“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:49 Why sought ye me? - He does not blame them for losing, but for thinking it needful to seek him: and intimates, that he could not be lost, nor found any where, but doing the will of a higher parent.
2:50 It is observable that Joseph is not mentioned after this time; whence it is probable, he did not live long after.
2:52 Jesus increased in wisdom - As to his human nature, and in favour with God - In proportion to that increase. It plainly follows, that though a man were pure, even as Christ was pure, still he would have room to increase in holiness, and in consequence thereof to increase in the favour, as well as in the love of God.
Lu 2:51 He went down with them. If his heart drew him to the temple, the voice of duty called him back to Galilee, for the law required obedience to parents.
