Luke:2:41-52
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And His parents went into Jerusalem year by year at the Feast of the Passover .
*
And when He was twelve years old ,
they ,
going up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the Feast ,
*
and fulfilling the days ,
in their returning ,
the boy Jesus stayed in Jerusalem .
And Joseph and His mother did not know .
*
But supposing Him to be in the company ,
they went a day on the way .
And they looked for Him among the relatives and friends .
*
And not finding Him ,
they returned to Jerusalem ,
looking for Him .
*
And it happened after three days they found Him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers ,
even hearing them and questioning them .
*
And all those hearing Him were amazed at His intelligence and His answers .
*
And seeing Him ,
they were astounded .
And His mother said to Him ,
Child ,
why did You do so to us ?
Behold ,
Your father and I were looking for You ,
greatly distressed .
*
And He said to them ,
Why did you look for me ?
Did you not know that I must be busy in the affairs of My Father ?
*
And they did not understand the word which He spoke to them .
*
And He went with them and came to Nazareth and was being subject to them .
And His mother carefully kept all these words in her heart .
*
And Jesus progressed in wisdom and stature and favor before God and men .
