Now every year Mary and Joseph used to go to Jerusalem for <strong>the</strong> feast <strong>of</strong> Passover. When <strong>Jesus</strong> was twelve years old, <strong>the</strong>y went up as<br />
usual for <strong>the</strong> feast. When <strong>the</strong>y were on <strong>the</strong>ir way home after <strong>the</strong> feast, <strong>the</strong> child <strong>Jesus</strong> stayed behind in Jerusalem, this without his<br />
parents knowing it. <strong>The</strong>y assumed that he was with <strong>the</strong> caravan. It was only after a day's journey that <strong>the</strong>y went to look for him among<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir relatives and acquaintances. When <strong>the</strong>y couldn't find him <strong>the</strong>y went back to Jerusalem to look for him.<br />
Three days later, <strong>the</strong>y found him in <strong>the</strong> Temple, sitting among <strong>the</strong> teachers <strong>of</strong> Law, listening to <strong>the</strong>m and asking <strong>the</strong>m questions. All<br />
those who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. When Mary and Joseph found him, <strong>the</strong>y didn't know what to<br />
think.<br />
MARY.<br />
Son, why have you done this to us? Can't you see how worried your fa<strong>the</strong>r and I have been looking for you?<br />
JESUS.<br />
Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I would be about my Fa<strong>the</strong>r's business?<br />

But <strong>the</strong>y didn't understand what he meant. He <strong>the</strong>n went back with <strong>the</strong>m and came to Nazareth and lived under <strong>the</strong>ir subjection. But<br />
Mary stored up all <strong>the</strong>se things in her heart. And <strong>Jesus</strong> increased in wisdom, stature and in favor with God and man.<br />
Luke 2:41-52<br />
