Looking for Jesus

Luke 2:41-52 NKJV

[41] His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

[42] And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

[43] When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;

[44] but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.

[45] So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.

[46] Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

[47] And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

[48] So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”

[49] And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

[50] But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

[51] Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

[52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men
