nkjv Luke:2:41-52
nkjv@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
nkjv@Luke:2:42 @ And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
nkjv@Luke:2:43 @ When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;
nkjv@Luke:2:44 @ but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
nkjv@Luke:2:45 @ So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
nkjv@Luke:2:46 @ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
nkjv@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
nkjv@Luke:2:48 @ So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
nkjv@Luke:2:49 @ And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"
nkjv@Luke:2:50 @ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
nkjv@Luke:2:51 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.
nkjv@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
