Jesus in the Temple
At the age of twelve years, Jesus accompanied His mother and Joseph to Jerusalem, to attend the Passover.  On their return journey He was missed from the company, and after searching for Him three days, He was found in the temple, talking with the teachers.  In reply to their earnest questions, He said:  "Know ye now that I must be about my Father's business?"  The age of twelve was the period the Jewish child passed from its moral responsibility to its parents to its personal accountability to its God.
