In a room connected with the temple there was a school taught by the rabbis, and to this place after a while the child Jesus came. He sat with the other youth at the feet of the great teachers, and listened to their words. The Jews had many wrong ideas about the Messiah. Jesus knew this, but He did not contradict the learned men. As one who wished to be taught, He asked questions about what the prophets had written.

I forbindelse med templet var der en skole, hvor rabbinerne gav undervisning. Her fandt Jesus ind lidt senere. Han satte sig ved siden af de andre børn ved de store læreres fødder og lyttede til deres ord. Jøderne havde mange forkerte anskuelser angående Messias. Det vidste Jesus; men han sagde ikke de lærde mænd imod. Som en, der gerne ville lære, stillede han spørgsmål om, hvad profeterne havde skrevet.
