And when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, after the custom of the feast day.
43
And when the days were done, they turned again; and the child abode in Jerusalem, and his father and mother knew it not.
44
For they guessing that he had been in the fellowship, came a day's journey, and sought him among his cousins and his acknowledged. [+Forsooth they guessing him to be in the company, or fellowship, came the way, or journey, of a day, and sought him among his cousins and known.]
45
And when they found him not, they turned again into Jerusalem, and sought him [seeking him].
46
And it befell [And it was done], that after the third day they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the doctors, hearing them and asking them.
47
And all men that heard him, wondered on the prudence and the answers of him.
48
And they saw, and wondered. And his mother said to him, Son, what hast thou done to us thus? Lo! thy father and I sorrowing have sought thee.
49
And he said to them, What is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that in those things that be of my Father [wist ye not, that in those things that be my Father's], it behooveth me to be?
50
And they understood not the word, which he spake to them.
51
And he came down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept together all these words, and bare them in her heart [bearing together in her heart].
52
And Jesus profited in wisdom, age, and grace, with God and men.
