Luke 2:40-52

⁴⁰And the Child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

⁴¹And His parents traveled to Jerusalem every year to the Feast of the Passover.

⁴²And when He was twelve years old, when they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,

⁴³and when they completed the days, while they were returning, the Child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and Joseph and His mother did not know it.

⁴⁴But supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and among their acquaintances.

⁴⁵And when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.

⁴⁶Now it came to pass that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them.

⁴⁷And those who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and His answers.

⁴⁸And when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Child, why have You treated us this way? Look, Your father and I were seeking You anxiously.”

⁴⁹And He said to them, “Why is it that you were seeking Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?”

⁵⁰But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

⁵¹Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And His mother kept all these things in her heart.

⁵²And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
