耶稣十二岁时在圣殿里
2:41每年到逾越节，他父母就上耶路撒冷去。
2:42当他十二岁的时候，他们按著节期的规矩上去。
2:43守满了节期，他们回去，孩童耶稣仍旧在耶路撒冷。他的父母并不知道，
2:44以为他在同行的人中间，走了一天的路程，就在亲族和熟识的人中找他，
2:45既找不著，就回耶路撒冷去找他。
2:46过了三天，就遇见他在殿里，坐在教师中间，一面听，一面问。
2:47凡听见他的，都希奇他的聪明和他的应对。
2:48他父母看见就很希奇。他母亲对他说：“我儿，为什么向我们这样行呢？看哪，你父亲和我伤心来找你！”
2:49耶稣说：“为什么找我呢？岂不知我应当以我父的事为念吗？（注：或作“岂不知我应当在我父的家里吗？”）”
2:50他所说的这话，他们不明白。
2:51他就同他们下去，回到拿撒勒，并且顺从他们。他母亲把这一切的事都存在心里。
2:52耶稣的智慧和身量（注：或作：“年纪”），并 神和人喜爱他的心，都一齐增长。
41Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.
43After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
44Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
46After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
50But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
