Jesus in the Temple
Luke Chapter 2
|
| 2:41 |
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. |
|
|
|
| 2:42 |
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. |
|
|
|
| 2:43 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 2:44 |
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. |
|
|
|
| 2:45 |
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. |
|
|
|
| 2:46 |
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. |
|
|
|
| 2:47 |
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. |
|
|
|
| 2:48 |
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 I have sought thee sorrowing. |
|
|
|
| 2:49 |
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? |
|
|
|
| 2:50 |
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. |
|
|
|
| 2:51 |
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. |
|
|
|
| 2:52 |
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. |
