"The Feast of Passover. - In those days there used to be a great feast in the Temple at Jerusalem every year, and people from all parts of the country used to go to Jerusalem for this feast. Joseph and Mary used to go, too, every year. The Child Jesus was a lovely Boy, and was growing strong and tall and more lovely every year. When He was twelve years old Joseph and Mary took Him to Jerusalem for one of these feasts, and a great number of their friends and relations went too, and they all stayed there some days. On their way home again they missed Jesus. Mary thought He was with Joseph, and Joseph that He was with Mary. When they found it was not so, they said: "Oh, He is with our relations;" but when they asked their friends they said: "No - we have not seen Him." So Mary and Joseph went back to Jerusalem and looked about for Him for three days. At last they went into the Temple, and there they found Jesus sitting down with a number of priests and learned people about Him, and he was asking them questions and answering theirs in a wise and clever way - so wise that all these learned men were surprised. When Mary saw Him, she said to Him: "Son, why hast Thou done so to us? Thy father and I have sought Thee with sorrow." Then Jesus answered and said to them: "How is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's work?" Mary and Joseph could not tell why He spoke thus to them, but Mary kept all these words in her heart to think over them. Then Jesus went back with them to Nazareth, and was subject to them - that is, He obeyed them in all things."
