<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> Jesus&#8217;<n id="2" /> parents went to Jerusalem<n id="3" /> every<n id="4" /> year for the feast of the Passover.<n id="5" />

Her<n id="1" /> parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one<n id="2" /> what had happened.p>

You will be betrayed even by parents,<n id="1" /> brothers, relatives,<n id="2" /> and friends, and they will have some of you put to death.

But<n id="1" /> when the feast was over,<n id="2" /> as they were returning home,<n id="3" /> the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His<n id="4" /> parents<n id="5" /> did not know it,

So<n id="1" /> Simeon,<n id="2" /> directed by the Spirit,<n id="3" /> came into the temple courts,<n id="4" /> and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary according to the law,<n id="5" />

Then<n id="1" /> Jesus<n id="2" /> said to them, &#8220;I tell you the truth,<n id="3" /> there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers<n id="4" /> or parents or children for the sake of God&#8217;s kingdom
