'Parents' in the Bible

Guided by the Spirit, he entered the temple complex. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform for Him what was customary under the law,

Every year His parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival.

After those days were over, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but His parents did not know it.

When His parents saw Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.

His disciples questioned Him: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

“We know this is our son and that he was born blind,” his parents answered.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”
