45. And not having found Him, they returned to Yerushalayim, seeking Him.
46. And it came to be, after three days, that they found Him in the Set-apart Place, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

48. And having seen Him, they were amazed. And His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? See, Your father and I have been anxiously seeking You.”
49. And He said to them, “Why were you seeking Me? Did you not know that I had to be in the matters of My Father?”
50. But they did not understand the word which He spoke to them.
