³⁹ And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.

⁴⁰ And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.

⁴¹ And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

⁴² And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast

⁴³ and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];

⁴⁴ but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:

⁴⁵ and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.

⁴⁷ And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

⁴⁸ And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.

⁴⁹ And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?

⁵⁰ And they understood not the thing that he said to them.

⁵¹ And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.

⁵² And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
