The boy in the temple

At twelve, Jesus stays behind in the temple at Passover, hearing the teachers and asking them questions. Mary and Joseph find him after three days. It is the last scene with Joseph in it.

KJV (Luke 2:49): “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?”
