Luke 2:40-52

⁴⁰And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.

⁴¹Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.

⁴²And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,

⁴³And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,

⁴⁴But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.

⁴⁵And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.

⁴⁶And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

⁴⁷And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.

⁴⁸So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.

⁴⁹Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?

⁵⁰But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.

⁵¹Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

⁵²And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
