\v 17 After they had seen him, they made known what had been said to them about this child.
\v 18 All who heard it were amazed at what was spoken to them by the shepherds.
\v 19 But Mary kept thinking about all the things she had heard, treasuring them in her heart.
2016-04-29 02:24:22 +00:00

\v 33 The child's father and mother were amazed at the things which were spoken concerning him.
\v 34 Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is appointed for the downfall and rising up of many people in Israel and for a sign that is rejected—
\v 35 and a sword will pierce your own soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."

\v 36 A prophetess named Anna was there. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old. She had lived with her husband for seven years after her virginity,
\v 37 and was a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple but was serving with fastings and prayers, night and day.
2016-06-27 10:20:40 +00:00
\v 38 At that very hour, she came up to them and began thanking, and she spoke about the child to everyone who had been waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

\v 41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
\v 42 When he was twelve years old, they again went up at the customary time for the feast.
\v 43 After they had stayed the full number of days for the feast, they began to return home. But the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and his parents did not know it.
2016-04-29 02:24:22 +00:00
\v 44 They assumed that he was with the group that was traveling with them, so they traveled a day's journey. Then they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
\s5
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.

2016-04-29 02:24:22 +00:00
\v 47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
\s5
\v 48 When they saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Listen, your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 49 He said to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
2016-04-29 02:24:22 +00:00
\v 50 But they did not understand what he meant by those words.
\s5
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 51 Then he went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

\v 52 But Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and increased in favor with God and people.
