It is the only event of the later childhood of Jesus mentioned in a gospel. The episode is described in Luke 2:41-52.

Mary and Joseph headed back home and after a day of travel realised Jesus was missing, so they returned to Jerusalem, finding Jesus three days later.He was found in The Temple in discussion with the elders. They were amazed at his learning, especially given his young age.
