Contextual Overview

⁴¹Every year, the little family went to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. ⁴²When Jesus was about twelve years old, ⁴³they all left for home after it was over just like they had done every year. But this time, Jesus stayed behind—unknown to his parents. ⁴⁴Joseph and Mary traveled the whole day, each thinking that Jesus was with the other. When they realized Jesus wasn't with either of them, they began searching for him. ⁴⁵They searched everywhere. When they couldn't find him, they headed back to Jerusalem. ⁴⁶After three days of frantically looking, they found him in the main church with the religious teachers, listening and asking questions. ⁴⁷Everyone who was around was amazed at this young boy's understanding and wisdom concerning the Good Book. ⁴⁸His parents found him, and they were amazed at his understanding. Mary put all that aside and asked Jesus, "Son, why did you do this to your dad and me? We were going crazy looking for you!" ⁴⁹Jesus calmly replied, "Why did you look frantically? Didn't you know I would be at my Father's House and learning his work?" ⁵⁰But Joseph and Mary didn't understand what he had asked them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all that heard him were astonished,.... All in the sanhedrim, both the doctors, and their disciples, were amazed,

at his understanding; in the knowledge of the law, and of the Scriptures:

and his answers; which he returned to the questions the doctor's put to him, which were made with so much wisdom and judgment, that it was surprising in one of his years.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 47. Answers: — The word αποκρισις here seems not to mean answers only, but what Jesus said by way of question to the doctors, Luke 2:46. So in Revelation 7:13, one of the elders is said to have answered, saying - when he only asked a question. Bp. PEARCE.
