• When he (Jesus) was twelve years old, they went
  up to the Feast, according to the custom. After
  the Feast was over, while his parents were
  returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in
  Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking
  he was in their company, they traveled on for a
  day. Then they began looking for him among their
  relatives and friends. When they did not find
  him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.

• After three days they found him in the temple
  courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to
  them and asking them questions. Everyone who
  heard him was amazed at his understanding and his
  answers. When his parents saw him, they were
  astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why
  have you treated us like this? Your father and I
  have been anxiously searching for you."

• "Why were you searching for me?" he asked.
  "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's
  house?"But they did not understand what he was
  saying to them. Then he went down to Nazareth
  with them and was obedient to them. But his
  mother treasured all these things in her heart.
  And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in
  favor with God and men - Luke 242-52

• Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd
  gathered, so that he and his disciples were not
  even able to eat. When his family heard about
  this, they went to take charge of him, for they
  said, "He is out of his mind."

• A crowd was sitting around him, and they told
  him, "Your mother and brothers are outside
  looking for you." "Who are my mother and my
  brothers?" he asked. Then he looked at those
  seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are
  my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's
  will is my brother and sister and mother" - Mark
  320-21, 32-35
• Oh no you didnt!

• After this, Jesus went around in Galilee,
  purposely staying away from Judea because the
  Jews there were waiting to take his life. But
  when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near,
  Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave
  here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may
  see the miracles you do." For even his own
  brothers did not believe in him - John 71-5

• "Two men owed money to a certain moneylender. One
  owed him five hundred denarii, and the other
  fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him
  back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which
  of them will love him more? Simon replied, "I
  suppose the one who had the bigger debt
  canceled." "You have judged correctly," Jesus
  said. Then he turned toward the woman and said
  to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into
  your house. You did not give me any water for my
  feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and
  wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a
  kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered,
  has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put
  oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my
  feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have
  been forgiven-- for she loved much. But he who
  has been forgiven little loves little. - Luke
  741-47
