Changes

125:2.10 Day by day [[Jesus]] was [[thinking]] through his [[problems]]. By the end of the week he had made many [[adjustments]]; but when the time came to return to [[Nazareth]], his [[youthful]] [[mind]] was still swarming with [[perplexities]] and beset by a host of unanswered questions and unsolved problems.

125:2.11 Before [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122#122:1._JOSEPH_AND_MARY Joseph and Mary] left [[Jerusalem]], in company with [[Jesus]]' [[Nazareth]] teacher they made definite arrangements for Jesus to return when he reached the age of fifteen to begin his long [[course]] of [[study]] in one of the best-known [[academies]] of the [[rabbis]]. [[Jesus]] accompanied his [[parents]] and teacher on their visits to the [[school]], but they were all distressed to [[observe]] how indifferent he seemed to all they said and did. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] was deeply pained at his [[reactions]] to the [[Jerusalem]] visit, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] was [[profoundly]] [[perplexed]] at the lad's strange remarks and unusual [[conduct]].

125:2.12 After all, [[Passover]] week had been a great [[event]] in [[Jesus]]' life. He had enjoyed the [[opportunity]] of meeting scores of boys about his own age, fellow [[candidates]] for the [[consecration]], and he utilized such [[contacts]] as a means of learning how people lived in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkestan Turkestan], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthia Parthia], as well as in the Far-Western provinces of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire Rome]. He was already fairly conversant with the way in which the [[youth]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt] and other regions near [[Palestine]] grew up. There were thousands of young people in [[Jerusalem]] at this time, and the [[Nazareth]] lad personally met, and more or less extensively interviewed, more than one hundred and fifty. He was particularly interested in those who hailed from the [[Orient|Far-Eastern]] and the remote [[Occident|Western countries]]. As a result of these [[contacts]] the lad began to entertain a [[desire]] to [[travel]] about the world for the [[purpose]] of learning how the various [[groups]] of his fellow men toiled for their [[livelihood]].
