Luke 2:42-51
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
42
And when He was twelve years old, they went up
there
according to the custom of the feast;
43
and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days
required,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware
of it.
44
Instead, they thought that He was
somewhere
in the caravan, and they went a day’s journey; and
then
they
began
looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45
And when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for Him.
46
Then, 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 amazed at His understanding and His answers.
48
When
Joseph and Mary
saw Him, they were bewildered; and His mother said to Him, 'Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You!'
49
And He said to them, 'Why
is it
that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s
house?
'
50
And
yet
they on their part did not understand the statement which He had made to them.
51
And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued to be subject to them; and His mother treasured all
these
things in her heart.
King James Version
Chapter 2
42
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
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.
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.
45
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
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.
47
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
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.
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
50
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
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.

50
But they did not understand what he said to them.
51
Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother kept all these things in her heart.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
42
When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual.
43
After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first,
44
because they assumed he was among the other travelers. But when he didn’t show up that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45
When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there.
46
Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions.
47
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48
His parents didn’t know what to think. 'Son,' his mother said to him, 'why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.'
49
But why did you need to search?' he asked. 'Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?'
50
But they didn’t understand what he meant.
51
Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart.

Chapter 2
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.
