e102. The Finding in the Temple

from Historical Jesus Hosted by Historical Jesus

Jesus, at the age of twelve, accompanies Mary and Joseph, and a large group of their relatives and friends to Jerusalem on pilgrimage for Passover. On the day of their return, Jesus lingered, staying in the Temple, but his parents thought that he was among their group when he was not. Mary and Joseph headed back home and after a day of travel realized Jesus was missing, so they returned to Jerusalem, finding the boy three days later. He was found in the Temple in discussion with the elders, listening to them and asking them questions. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation! Books by Dr. Ralph F.
