In the boyhood stories given in the "Apocryphal Gospels," the writers are anxipu* to show that his divinity manifested itseif, evei.in his earliest years, by the amazing, and often gro- b sque, miracles which he is said to have accomplished. Here, however, the writer seems to wi.-h us to under- stand that his divinity shewed itself in his being a good son of his parent-., and in his wonderful character and spiritual insight. The occasion of this story seems ., be a special visit t,- Jerusalem in Jesus' thirteentn year, when he would undergo a ceremon., which was some- thing like a combinatijn of coming nf age and of confirmation, or reception, into full Church membership: he be- came, in the phrase which the Jews still use, "a son of the Law." It was. therefore, for him a great ano" mem- orable occasion in his life. He would partake of the Passover meal with his family. The ceremonies attendant on the Passover lasted a f uil week, but only on the first two davs were worshippers obliged to v ; sit the Temple. On the thiH day, therefore, most of those who h<d come from n distance would retuir hcme. for there was little to detain them. We may assume, therefore, that on the third day Joseph and. Mary took their de- parture, and supposed, it seems, that Jesus was somewhere in the caravan. There was no synagogue or school building in the Temp e, but from time to time lectures wtre given there by the rabbis; some of these would deal with technicalities of ihe Law, and t/e intended for thos-e who were making a professional study of it. Others wou!d be of a simpler and practical kind, where, doubtless, questions from the audience and free discussion of diffi- culties would be allowed. Jesus, who was now a "son of the Law.' 1 woulu certainly be admitted. Imagination likes to consider what questions Jesus may have asked, and what may have been his responses to draw forth the astonishment of the hearers. We can easily suppose that into some discussion upon a matter of ritual or legal detail he might inter- ject a question, or saying, penetrating to the very heart of religion. I ut this is only guess work. Jesus' answer to his anxious parents may be translated. "Knew you not that I must be about my Father'.} busi- n<-<-." or "Knew you not that I must be in my Father's house." On the whole, perhaps the former is morj probable, but the meaning might be, simply, that, of course, he would ba found in the Temple. The passage does not necessarily or even naturally. imply that Jesus supposed God, and not Joseph, to be 'tis Father, nor can we say. with any confidence that even in his boyhood he knew himself to be the Son of God in some unique sense. We speak sometimes as if we knew just what passed in the mind and soul of Jesus but the Gospels are reticent about his self-consciousness; his inner life was "hidden" in God, and must always be mysterious to us. None the less, the passage suggests a considera- tion of great importance. It suggests that to Jesus, even as a child, God w:is ways with the result 'hat his body wa- , wholly free from disease, and in the' full powers of his manhood he was' capable of great exertion.
