Luke 2:47-52

47 His understanding and his answers stunned everyone who heard him.
48 When his parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!"
49 Jesus said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you realize that I had to be in my Father's house?"
50 But they didn't understand what he meant.
51 Then he returned with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52 Jesus grew in wisdom and maturity. He gained favor from God and people.
