125:4.1 In the meantime, [[Jesus]] had remained in the [[temple]] throughout the afternoon, listening to the [[discussions]] and enjoying the more [[quiet]] and decorous [[atmosphere]], the great crowds of [[Passover]] week having about disappeared. At the conclusion of the afternoon [[discussions]], in none of which [[Jesus]] participated, he betook himself to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_(Biblical_village) Bethany], arriving just as Simon's [[family]] made ready to partake of their evening meal. The three youngsters were overjoyed to greet [[Jesus]], and he remained in Simon's house for the night. He visited very little during the evening, spending much of the time [[alone]] in the [[garden]] [[meditating]].

125:4.2 Early next day [[Jesus]] was up and on his way to the [[temple]]. On the brow of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olivet Olivet] he paused and wept over the [[sight]] his eyes beheld—a [[spiritually]] [[impoverished]] people, [[tradition]] bound and living under the [[surveillance]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Legion Roman legions]. Early forenoon found him in the [[temple]] with his [[mind]] made up to take part in the [[discussions]]. Meanwhile, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122#122:1._JOSEPH_AND_MARY Joseph and Mary] also had arisen with the early dawn with the [[intention]] of retracing their steps to [[Jerusalem]]. First, they hastened to the house of their [[relatives]], where they had lodged as a [[family]] during the [[Passover]] week, but [[inquiry]] elicited the fact that no one had seen [[Jesus]]. After searching all day and finding no trace of him, they returned to their [[relatives]] for the night.

125:4.3 At the second conference [[Jesus]] had made bold to ask questions, and in a very [[amazing]] way he [[participated]] in the [[temple]] [[discussions]] but always in a [[manner]] consistent with his [[youth]]. Sometimes his pointed questions were somewhat [[embarrassing]] to the learned [[teachers]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Law Jewish law], but he evinced such a [[spirit]] of candid [[fairness]], coupled with an evident [[hunger]] for [[knowledge]], that the [[majority]] of the temple [[teachers]] were disposed to treat him with every [[consideration]]. But when he presumed to question the [[justice]] of putting to [[death]] a drunken [[gentile]] who had wandered outside the [[court]] of the [[gentiles]] and unwittingly entered the forbidden and reputedly [[sacred]] precincts of the [[temple]], one of the more intolerant teachers grew impatient with the lad's implied [[criticisms]] and, glowering down upon him, asked how old he was. Jesus replied, " thirteen years lacking a trifle more than four months. " " Then, " rejoined the now irate teacher, " why are you here, since you are not of age as a son of the law? " And when [[Jesus]] explained that he had received [[consecration]] during the [[Passover]], and that he was a finished student of the [[Nazareth]] [[schools]], the teachers with one accord derisively replied, " We might have known; he is from [[Nazareth]]. " But the [[leader]] insisted that [[Jesus]] was not to be blamed if the rulers of the [[synagogue]] at [[Nazareth]] had graduated him, technically, when he was twelve instead of thirteen; and notwithstanding that several of his detractors got up and left, it was ruled that the lad might continue undisturbed as a [[pupil]] of the [[temple]] [[discussions]].
