Bible Verses About Passover: Jesus in the temple at time of

Every year Yeshua's parents went to Yerushalayim for the festival of Pesach.

When he was twelve years old, they went up for the festival, as custom required.

But after the festival was over, when his parents returned, Yeshua remained in Yerushalayim. They didn't realize this;

supposing that he was somewhere in the caravan, they spent a whole day on the road before they began searching for him among their relatives and friends.

Failing to find him, they returned to Yerushalayim to look for him.

On the third day they found him -- he was sitting in the Temple court among the rabbis, not only listening to them but questioning what they said;

and everyone who heard him was astonished at his insight and his responses.

When his parents saw him, they were shocked; and his mother said to him, "Son! Why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been terribly worried looking for you!"

He said to them, "Why did you have to look for me? Didn't you know that I had to be concerning myself with my Father's affairs?"

But they didn't understand what he meant.
