New International Reader's Version

Luke 2:47-51 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

47. Everyone who heard him was amazed at how much he understood. They also were amazed at his answers.

48. When his parents saw him, they were amazed. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried about you. We have been looking for you everywhere."

49. "Why were you looking for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"

50. But they did not understand what he meant by that.

51. Then he went back to Nazareth with them, and he obeyed them. But his mother kept all these things like a secret treasure in her heart.
