Jesus In The Temple Age 12

The Boy Jesus at the Temple - Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.

Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. First, Theophilus should understand that Jesus knew and loved the law from an early age, and that in the very city where he was lynched 20 years later, he was approved at the age of 12. Or perhaps he wasn't approved.

Every year, Jewish believers desired to celebrate the Passover. Jesus' hometown of Nazareth was about 80 miles from the Temple. The narrative in Luke 2:41-52 likely did not describe Jesus' first Passover trip to Jerusalem; but at age 12, He was finally old enough to take His place as a law.
