²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

²¹ And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.

⁴⁰ And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.

⁴¹ And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,

⁴² And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,

⁴³ And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.

⁴⁴ And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.

⁴⁵ And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.

⁴⁷ And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.

⁴⁸ And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

⁴⁹ And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?

⁵⁰ And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.

⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

⁵² And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
