Verse 46
And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and asking them questions: And all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
This picture of Jesus in this incident is that of a precocious learner and not that of a teacher of the religious doctors. His answers mentioned in the last clause were the type of answers students return to teachers examining them with questions. The only fact affirmed here is the advancement of understanding already attained by the boy Jesus at such an early age.
