Then, as they failed to find him, they came back to Jerusalem in search of him.

Three days later they found him in the temple, seated among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions,

but when they could not find any means of getting him in, on account of the crowd, they climbed to the top of the house and let him down through the tiles, mattress and all among the people in front of Jesus.
