Contextual Overview

⁴¹ Now his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the paschal feast. ⁴² when Jesus therefore was twelve years old they went thither, as was customary at the time of that festival. ⁴³ when that was expired, they returned, but the young Jesus staid behind in Jerusalem, without being miss'd either by Joseph or his Mother. ⁴⁴ so that they went a whole day's journey, imagining he was somewhere among the company, and then they look'd for him among their relations and acquaintance; but not finding him, ⁴⁵ they turn'd back to Jerusalem to enquire for him there. ⁴⁶ three days after they found him in the temple, sitting near the doctors, attending to them and asking them questions. ⁴⁷ and all that heard him were astonish'd at his understanding and answers. ⁴⁸ when Joseph and his mother saw him, great was their surprize: and his mother said to him, son, why did you leave us thus? your father and I have been looking for you with great concern. ⁴⁹ Jesus replied, why were ye so sollicitous about me? don't you know that 'tis my business to be in my father's house? ⁵⁰ but they did not comprehend the meaning of that expression.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all that heard him were astonished,.... All in the sanhedrim, both the doctors, and their disciples, were amazed,

at his understanding; in the knowledge of the law, and of the Scriptures:

and his answers; which he returned to the questions the doctor's put to him, which were made with so much wisdom and judgment, that it was surprising in one of his years.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 47. Answers: — The word αποκρισις here seems not to mean answers only, but what Jesus said by way of question to the doctors, Luke 2:46. So in Revelation 7:13, one of the elders is said to have answered, saying - when he only asked a question. Bp. PEARCE.
