[2:41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
[2:42] And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom.
[2:43] And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
[2:44] but supposing him to be in the group they went a day’s journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
[2:45] and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him.
[2:46] After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
[2:47] And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
[2:48] And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
[2:49] And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
[2:50] And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
[2:51] And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
[2:52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
