At twelve, the boy Jesus among the teachers in the temple

열 두 살 된 예수께서 성전에서 선생들 중에 앉으심

Luke 2:41–52: Jesus’ parents go every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover. When Jesus is twelve years old, they go up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast, and when they have fulfilled the days, as they are returning, the boy Jesus stays behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and the boy’s mother do not know it, but supposing him to be in the company, they go a day’s journey and look for him among their relatives and acquaintances; when they do not find him, they return to Jerusalem, looking for him. After three days they find him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions, and all who hear him are amazed at his understanding and his answers. When they see him they are astonished, and his mother says to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.” Jesus says to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?” They do not understand the saying which he spoke to them. Jesus goes down with them and comes to Nazareth, and is subject to them, and his mother keeps all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increases in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
