Luke 2:40-52

Murdock(i) 40 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and was filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. 41 And his people went up to Jerusalem every year, at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, as they were accustomed. 43 And when the days were completed, they returned: but the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew not of it; 44 for they supposed he was with his companions. And when they had travelled a day's journey, they sought him among their people, and inquired of every one that knew them. 45 And they did not find him. And they returned again to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 And after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, and listening to them, and asking them questions. 47 And all they that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. 48 And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: My son, why hast thou done so to us? For lo, I and thy father have been seeking for thee with great anxiety. 49 He said to them: Why did ye seek me? Do ye not know, that it behooveth me to be in my Father's house? 50 But they did not comprehend the word that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother laid up all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in stature, and in wisdom, and in grace, before God and men.
