In context

47 And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.

48 And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.

49 And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

50 And his words seemed strange to them.

51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

52 And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.
