Luke 2:44-52 ▼

44 but supposing Him to be in the company, went a day's journey, and then sought for Him among their kindred and acquaintance:

45 and not finding Him they returned to Jerusalem seeking for Him:

46 and after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, attending to them and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard Him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.

48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed. And his mother said to Him, Son, why didst thou deal thus with us? behold, thy father and I with grief have been seeking for thee.

49 And He said to them, Why did ye so seek me? Did not ye know that I ought to be in my Father's house?

50 but they did not understand the word which He spake to them.

51 Then He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
