41And his parents went each year to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover lamb.42And when he was twelve years old, they were going up according to the custom of the festival.43And after they had completed the days, while they were returning, Jesus the child remained in Jerusalem, and his parents did not know.44Then, supposing that he was in the caravan, they traveled a day's journey, and they were searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances.45And when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem searching for him.46And after three days they found him in the sacred place, sitting in the midst of the teachers and listening to them and questioning them.47And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.48And when they saw him, they were astounded, and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I have been anxiously seeking you."49And he said to them, "Why were you seeking me? Did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in the things of my father?"50And they did not understand the statement which he spoke to them.51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother kept all these statements in her heart.52And Jesus advanced in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and humans.
