41 Now, the parents of Jesus went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.42 And when he was twelve years old, they having gone thither, according to the usage of the festival, and remained the customary time;43 being on their return, the child Jesus staid behind in Jerusalem, and neither Joseph nor his mother knew it.44 They supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey, and then sought him among their relations and acquaintances;45 but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.46 And after three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.47 And all who heard him, were amazed at his understanding and answers,48 and they beheld him with astonishment. And his mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us thus? Behold, your father and I have sought you with sorrow.49 He answered, Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in the courts of my Father?50 But they did not comprehend his answer.51 And he returned with them to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her memory.52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and stature, and in power with God and man.
