⁴ We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

⁵ For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

⁶ that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,

⁷ that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,

⁴³ and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,

⁴⁴ but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him amongst their relatives and acquaintances.

⁴⁵ When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

⁴⁶ After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

⁴⁷ All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

⁴⁸ When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”

⁴⁹ He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

⁵⁰ They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.

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

⁵² And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
