Behold, thy father and I haue sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said vnto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist yee not that I must bee about my fathers businesse? 50And they vnderstood not the saying which he spake vnto them. 51And he went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect vnto them: But his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52And Iesus increased in wisedom and stature, and in fauour with God and man.
