Luke:2:41-52
nasb@Luke:2:41 @Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
nasb@Luke:2:42 @And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;
nasb@Luke:2:43 @and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it,
nasb@Luke:2:44 @but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day's journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
nasb@Luke:2:45 @When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem looking for Him.
nasb@Luke:2:46 @Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
nasb@Luke:2:47 @And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.
nasb@Luke:2:48 @When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."
nasb@Luke:2:49 @And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"
nasb@Luke:2:50 @But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.
nasb@Luke:2:51 @And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
nasb@Luke:2:52 @And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
