Luke 2:50 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 2:50

And they understood not the saying,
&c.] What he meant by his Father's house, or his Father's business, and the necessity of his being there, and about that:

which he spake unto them;
at that time, and as above related.

Luke 2:50 In-Context

48 But his parents were not impressed; they were upset and hurt. His mother said, "Young man, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been half out of our minds looking for you."

49 He said, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be here, dealing with the things of my Father?"

50 But they had no idea what he was talking about.

51 So he went back to Nazareth with them, and lived obediently with them. His mother held these things dearly, deep within herself.

52 And Jesus matured, growing up in both body and spirit, blessed by both God and people.
