When they found him not, they went back again to Jerusalem, and sought him.

And when they saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said unto him, "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing."

And he said unto them, "How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must go about my father's business?"

As soon as it was day, he departed and went away into a desert place, and the people sought him and came to him, and kept him that he should not depart from them.

He put forth this similitude, "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, 'Behold, this three years have I come and sought fruit in this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down. Why cumbereth it the ground?'

and the high priests, and scribes sought how to kill him, but they feared the people.

And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away.
