And the Child continued to grow and become strong, being filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon Him. 41 And His parents were going to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they having gone up according to the custom of the Feast, 43 and having completed the days, in their returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. But His parents did not know. 44 And having supposed Him to be in their company, they went a day’s journey, and began seeking Him among the relatives and the acquaintances; 45 and not having found Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 And it came to pass after three days, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them. 47 And all those hearing Him were amazed at His understanding and answers. 48 And having seen Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Child why have You done thus to us? Behold, Your father and I were seeking You, distressing.” 49 And He said to them, “Why is it that you were seeking Me? Did you not know that it behooves Me to be in the house of My Father?” 50 And they did not understand the word that He spoke to them. 51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He was subject to them. And His mother was treasuring up all these matters in her heart. 52 And Jesus continued to advance in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
