*
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 did not know 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 teachers ,
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 have you thus dealt with us ?
behold ,
your father and I have sought you sorrowing .
*
And he said unto them ,
*
And they understood not the saying which he spoke 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 favor with God and man .
