Luke 2:46–52
46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.↗
47All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.↗
48When 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 were anxiously looking for you.”↗
49He said to them,“Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”↗
50They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.↗
51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.↗
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.↗
