002:039 Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 002:040 And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him. 002:041 Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover. 002:042 And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and, 002:043 after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this, 002:044 but supposing Him to be in the travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives and acquaintances; 002:045 but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him. 002:046 On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions, 002:047 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave. 002:048 When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, "My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish." 002:049 "Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?" 002:050 But they did not understand the significance of these words. 002:051 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory. 002:052 And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. 003:001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being Governor of Judaea, Herod Tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene, 003:002 during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert. 003:003 John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins; 003:004 as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying aloud! `In the Desert prepare ye a road for the Lord: make His highway straight. 003:005 Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill levelled down, the crooked places shall be turned into straight roads, and the rugged ways into smooth; 003:006 and then shall all mankind see God's salvation.'"
