His mother said unto him, "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?" Luke 2:48 The Word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us, but for the first thirty years of his life, we have almost no record of him actually speaking. The episode of “the boy Jesus in the Temple,” recorded in Luke (2:41-52), is the one exception. The old Prayer Book rightly keeps this passage in the readings after the Epiphany, since it marks a key moment where the Word shines forth – yet only Mary begins to understand who He really is.
