2 ⁴¹ Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 2 ⁴² And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; 2 ⁴³ and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 2 ⁴⁴ but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; 2 ⁴⁵ and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 2 ⁴⁶ After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; 2 ⁴⁷ and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 2 ⁴⁸ And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." 2 ⁴⁹ And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" 2 ⁵⁰ And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. 2 ⁵¹ And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
