The document summarizes passages from Luke 2:41-52 describing Jesus at age 12 going with his parents to Jerusalem for Passover. When returning, Jesus stayed behind in the temple discussing scripture with religious teachers while his parents searched for him. After three days they found him in the temple and did not understand his response about being in his "Father's house." Jesus then returned with his parents to Nazareth and was obedient to them, increasing in wisdom as he grew.

who heard Him were amazed at His under-
