At twelve years old, Jesus stays behind in Jerusalem and astonishes the temple scholars.
During the annual Passover trip, twelve-year-old Jesus stays behind in the temple without his parents knowing.

When Mary asks why he did this to them, Jesus replies with words that hint at everything to come: 'Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?'
