Luke 2

48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him,  * 2:48 Mt 12:46 "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."  * 2:48 Lk 2:49; 3:23; 4:22

49 "Why were you searching for me? " he asked them. "Didn’t you know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house? "* 2:49 Or be involved in my Father’s interests (or things), or be among my Father’s people50 But they did not understand what he said to them.  * 2:50 Mk 9:32; Lk 9:45; 18:34

In Favor with God and with People

51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother kept all these things in her heart.  * 2:51 Lk 2:19
