mnt@Luke:2:42 @ And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast

mnt@Luke:2:43 @ After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,

mnt@Luke:2:44 @ but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;

mnt@Luke:2:45 @ and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.

mnt@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.

mnt@Luke:2:47 @ All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

mnt@Luke:2:48 @ When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."

mnt@Luke:2:49 @ He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Fathers house?"

mnt@Luke:2:50 @ But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.

mnt@Luke:2:51 @ Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.

mnt@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
