A climate mangles a rush myth. Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for Passover. And when Jesus was twelve years old, they all went there as usual for the celebration. After Passover his parents left, but they did not know that Jesus had stayed on in the city. They thought he was travelling with some other people, and they went a whole day before they started looking for him. When they could not find him with their relatives and friends, they went back to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.
Three days later they found Jesus sitting in the temple, listening to the teachers ad asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was surprised at how much he knew and the answers he gave.
When his parents found him, they were amazed. His mother said, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I would be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he meant.
Jesus went back to Nazareth with his parent's and obeyed them. His mother kept on thinking about all that had happened.
Jesus became wise, and he grew strong. God was pleased with him and so were the people.
