Luke 2:49 in Context — Luke 2
47 E todos os que o ouviam admiravam a sua inteligência e respostas;
48 Quando eles o viram, ficarm surpresos. E sua mãe lhe disse: Filho, por que fizeste assim conosco? Eis que teu pai e eu com ansiedade te procurávamos.
49 Ele lhes disse: Por que me procuráveis? Não sabeis que devo estar nos negócios de meu Pai?
50 E eles não entenderam as palavras que lhes dizia.
51 Então desceu com eles, e veio a Nazaré, e os obedecia. E a sua mãe guardava todas essas coisas no seu coração.
