| Now his parents went to Jerusalem every
year at the feast of the passover.
And when he was twelve years old, they
went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the
| feast.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as
they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind
in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother
| knew not of it.
But they, supposing him to have been In
the company, went days journey and they
sought him among their kinsfolk and ac-
| quaintance..
| And when they found hi a not, they turned
back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
And ii came to pass. that after hree days
they found him in the temple, sitting in the
midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and
asking them questions.
And all that heard him were astonished al
his understanding and answers.
And when they saw him, they were amazed
and his mother said unto him. Son, why hast
thou thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father
and have sought thee sorrowing.
And he said unto them, How is it that ye
sought me? wist ye not that must be about
| my Fathers business 1?
And they understood not the saying which
he spoke unto them.
| And he went down with them, and came to
| Nazareth. and subject unto them: but
| his mother kept all these ayings in her heart
| And Jesus increased in wisdom and stat.
ure, and in favor with God and man.
