* Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover . * And when he was twelve years old , they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast . * And when they had fulfilled the days , as they returned , the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it . * But they , supposing him to have been in the company , went a day 's journey ; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance . * And when they found him not , they turned back again to Jerusalem , seeking him . * And it came to pass , that after three days they found him in the temple , sitting in the midst of the doctors , both hearing them , and asking them questions . * And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers . * And when they saw him , they were amazed : and his mother said unto him , Son , why hast thou thus dealt with us ? behold , thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing . * And he said unto them , How is it that ye sought me ? wist ye not that I must be about my Father 's business ? * And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them . * And he went down with them , and came to Nazareth , and was subject unto them : but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart . * And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature , and in favour with God and man .
