The Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple, by Carl Heinrich Bloch

“[Joseph and Mary] found [Jesus] in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

“And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

“And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, … behold, [we] have sought thee sorrowing.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” (Luke 2:46–49; see Luke 2:46, footnote c; from Joseph Smith Translation).
