47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents¹ saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, ^dyour father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that ^eI must be in ^fmy Father’s house?”² 50 And ^gthey did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And ^hhis mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

52 And Jesus ⁱincreased in wisdom and in stature³ and in ⁱfavor with God and man.
