"How is it that ye sought Me?" answered Jesus. "Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" And as they seemed not to understand His words, He pointed upward. On His face was a light at which they wondered. Divinity was flashing through humanity. On finding Him in the temple, they had listened to what was passing between Him and the rabbis, and they were astonished at His questions and answers. His words started a train of thought that would never be forgotten.

Hvorfor ledte I efter mig? svarede Jesus. Vidste I ikke, at jeg bør være i min Faders gerning? Og da de ikke lod til at forstå hans ord, pegede han opad. Der var et lys over hans ansigt, som de undrede sig over. Guddommeligheden lyste frem gennem menneskeskikkelsen. Da de fandt ham i templet, havde de lyttet til, hvad der foregik mellem ham og rabbinerne, og de undrede sig over hans spørgsmål og svar. Hans ord satte en række af tanker i gang, som de aldrig ville kunne glemme.
