43.그 날들을 마치고 돌아갈 때에 아이 예수는 예루살렘에 머무셨더라 그 부모는 이를 알지 못하고
44.동행 중에 있는 줄로 생각하고 하룻길을 간 후 친족과 아는 자 중에서 찾되
45.만나지 못하매 찾으면서 예루살렘에 돌아갔더니
46.사흘 후에 성전에서 만난즉 그가 선생들 중에 앉으사 저희에게 듣기도 하시며 묻기도 하시니
47.듣는 자가 다 그 지혜와 대답을 기이히 여기더라
48.그 부모가 보고 놀라며 그 모친은 가로되 아이야 어찌하여 우리에게 이렇게 하였느냐 보라 네 아버지와 내가 근심하여 너를 찾았노라
49.예수께서 가라사대 어찌하여 나를 찾으셨나이까 내가 내 아버지 집에 있어야 될 줄을 알지 못하셨나이까 하시니
50.양친이 그 하신 말씀을 깨닫지 못하더라
51.예수께서 한가지로 내려가사 나사렛에 이르러 순종하여 받드시더라 그 모친은 이 모든 말을 마음에 두니라
52.예수는 그 지혜와 그 키가 자라가며 하나님과 사람에게 더 사랑스러워 가시더라
41.Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.

43.After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
44.Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45.When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
46.After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47.Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48.When 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?"
50.But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
51.Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52.And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
