In context
46 Ikatokea kwamba baada ya siku tatu, wakampata hekaluni, akiwa ameketi katikati ya waalimu, akiwasikiliza na kuwauliza maswali.
47 Wote waliomsikia walishangazwa na ufahamu wake na majibu yake.
48 Walipomwona, walistaajabu. Mama yake akamwambia, “Mwanangu, kwa nini umetutendea hivi? Sikiliza, baba yako na mimi tumekuwa tukikutafuta kwa wasiwasi mkubwa.”
49 Akawaambia, “Kwa nini mmekuwa mkinitafuta? Hamkujua kwamba lazima niwe kwenye nyumba ya Baba yangu?
50 Lakini hawakuelewa nini alichomaanisha kwa maneno hayo.
51 Ndipo akaenda pamoja nao mpaka nyumbani Nazareti na alikuwa mtii kwao. Mama yake alihifadhi mambo yote moyoni mwake.
52 Lakini Yesu aliendelea kukua katika hekima na kimo, na akazidi kupendwa na Mungu na watu.
