Jesus is 12 years old. Mary and Joseph are looking for him... "When they could not find him, they made way back to Jerusalem in search of him, and it was only after 3 days that they found him. He was sitting in the temple, in the midst of those who taught there, listening to them and asking them questions... My son why hast thus treated us so? ... 

Luke 2, 45..
