39 - And when they had done everything according to the Law of the LORD, they returned to their own town,  Nazareth of Galilee. 40 And the child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.

     41 His parents, Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of Passover. 42 And in his twelfth year, they went up according to their habit. 43 But when the feast was ended, and they were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and they didn’t know it. 44 But supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, and then they began to look for him among their relatives and friends, 45 and when they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him.

     46 After three days they found him in the temple. Be was sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when Joseph and Mary 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 searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know I must be in my Father's house?” 50 They didn’t really understand what he was saying. 51 And he went with them, to his hometown of Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And Mary treasured up all these things in her heart. 52 And the boy Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with both God and man.
