42. And when He was twelve years [old], they went up, as was their custom.

43. And when the Feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Now His parents did not know this,

44. But, supposing Him to be in the caravan, they traveled on a day's journey; and [then] they sought Him [diligently, looking up and down for Him] among their kinsfolk and acquaintances.

45. And when they failed to find Him, they went back to Jerusalem, looking for Him [up and down] all the way.

46. After three days they found Him [came upon Him] in the [court of the] temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

47. And all who heard Him were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His intelligence and understanding and His replies.
