when they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem: and Joseph and his mother did not know it;

And He said to them, Why did ye so seek me? Did not ye know that I ought to be in my Father's house?

and He did eat nothing in all those days: and when they were ended, at last He was hungry.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,

and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.

And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.

a reed shaken by the wind? but what did ye go out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that are dressed in fine clothes and live delicately, are in palaces, not in deserts: but what went ye out to see?

And they did so, and caused them all to sit down.

And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God: but while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, He said to his disciples,

And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did?

But he said to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant, Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

And they answered, they did not know whence it was.

And He said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, or bag, or shoes, did ye want any thing? and they said, Nothing.

When I was day after day with you in the temple, ye did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

and their words appeared to them as an idle tale, and they did not believe them.

But their eyes were so restrained that they did not know Him.

And some of those that were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said: but Him they did not see.
