Contextual Overview

41 Nowe, his parentes went to Hierusale euery yere, at the feast of ye Passouer. 42 And when he was twelue yere old, they ascended vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast day: 43 And whe they had fulfilled the dayes, as they returned home, the chylde Iesus abode styll in Hierusalem: & Ioseph and his mother knewe not of it. 44 But they, supposyng hym to haue ben in the company, came a dayes iourney, and sought hym among their kinsfolke and acquayntaunce. 45 And when they founde hym not, they turned backe againe to Hierusalem, and sought hym. 46 And it came to passe, that after three dayes, they founde hym in the temple, sittyng in the myddes of the doctours, hearyng them, and posyng them. 47 And all that hearde hym, were astonied at his vnderstanding & aunsweres. 48 And when they sawe hym, they were amased. And his mother said vnto him: Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? Beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee, sorowyng. 49 And he sayde vnto them: Howe is it that ye sought me? Wyste ye not, that I must go about my fathers businesse? 50 And they vnderstoode not that saying which he spake vnto them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they found him not,.... In the company that came from Jerusalem with them, nor among any of their relations and friends, with whom they supposed he was:

they turned back again to Jerusalem, that is, the next morning, for it can hardly be thought they would set out that night, after they had travelled all day, without taking some repose:

seeking him; at Jerusalem, in the streets and broad places of it; a figure of the church and ordinances, where souls look for, and inquire after their beloved, when they have lost him, Song of Solomon 3:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 45. Seeking him. — ζητουντες αυτον - or rather, seeking him diligently, ανζητουντες. This is the reading of BCDL, six others, Vulgate, and nine copies of the Itala. If they sought earnestly when they first found him missing, there is little doubt that their solicitude and diligence must be greatly increased during his three days' absence, therefore the word which I have adopted, on the above authority, is more likely to be the true reading than the ζητουντες of the common text, which simply signifies seeking; whereas the other strongly marks their solicitude and diligence.
