  • Luke 2:40-52 : 40 And{G1161} the child{G3813} grew{G837}{(G5707)}, and{G2532} waxed strong{G2901}{(G5712)} in spirit{G4151}, filled{G4137}{(G5746)} with wisdom{G4678}: and{G2532} the grace{G5485} of God{G2316} was{G2258}{(G5713)} upon{G1909} him{G846}. 41 Now{G2532} his{G846} parents{G1118} went{G4198}{(G5711)} to{G1519} Jerusalem{G2419} every{G2596} year{G2094} at the feast{G1859} of the passover{G3957}. 42 And{G2532} when{G3753} he was{G1096}{(G5633)} twelve{G1427} years old{G2094}, they{G846} went up{G305}{(G5631)} to{G1519} Jerusalem{G2414} after{G2596} the custom{G1485} of the feast{G1859}. 43 And{G2532} when they had fulfilled{G5048}{(G5660)} the days{G2250}, as{G1722} they{G846} returned{G5290}{(G5721)}, the child{G3816} Jesus{G2424} tarried behind{G5278}{(G5656)} in{G1722} Jerusalem{G2419}; and{G2532} Joseph{G2501} and{G2532} his{G846} mother{G3384} knew{G1097}{(G5627)} not{G3756} of it. 44 But{G1161} they, supposing{G3543}{(G5660)} him{G846} to have been{G1511}{(G5750)} in{G1722} the company{G4923}, went{G2064}{(G5627)} a day's{G2250} journey{G3598}; and{G2532} they sought{G327}{(G5707)} him{G846} among{G1722} their kinsfolk{G4773} and{G2532}{G1722} acquaintance{G1110}. 45 And{G2532} when they found{G2147}{(G5631)} him{G846} not{G3361}, they turned back again{G5290}{(G5656)} to{G1519} Jerusalem{G2419}, seeking{G2212}{(G5723)} him{G846}. 46 And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that after{G3326} three{G5140} days{G2250} they found{G2147}{(G5627)} him{G846} in{G1722} the temple{G2411}, sitting{G2516}{(G5740)} in{G1722} the midst{G3319} of the doctors{G1320}, both{G2532} hearing{G191}{(G5723)} them{G846}, and{G2532} asking{G1905} them{G846} questions{G1905}{(G5723)}. 47 And{G1161} all{G3956} that heard{G191}{(G5723)} him{G846} were astonished{G1839}{(G5710)} at{G1909} his{G846} understanding{G4907} and{G2532} answers{G612}. 48 And{G2532} when they saw{G1492}{(G5631)} him{G846}, they were amazed{G1605}{(G5648)}: and{G2532} his{G846} mother{G3384} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, Son{G5043}, why{G5101} hast thou{G4160} thus{G3779} dealt{G4160}{(G5656)} with us{G2254}? behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, thy{G4675} father{G3962} and I{G2504} have sought{G2212}{(G5707)} thee{G4571} sorrowing{G3600}{(G5746)}. 49 And{G2532} he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} them{G846}, How{G5101} is it that{G3754} ye sought{G2212}{(G5707)} me{G3165}? wist ye{G1492}{(G5715)} not{G3756} that{G3754} I{G3165} must{G1163}{(G5748)} be{G1511}{(G5750)} about{G1722} my{G3450} Father's business{G3962}? 50 And{G2532} they{G846} understood{G4920}{(G5656)} not{G3756} the saying{G4487} which{G3739} he spake{G2980}{(G5656)} unto them{G846}. 51 And{G2532} he went down{G2597}{(G5627)} with{G3326} them{G846}, and{G2532} came{G2064}{(G5627)} to{G1519} Nazareth{G3478}, and{G2532} was{G2258}{(G5713)} subject{G5293}{(G5746)} unto them{G846}: but{G2532} his{G846} mother{G3384} kept{G1301}{(G5707)} all{G3956} these{G5023} sayings{G4487} in{G1722} her{G846} heart{G2588}. 52 And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} increased{G4298}{(G5707)} in wisdom{G4678} and{G2532} stature{G2244}, and{G2532} in favour{G5485} with{G3844} God{G2316} and{G2532} man{G444}.
  • Isa 26:8 : 8 Yea, in the way{H734} of thy judgments{H4941}, O LORD{H3068}, have we waited{H6960}{(H8765)} for thee; the desire{H8378} of our soul{H5315} is to thy name{H8034}, and to the remembrance{H2143} of thee.
  • 1 Kgs 3:6-9 : 6 And Solomon{H8010} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thou hast shewed{H6213}{(H8804)} unto thy servant{H5650} David{H1732} my father{H1} great{H1419} mercy{H2617}, according as he walked{H1980}{(H8804)} before{H6440} thee in truth{H571}, and in righteousness{H6666}, and in uprightness{H3483} of heart{H3824} with thee; and thou hast kept{H8104}{(H8799)} for him this great{H1419} kindness{H2617}, that thou hast given{H5414}{(H8799)} him a son{H1121} to sit{H3427}{(H8802)} on his throne{H3678}, as it is this day{H3117}. 7 And now, O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, thou hast made thy servant{H5650} king{H4427}{(H8689)} instead of David{H1732} my father{H1}: and I am but a little{H6996} child{H5288}: I know{H3045}{(H8799)} not how to go out{H3318}{(H8800)} or come in{H935}{(H8800)}. 8 And thy servant{H5650} is in the midst{H8432} of thy people{H5971} which thou hast chosen{H977}{(H8804)}, a great{H7227} people{H5971}, that cannot be numbered{H4487}{(H8735)} nor counted{H5608}{(H8735)} for multitude{H7230}. 9 Give{H5414}{(H8804)} therefore thy servant{H5650} an understanding{H8085}{(H8802)} heart{H3820} to judge{H8199}{(H8800)} thy people{H5971}, that I may discern{H995}{(H8687)} between good{H2896} and bad{H7451}: for who is able{H3201}{(H8799)} to judge{H8199}{(H8800)} this thy so great{H3515} a people{H5971}? 10 And the speech{H1697} pleased{H3190}{(H8799)}{H5869} the Lord{H136}, that Solomon{H8010} had asked{H7592}{(H8804)} this thing{H1697}. 11 And God{H430} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Because thou hast asked{H7592}{(H8804)} this thing{H1697}, and hast not asked{H7592}{(H8804)} for thyself long{H7227} life{H3117}; neither hast asked{H7592}{(H8804)} riches{H6239} for thyself, nor hast asked{H7592}{(H8804)} the life{H5315} of thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)}; but hast asked{H7592}{(H8804)} for thyself understanding{H995}{(H8687)} to discern{H8085}{(H8800)} judgment{H4941}; 12 Behold, I have done{H6213}{(H8804)} according to thy words{H1697}: lo, I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} thee a wise{H2450} and an understanding{H995}{(H8737)} heart{H3820}; so that there was none like thee before{H6440} thee, neither after{H310} thee shall any arise{H6965}{(H8799)} like unto thee.
